Galaxy Cat Parrots can be entertaining and beautiful to look at. They are smart, can learn tricks, and may provide companionship to some people. These are just a few of the reasons that parrots have become the third most popular pet in America. Unfortunately, the companion parrot has joined the ranks alongside the most discarded, homeless pets in America. They are also likely the most complex and most misunderstood of all popular animals kept as pets. Parrots are inherently wild. Even if captive bred, they possess the same wild traits as their wild born cousins who live in the jungles and rainforests. The parrots’ loud vocalizations help them communicate with mates and neighboring flocks in the distance. The larger species of parrots have raucous, ear shattering screams that can be heard from miles away. The smaller parrots can be heard from equal distances with their shrill, ear piercing screams that are often repetitive and annoying. Even the smallest parrots like the little budgerigar (commonly called budgie or parakeet) have been known to be too loud and nerve wracking for some people. The parrots’ beak is designed for constant chewing, i.e. nest building, breaking and opening nuts, foraging for food, and chewing branches. Their beaks can also be dangerous and cause serious injuries to humans. For example, it’s estimated that a large macaw has the bite strength of 500 to 700 pounds per square inch. And the little Senegal parrot, in spite of his relatively small size, has a tremendously powerful bite that can cause considerable pain and serious injuries. Like all wild animals, even small parrots with no history of biting, may have a flight or fight response and will potentially bite when frightened or startled. Parrots are highly intelligent and hypersensitive emotionally and physically. Improper handling can teach an already fearful or aggressive bird, or even a tame and loving bird, to bite and become aggressive. This can not only cause the bird serious psychological, stress related problems, it can also dramatically affect his/her physical health. Learned aggressive behavior from mishandling is one of the primary reasons parrots are surrendered or sold and live in at least five homes before dying prematurely or finding their forever home. The parrots’ wild traits don’t usually mesh well in people’s homes or even in outside aviaries. The third most popular pet in America is one of the most frustrating, destructive, messy, and noisy pets a person can have, increasing the odds that the birds will be abused and neglected, and rehomed. Yet, pet stores rarely offer these facts to their customers prior to purchase. It’s only after the bird arrives home, and the excitement has worn off, is the unsuspecting consumer hard hit with the reality of parrot parenthood. The additional cleaning, the destruction of personal property, “sudden” biting and behavior problems, and the continual screaming are more than most people can tolerate. As a result, some parrots are forced to live their entire lives in closets, garages, and basements, or in makeshift, outdoor cages and aviaries, subjecting the bird to the elements and unsuitable weather and dangerous predators. Others pass the bird onto other unsuspecting consumers without a word of caution. It is estimated that the majority of all captive parrots eventually end up in at least five homes before suffering and dying prematurely. Millions of unwanted parrots are listed for sale on the internet, in newspapers, in magazines, and are sold at bird marts across the nation. Avian rescue groups estimate that most “pet” parrots rarely survive their first year and others suffer before dying prematurely from abuse and neglect. Those who survive often exist in deplorable conditions, with no quality of life and they suffer from loneliness. They frequently suffer from loneliness or overcrowding and become hoarder victims. In spite of the suffering, breeders are not slowing down. In fact, millions of baby parrots are flooded into the market every year. The natural life span of parrots ranges from 20 to 85 years, adding to the tragedy and complexities of keeping them as pets, and exacerbating the multiple home syndrome. Pet store marketing campaigns give consumers the false impression that parrots make ideal pets. Yet nothing could be further from the truth, as parrots require an extraordinary amount of care and attention and can have lifespans comparable to humans.
I had one for eighteen years. It flew down out of a tree next to my house and landed on my head and started making the coolest fart sounds in my ear and it was the beginning of a wonderful companionship.
@Raptor Bolt they are really awesome pets and very sweet and very smart. They also love to cuddle. But if you cuddle them in bed always be careful that you don't roll on top of them and never fall asleep.
I'm not so sure that they commonly do talk... that's why when people ask me how they can get their bird to talk, I think they shouldn't necessarily expect it to happen. I didn't try to teach my bird. I just talked to her a lot and eventually, just because she wanted to, she started imitating me. Boy was I surprised!
