I had a hand in making this episode! My African Grey Parrot was the model for the silly thumbnail haha!
That was the greatest thumbnail I've seen in awhile 😂
I have an african grey..been with me for 15 years. They attatch themselves to 1 person only. She has never bit me or is even capable of doing so because of her nature. It is different with other people though..nobody can touch her without her biting them. I have her cage in my room..and in the morning she'll climb down..crawl onto my bed and slip under the blankets to lay down and go to sleep next to me.
What did you think of the video? Would you like to see similar video's on other parrots? Let us know in the comments below!
Please do one on the cockatiel
@@afunnymonkey4948 I happen to own a Cockatiel named Marty =) sounds great!
Please consider the caique parrot 😘
Whose video is this? I'm pretty sure I recognize the music and voice from another channel.
Check my episode on France during the Pacific War (en francais), the voice is my wife lol. @@blu12gaming44
"U wanna step up?"
Really enjoyed learning about African Greys and their natural habitat. It would be amazing to see them in the wild!
Thank you for such a great video!
i am amazed and in awe of birds. their intelligence and iq and socialness
nice video ,great info
Useful.
I really liked the amount of work you put in this video. Thank you for sharing ! Being passionated with birds myself, It was very interesting :)
I love these parrots! ☺️
Interesting note about Alex, the parrot who asked what color he was, is that he would apparently often ask the question and the researchers always answered "grey." Since he didn't seem to ever absorb the answer to his question, it could indicate that he didn't really understand the nature of what he said. Like you said though, it's somewhat contested.
Yes I would wager myself that its a coincidence and not the bird answering the question.
Parrots can see other wave length than we do, like ultraviolets.
Most parrot are very bright, very colorfull, but greys are ... grey !
Only when you bath them and look at them in the sun, you can see some metallic blue on their feathers, I think the water darkens their color making them more visible to us, color blind humans.
I think they don't see each other like we do, I think they see themselves more colorfull than we do.
I'd like to have an african grey under a black light to test this hypothesis.
So that maybe the reason why Alex couldn't tell his own color ! To him, he's not grey at all ! he's blue !
Alex, like a person liked hearing about them(our)self perhaps. Can't you just picture a little girl saying 'do I look pretty?' Same principal as "what color..."
@@lisadolan4071 Mine did something weird, but only once: I play lots of jazz, and I will tap my foot or 'dance' or just bop as I walk around the house. When I saw my gray nodding up and down, back and forth, I said, 'You're a cool bird'. To which he responded 'I'm a cool bird'. Now, they usually just repeat exactly what they hear; but this time, he replaced 'you're', with 'I'm'. Concept of self, and describing himself? I don't know.
There is a grey named Gizmo with about 1 million videos. In one he says “ Birds don’t walk they come by air.” I’d say that shows complex thinking.
Love my Timneh!
Please where can I buy one of this bird
lord Nelson should have been rewarded! He caught someone who was robbing him.
I think we all know who should really have been court marshaled
I watched this with my Timneh. But...did you get permission to use the footage you did? I'm just a little bit into this and already recognize a LOT of footage from other things.
Ah. Excellent point, though the clips are all very short there are a few famous parrots shown! I will look into this.
@@ThePacificWarChannel Not just that but stolen from other RUclips videos. Everything from footage of wild greys to famous bird like Petra and Einstein. And some of the script is straight up lifted from other sites as well. I went to go look up George V's parrot and look and behold, the first site I saw had exactly the text in this video.
To answer your point, no, we did not ask for permission to borrow other RUclipsrs' videos or footage of wild greys. Since this is a video made for educational purposes, and since the footage/imagery is used to illustrate or comment on the points being discussed, it can be argued that this is fair use of the content. The borrowed clips are kept relatively short (a few seconds long), barely long enough to give context to the ideas being presented in the overlaid audio. Should any of the RUclipsrs or organizations whose content was borrowed contact us to complain about unauthorized use of their copyrighted material, we would be happy to find ground for understanding (citing, censoring, or else). But none has so far, and if everyone did, not much content would be published on RUclips at all and not many ideas exchanged, as pretty much everything has someone else's work for foundation.
@@ThePacificWarChannel it’s amazing how people find the most petty things the complain about. At least you are giving them something to do. Smh.
I loved the video, watching next to my CAG now ♥️🐦
10:20 *he had his wings clipped and was demoted to "able parrot"*

isn't an African grey it looks like a member of the cockatoo family.
It was interesting and overall good. However, there were some mistakes and inaccuracies.
Well, what was the factual wrongs? i need to know now lol
@@booombasa Too long for me to watch again.
Oh jeez, don’t accuse inaccuracies when you can even name them.
@@bayareababe I can name them I just don't have time to another 14 minutes and 35 seconds watching this again. It is not my job.
@@Hyacinthwings if you can’t back up what you type then DONT type it. It just adds to the non credibility of the narrative you are trying to push.
Please speak clear and loud🌟
“G L A S S” 🤖
pour water
Lord Nelson did nothing wrong
This video is disturbing. Yes, a very factual voice, but no care or warning as to the cruelties shown.
Exactly, I thought this would be a cute video to find out more about the history of my baby african gray who I absolutely adore, but the graphic content that had 0 warning whatsoever nearly made me throw up and had me crying.
What did you want her to do, cry? People need to be disturbed. That's the only way humans listen.
@@th-ck9vl not without warning though? Showing me graphic footage has accomplished NOTHING except making me sick. I haven't felt the need, nor know how to do something about this.
The best thing a person can do is if getting a bird do the homework and know where it is coming from.
chinese people are killing these animals en masse for TCM. I'm angry and sad at the same time. and who are buying birds caught in the wild like this? is this still going on have people been educated?
The CCP promotes the use of TCM, which is why it doesn't die out. Well educated people may know TCM is mostly junk science, but the majority of China isn't well educated. They're mostly blue collar people.
On the otherhand, why do western people continue to buy/sell them on the pet trade? That is just as terrible for their conservation.
