Love it!! My baby girl Stella was such a joy to have! (I have several videos of her talking here on my channel as well- "Stella the startling" brings her up too). Gretta reminds me of my little Stella! :) I really believe they are one of the best companions around! :)
Just so people know and are aware, kitchens laundry's and bathrooms are places where birds should avoid. Fumes from cooking, gas hotplates, cooking oils etc are not good for birds to be around as they put off fumes we can't see or even notice. Same as bathrooms where we use spray deodorant and toilet fresheners and laundry's where chemicals are used to wash . birds should avoid fireplaces and radiant heaters and oil and gas heaters where possible which is hard in cold environments. Its like the canary in the coal mine. If you are unaware of the saying you can google it. Don't mean to sound like a party pooper, just need to look after our feathered friends 👍😎
My hypothesis is that Starlings in the wild have a language that is more complex than humans give them credit for. Imagine if someone could crack the code to their hidden language.
Guys if you have one of these or a parrot or something, stop talking to them like the furbies for the love of God. Talk to them like a human beings in context with whatever language you speak if you're brave enough.
She looks just like my Minnak… “My love, my love, long live my daughter, I love you so much…” he would say to me. He always followed me, came with me wherever I went, and could never stand being without me. He was in love with my hands and would dance love dances on them. When he wanted to impress me, he would fluff up his feathers to look like a bigger bird and sing to me. I lost him when he was 7 months old. He came to me on 06.07.2023 and we were together until 16.01.2024. I miss him so much and he is my eternal love… ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Birds are wonderful to have a bond with. You don't necessarily need to have one as a pet (but that's ok too) Interact when they come around and they'll never let you down. Gretta is so special. Those people are blessed.
I had no idea Starlings could mimic human voices. The range of sounds they make is amazing. Thanks for sharing this video!
He even perfectly mimics the imperfect human whistle
That human voice coming out of it though! 😳

I lost it when she said "whisper, whisper". So sweet.

Her intelligence is astonishing. Never realized how beautiful starlings were until I saw this princess.
imagine hearing "whisper whisper" outside your window at 4 am
Imagine breaking in and hearing the bird talking not knowing what it is.
Starlings are great birds I see thousands of them everyday where I live. Fascinating birds I love them.

Hahaha,
What a beautiful little soul. Her markings are so pretty and her voice is precious!! You are lucky to have her as your friend..
What a sweet bird.
Such a wonderful bird. Magic whisper... And this glistening plumage in different almost metallic colours! Starlings are just mesmerisingly beautiful.
So cute. Birds are amazing creatures
That is crazy!! Whisper whisper then proceed to laugh 🤯