How sweet! I have a female. Think she is about 18, heard they can live til 30. Hope so. She is my sunshine. She's a rescue. Had her for 10 yrs. She runs around saying uh-oh when time 4 a bath, & says not-yet when time to feed her. Greets me at the door when I come home, she flys directly to my shoulder. If I leave her in her cage when I leave and don't immediately give her attn when I get home, then she throws herself to the bottom of her cage and screams and
I thought the same actually I just looked up a video asking about do lovebirds talk and this is the first video that came up and I am amazed because I thought lovebirds could not talk mine for seven years and I talk to him all the time is a difference maybe you think 1:43 don’t ?
She was about a year old when she first started trying to say "you're cute". It really took me by surprise :) I didn't expect her to learn to talk but I have to say I was very pleased! I wish you the best of luck. I hope your bird will learn, too :)
My two peach-faced lovebirds, Peaki and Pepper are obcessed with Peaches. They both learned to "speak" by parroting Peaches. They fly to the T.V. when they hear her sweet voice and they check behind the T.V. to try to locate Miss. Peaches. Thanks for keeping this video up. Fran
Thanks for sharing, reminds me to my lovebird. She didn't talk, but I knew they could produce some small words. And for all people who want to buy a lovebird, they really need LOVE from people. If they are caged alone, they also need a mirror in their cage. The lovebird will talk and sing to the mirror, And still you need to spend a lot of time to keep the bird happy. If they are caged with 2 or more they will spend most of the time together and people's affection is less needed.
Best thing to do is raise it alone to bond with you. Then later buy another bird to keep it company if you're gone. The first bird will still be affectionate towards you and learn your words and teach it to the other bird as well
My love bird says a bunch of words too..she says ; Baby Baby Bird Haaaayyy!!! with emphasis. Git while swinging her head.... she can chatter like a red squirrel and blow kisses she kinda says nite-nite...when I put her to bed every night... and she can dance ...boy can she dance... probably forgot 1-2 things ... she's the dearest little sweetheart...we love her to pieces.... Oh! in her cage I have a large hoop earring on a cage strut and beside it, I have a regular pen also on the strut ...when I tell her to put the ring on the pen she will go over and keep trying till she gets it ...The reward is I open the cage door and let her out... then she's so excited I can sing and get her to dance her little heart out....My wife and I only have the one animal....
I went through a period when I had some health problems and had to be at home a lot. The bird was my companion :) For about a year, I just talked to her all the time, said the same things to her. I didn't expect her to learn how to talk, one day she did :) I know Lovebirds can learn but they aren't really known talkers. I was lucky.
While I know it's been some years now since the death of your beloved "Peaches,"it still brings tears to my eyes because I can hear the Love& tenderness for her in your voice...Of course we can never *replace* one of our beloved pets whom become such a part of our family&daily life, but I do hope you have other animals to love in your life now...With the staggering/heart wrenching numbers of abandoned/unwanted domestic animals worldwide, it takes more loving people like us to make a difference!
At last a love bird that talks. I have a 4 month old love bird that talks. She says a friend few things and even copy's me laughing . These little birds are smart. I got my hand reared love from a young baby. There where 5 she was the last 1left so was alone. I'm so happy I have her. She's so smart. Your lovebird is also very smart, lovely 😍
I'm so happy for you and your bird! Sounds like you have a real sweet one and that she loves you as much as you love her :) I wish you many more years together :)
Of all the lovebird videos I found this one is the cutest. And the only one I saw where the lovebird mimics a word/sound. Must be very uncommon. Even mimics your laugh. Your lovebird was unique.
I am so sorry for your loss! I've had a few quakers enter and exit my life and each has left a mark. I'm currently looking for a small bird for my son as a companion and we've settled on lovebirds. Hearing just how interactive they are has sealed the deal. Now to find a reputable breeder! Thanks for sharing this.
This is my favorite video ever! I think she is saying "a treat". I have a 4 month old lovebird and I play this video for him hoping he will learn from her. Thanks a lot for this fantastic video.
I hope when you have time to have another birdie you get another peachy, after all their *lovebirds* and when you get one that adores you there is nothing nicer.
I don't think they are famous for being real talkers. I was VERY surprised when mine started to mimic me. But I think it was just because I was home with her a lot and had certain things I'd always call her to her to try to make her feel good, even if I couldn't be with her at the time.
