That bird video is amazing, I have an African Grey, so I can totally relate.

This Bird video is amazing in a different way... these birds are so damn smart they can make tools to suit their needs. A friend sent this and I loved it.. so I put it on Youtube. Watch the whole thing... it's pretty cool.

My Grey, Zazu says hello to specific people when they come in... and tells my dogs to go away... get in your bed..

He also has complete telephone conversations with himself.

LG, I'd be afraid the bird would repeat what I said in front of the wrong people. Has that ever happened?

The tool-making crow is incredible. He actually bends the wire so he can pick up the little basket!!!

And that Snowball...did you see him dancing to "Another One Bites the Dust?" Completely different movements from the Stevie Nicks song.

I could watch this stuff for hours. I swear, these birds are smarter (and dance better) than some people I know.

OTF, my bird will repeat anything, and yes things we don't want. For awhile we taught him to say "shaaat up" and" fuggettaboutit" (like a person from Brooklyn, NY)

One habit he has currently, is to make pretty convincing bathroom noises, as someone goes into the bathroom. :teehee: His cage is within range of the bathroom door, and he has it down pretty good. It's amusing to say the least. He only does it when someone is going in that door, not any other door, and he can see 3 from where his cage is.

He shocks me sometimes. Randy, my SO comes in the house, and he goes "Hi Randy"... and doesn't say it any other time.

He also know which dog is which.. when Joy the boxer comes to the cage, he says Joy Bad Dog, go away get in your bed. When Truffles the frenchie comes up, he says No and barks like her. :o Wierd. :innocent:


It's funny but sometimes freaky at the same time, he's very smart.