If you want a Lovebird to remain friendly its best not to have more than 1 or they will bond to the other bird instead of there human. I have a hand raised Female that looks exactly like yours and also talks which is not the norm but some do learn to talk and even whistle, mine even makes the kissing sound. I think this little bird is saying "a treat" instead of "a tweet" could that be the case? Did you give treats when you would go to the cage? They are very smart about word associations.
I have 2 birds I used this to train them to speak They both now will say Pretty Bird and a Treat clearly Aswell as Yup and Kiss Kiss Thanks for posting this
(cont'd) flops around like a dying fish out of water. It's the funniest thing. She's still not fond of my hands though. I think she thinks they are some kind of creature that always hang out on my arms. Its funny, when I got her, she didn't even know she could fly. Must have never been let out of her cage. Big personality for such a tiny creature.
I had a lovebird called Damian. We don't know if it was a he/she but it was the most vicious little b******d yet the most charismatic thing I've ever had the pleasure of owning.
My little love bird is talking , I thought I was going crazy . 🤪 lol. She says here own name and now says hello and even copy's me laughing. They are not as stupid as people might think. After all they are part of the parrot family. So makes sense they may be able to talk. Very smart little thing my 4 month old love bird. I'm blessed. X
I didn't really try to teach my bird to talk. I just talked to her a lot and after about a year she started mimicking me. It takes a lot of patience, love, and repetition and you can't let yourself be too disappointed if your bird never talks. Just love him anyway :)
Yes she became kinda grouchy when she hit puberty. We had hoped she was a male because we were told males are generally more gentle but after about a year, she started to lay eggs and that settled that :) When she was young, she used to love to cuddle. I felt sad when that stopped. I cared for a friend's cockatiel for a while, too. She was also very sweet and gentle.
i think instead of "a tweet", she might of been saying "a treat". it sounded like she was asking for one. "a treat?" sooo cute. i have a book all about love birds, but mine isn't in it. she has a blue body, some of her tail is purple, a grey-white head, and grey flight feathers (i don't know if flight featherss are important. after all, im only 11)
how did you get your lovebird to say words? I've been trying since i got her in may, and she just screams at me. also, i've been trying to get her hand trained, but no such luck.
Shannon Redmayne If you are still stuggling with hand taming your bird, the first thing you would need to know is that if it was not hand raised than it is going to be 10 times harder than usual. But a great way to start is just through the cage give him/her it's favorite treats. After a while it will start to notice that the hand is what gives it those treat and it will start to recognize hand=treat. Keep doing that and after a little you can move slowly to giving it to them in the cage, once they are taking it from your fingers without hesitation, this is a good time to teach step up, use the treat almost as a lure and be slow, quite and gentle. Talk to your bird and let it know it's ok and as soon as it either takes the treat or steps up reward! Depending on how fast your bird learns it should take anywhere from about 2-3 days to a month. Good luck mate!
I just caught how he is saying- a tweet - my Lovies and I have watched this many times now (they love it lol like lovie soap opera or lovie drive in hah) anyways ...he is picking up the ‘a ‘ part when you said A cute bird. They will do this. Pick up words and rephrase...my pionus and macaw do this all the time and being Lovies Can talk although many don’t it makes sense they would pick up on this as well. Birds are so much smarter than we give them credit for! I do want to me to the cage size...while it is very clean and I really thank you for that! It is also Very small. They should not be in anything under 18-20” and preferably larger with 1/2” bar spacing...the smaller the cage the more aggression you are likely to get as well as if he is not let out more room to play and fly.. Toys are essential as well...stay clear of huts and cavities as this can promote hormonal aggression as well.
Yes it is really cute :) It's funny how she tries to repeat your words :D Peaches' laugh made me giggle ;) I'm really sorry that she passed away :( I bet that she feels better in another world or is happy as a different bird :)
My son was 5 when he came to live with me and he talks to himself but I don't know what he's saying. I know he can say his own name but for some reason he communicates with me mostly through screaming at top volume, a habit his first human likely taught him that I've never been able to break him of
Yes, she was very smart and a lot of fun. I'm glad I have her on video. It's awfully quiet around the house without a bird. Unfortunately, I'm just too busy to have one for the time being. I also enjoyed the videos of your bird. Maybe next time I will adopt a parrotlet. They seem pretty sweet judging by the RUclips videos I've been watching.
i had a peachfaced lovebird that i bought alone, and her name was Peaches, the best bird ive ever owned, she loved me, but then she died from gang green in her foot :( i now have two love birds, a fishers love bird and another peach faced, but since i bought them together, they hate me! lol...dang!
none of us even thought to put the bird away from the fumes and open the window. Later that evening we noticed she was acting kind of strangely but didn't think much of it. Just thought she was being silly as usual. The next morning, I went to say hello to her and feed her and she was dead. We were also babysitting a bird for a friend at the time. Fortunately that one was okay. Warning to all bird-owners: be very careful with teflon and other fumes in your house!
I have had all kinds of birds through the years but never known a love bird had the capability of talking. None of mine ever did. It was a surprise to me. Is it a male?
My Peach Face Love bird doesn't talk, but loves me. Bibi Bird lands on my shoulder or eye glasses. Then nibbles gently on my ears and inside of them or sits on my glasses, nibbles on my eyebrows and will sit on the and preen himself for a while. He also preens my female Sun Conure and goes back and forth between us. Your bird is so cute but like mine is territorial and sometimes tries to bite me when he's in his cage or touch the toys inside.
"A treat!?" I think that's what the silly bird is asking for. That's sweet.
TheCWiggum I thought the same.

I think birds are heavily underrated as pets. They are amazing intelligent, active, yet manageable at the same time. And Cute.
Yes! Exactly
PetHub no they poop everywhere, destroy everything, and bite you
Ali Baba ill agree with the pooping. But we've never had a lovebird bite or destroy things.

Reminds me of my love bird, Baby. We had him for 17 wonderful years. I realky miss him. This bird in the video is adorable! Thanks for the smile.

A treat...lol..its a word..haga, your cute he finally said it...so cute..he is!!!
Much more fun and a lot easier to learn how what a lovebird is saying rather than teaching them how to mimic you. They have a wide birdy vocabulary.
I don't think they are famous for being real talkers. I was VERY surprised when mine started to mimic me. But I think it was just because I was home with her a lot and had certain things I'd always call her to her to try to make her feel good, even if I couldn't be with her at the time.
Sweet bird, I really like her, I am sorry she passed away..
Annette you had the best bird ever.
Is crazy how parakeets do a better job at talking than Lovebirds even tho they are smaller birds but they both are great pets!

This is the video that taught my love birds how to talk
i think instead of "a tweet", she might of been saying "a treat". it sounded like she was asking for one. "a treat?" sooo cute. i have a book all about love birds, but mine isn't in it. she has a blue body, some of her tail is purple, a grey-white head, and grey flight feathers (i don't know if flight featherss are important. after all, im only 11)
This is adorable my beautiful lovebird when she chirps I can hear “hello” when she chirps
wow your bird's voice is so sweet.
One of my birds also started saying pretty bird listening to your bird :)
Love the sound he makes!
My female lovebird loves watching this video. She sits on the moniter and talks to peaches everyday.
Wow!!! adorable!!!
how did you get your lovebird to say words? I've been trying since i got her in may, and she just screams at me. also, i've been trying to get her hand trained, but no such luck.
birds that are raised by hand from birth happen to learn words easier
Shannon Redmayne If you are still stuggling with hand taming your bird, the first thing you would need to know is that if it was not hand raised than it is going to be 10 times harder than usual. But a great way to start is just through the cage give him/her it's favorite treats. After a while it will start to notice that the hand is what gives it those treat and it will start to recognize hand=treat. Keep doing that and after a little you can move slowly to giving it to them in the cage, once they are taking it from your fingers without hesitation, this is a good time to teach step up, use the treat almost as a lure and be slow, quite and gentle. Talk to your bird and let it know it's ok and as soon as it either takes the treat or steps up reward! Depending on how fast your bird learns it should take anywhere from about 2-3 days to a month. Good luck mate!
I just caught how he is saying- a tweet - my Lovies and I have watched this many times now (they love it lol like lovie soap opera or lovie drive in hah) anyways ...he is picking up the ‘a ‘ part when you said A cute bird. They will do this. Pick up words and rephrase...my pionus and macaw do this all the time and being Lovies Can talk although many don’t it makes sense they would pick up on this as well. Birds are so much smarter than we give them credit for!
I do want to me to the cage size...while it is very clean and I really thank you for that! It is also Very small. They should not be in anything under 18-20” and preferably larger with 1/2” bar spacing...the smaller the cage the more aggression you are likely to get as well as if he is not let out more room to play and fly.. Toys are essential as well...stay clear of huts and cavities as this can promote hormonal aggression as well.
"Why is you favorite word not even a word...?''
bird not word lol
a lovebird that bites...i guess we could call that tough love
So you call the bird “Toughlove”??
Yes it is really cute :) It's funny how she tries to repeat your words :D Peaches' laugh made me giggle ;) I'm really sorry that she passed away :( I bet that she feels better in another world or is happy as a different bird :)
D'aww... So cute! Made me laugh and cry at the same time because my lovie would say "Night-Night" sometimes, I miss her so much.
So adorable ❤❤❤❤❤❤
wow! you know, 1 out of 1.000 lovebirds learn how to talk. You got a smart lovebird right there!
My son was 5 when he came to live with me and he talks to himself but I don't know what he's saying. I know he can say his own name but for some reason he communicates with me mostly through screaming at top volume, a habit his first human likely taught him that I've never been able to break him of
Yes, she was very smart and a lot of fun. I'm glad I have her on video. It's awfully quiet around the house without a bird. Unfortunately, I'm just too busy to have one for the time being. I also enjoyed the videos of your bird. Maybe next time I will adopt a parrotlet. They seem pretty sweet judging by the RUclips videos I've been watching.
I have like this bird and talks so nice and it's so cute
i had a peachfaced lovebird that i bought alone, and her name was Peaches, the best bird ive ever owned, she loved me, but then she died from gang green in her foot :(
i now have two love birds, a fishers love bird and another peach faced, but since i bought them together, they hate me! lol...dang!
why dont you hold her? she is craving affection from you
msolyapolya some birds just like climbing their cages
Arad Seyed that is so not true if they are alone they need lots of interaction
Cause she wanna take her talent on the camera
Wont let me, but sits on grandsons head
It might not be hand tame.
omg such a gorgeous lil talented bird. i'm so sorry you had to lose her. ;(
He wants a treat ❤❤
This bird is so adorable!! I love it!!! So cute for sure!! 5*****!! Awesome!! Yes! You are Cute!!!! LOL!
the average life span for a domestic lovebird is 15, so yours is doing really well
none of us even thought to put the bird away from the fumes and open the window. Later that evening we noticed she was acting kind of strangely but didn't think much of it. Just thought she was being silly as usual. The next morning, I went to say hello to her and feed her and she was dead. We were also babysitting a bird for a friend at the time. Fortunately that one was okay. Warning to all bird-owners: be very careful with teflon and other fumes in your house!
its so sad to know that this sweet bird had passed away😭😭😭
That bird is awesome!!
I think its saying 'A Treat'? Love this so cute 🥰🥰
I have had all kinds of birds through the years but never known a love bird had the capability of talking. None of mine ever did. It was a surprise to me. Is it a male?
That’s such a coincidence. My lovebird says “patweet” similar to the way your lovebird says “a tweet” .
Hi, love your bird. I just got a 4 month old Lutino Lovebird. Everytime she hears your bird, she tries to mimic her. Keep uploading vids.
I love your video. I have two lovebirds. Named Bonita & Bonito what did you named your birds.
Love her swing😘
My Peach Face Love bird doesn't talk, but loves me. Bibi Bird lands on my shoulder or eye glasses. Then nibbles gently on my ears and inside of them or sits on my glasses, nibbles on my eyebrows and will sit on the and preen himself for a while. He also preens my female Sun Conure and goes back and forth between us. Your bird is so cute but like mine is territorial and sometimes tries to bite me when he's in his cage or touch the toys inside.
Whattt??? I didnt know lovebirds could talk ;o
she's clearly saying a treat...
i have the very same birb, but he never talks to me :(
even though he never leaves my shoulder and waits for me every single morning...
I don't know why youtube shows me a 15 year old video but I hope she's still alive.
Omg so cute I wish my love bird (Rio) could talk like yours could I'm so sorry to hear he passed away
