~-~~-~~~-~~-~
I have a 14 year old gray myself. I understand having conversations with him. Flannels calls me mommy. 10 years ago, I was fighting cancer. I would come back home from chemo and radiation, and he would be great. At the beginning, my hair came out. He looked at me and was so concerned. Mommy, what happened to your head feathers? You don't have any head feathers. I told him I was sick, and the medicine the doctor gives me makes my headwaters fall out....but not to worry, when I was done with medicine, they would grow back. He was so prscious...looked at me a second, shook his head and said, My poor mommy is sick. He did that the whole year. Plus, he called himself Dr. Flannels Welby, from the TV show we watched in syndication. One morning, he was so excited and said, Mommy! Mommy! Your head feathers are growing back in. And so they were.
Ooh my God what a story. Being in the most difficult condition a human can be, but your intelligent bird helped you get through that. Unbelievable that he noticed the change of your hair. My goodness, precious little parrot... 🐦❤
Oh my gosh. ❤❤❤
I’m glad you had Dr. Flannels Welby to help you get through that tough time. Hope this comment finds you well.❤❤❤❤
This shows how much these sentient souls are capable of. I am so happy you had your own grey to help you through that 💜
As a cancer survivor myself, I understand how pets can be the best medicine, I didn't have a pet but my neighbors Boxer would always come over to visit me after my chemo treatment. God bless you and I hope you're doing well ❤
It’s like having a cynical middle aged man living with you. I love it. That laugh is hilarious
Mine laughs like a sarcastic, jaded New Yorker, which I used to be. ;)
Gizmo is oh so smart and chatty. He carries on the greatest conversations. It's like having a smarty pants human always ready for a good time. 😂😍😜❤️
Haha we could not agree more. Giz brings us so much joy and laughter to our house!
The people who say birds don't hold conversations and only mimic have not met Gizmo. 🥰
@@jinxedfoxy13_Heather Gizmo or Cosmo love them both, so hilarious
I just read they are altruistic birds, therefor i think that when they use the soft soooper cute voice, they know exactly why and it is not random. I like to think so anyway.
We think so too. These guys are way to smart!!
@@gizmothegreybird Wonderful, knowing something like this truly lifts my spirits!
"You are my Grey Bird " and he answerered " Yeah !" That moment was precious . Love from France 😍🤩
Gizmo is a very intelligent beautiful bird. I'm so glad that it was you who rescued him from living his life in a cage. It's amazing just how much he says ❤️❤️
Thank you so much for your kind words ❤
Gizmo got the best laugh. So contagious. He is amazing ❤
Right! So cute
I’m so glad it was you that rescued him, Emily! It’s clear how much you love him & I’m sure that helped him start to recover from the many years of confinement.
He’s a very special bird & he always puts a smile on my face. He’s such a character & so very intelligent. He’s an absolute delight & I love watching you two communicate. He’s a very clever boy & I’m so glad he’s now living a much happier life. His larger than life personality always brings me joy. Great job, Emily! 💕
If you ask Gizmo "mommy beats me".
Ask him again "mommy's gray bird".
Full of love bombs in this video.
Who needs entertainment when you have Gizmo ?? He is soo funny 😂😂
Except he's not entertainment: he's a sentient, highly intelligent bird who has an inner life of his own... a social, flocking animal who is part of their family flock just as a child would be. That's a lot of responsibility. A lot of people get a grey thinking they're entertainment, a wind-up toy that will perform on demand. Gizmo talks because he's loved properly. People forget that parrots like this live a long time, that they can be noisy, messy, destructive, expensive. Some greys choose not to talk at all. This one is very talkative, because of his personality and the way they love and treat him. Lots of interaction and love. Lots of repetition.
The average amount of time people keep a parrot in our country is only 2-3 years. These birds can live to 60. There aren't enough parrot fosters in this country to take them all. And the instability can make a parrot neurotic with unwanted behaviors, which she has addressed before. Screaming, cussing, bloody feather picking, aggression, etc. Parrots are more particular than dogs and cats, who will assimilate into any family that adopts them. Parrots have to choose you, and you can't force them to assimilate.
And most veterinarians won't do avians for a variety of reasons. It gets expensive. You have to remember that all living things get sick, injured or old at some point... even us. Owners need to establish with an avian vet before then, for annual exams and toenail trimming, etc. People don't think about that, and don't realize that birds need maintenance and they mask their symptoms until they can't any more, if they've never been to an avian vet, by the time the owner realizes something is wrong they're really sick, they may not find an avian vet, can't afford the financial responsibility... that's how I got my grey. Just like a child.
I love my grey, he humbles me... but he also takes work, time and money... and mutual respect and love, which this family provides in abundance. That's why he talks and learns so much.
But still... I wear earplugs at
night sometimes, so I can sleep beyond his sunrise serenade. LOL! On the other hand, if I lie in bed in the morning, I can sometimes hear him practicing a new phrase in the other room. It's like hearing a child building their vocabulary.
@@MarySanchez-qk3hp Yo, chill out. You are taking what he said out of context and literally.
That bird is an excellent talker I have had African greys for many years and and only every so often do you see one that is such a good talker like that they don't all turn out like that
I had no idea these birds could talk like this. Gizmo is amazing.
Emily: you're funny.
Gizmo: funny how?
😂😂😂
I wonder how much he absorbed from his old home & just filed it away. His new family is finding the old and teaching new.
He's fascinating. Brilliant boy!
That is a great way to look at that. We think he has so much filed away in his little brain, as he is constantly coming up with new things.
Gizmo is such a sweet and lovely boy🥰
I love when he said: "You wanna stashio"?
No one could ever get bored of having a conversation with Gizmo. He knows how to make anyone happy😘🦜 He's a good boy. I like when you tell Gizmo that you love him❤
His American accent sounds like a quirky city sidekick, that pops in with his 2 cents and a one-liner whenever he can, and always gets the last word.
🤣
More intelligent than most people i know
He really is
I could listen to his sweet voice for hours! Thank you for always sharing him with us 🥰 - sunbirdsoup aka kate
Of course Kate!! Thanks for always being there for us ❤
African Congo grey parrots are now endangered in Congo, due to poaching. They are arguably the most intelligent of all parrots, surpassed only by ravens. This grey is finally being treated the way he deserves and literally needs. She's right about everything. Mine is very talkative, too. He's also a rescue. They've got the intelligence of a first-grader, a 6-7 year old child... and when they speak, they aren't just mimicking... they understand exactly what they're saying or asking for (except when they mimic water and electronic sounds, which they pick up on their own, or imitate the family dog...). And they talk when they want to. They're not performing toys. Gizmo and his family are so very lucky to have found each other. It's also important to make future arrangements for them, and she's got a child who will be the next generation to take care of him, whom he likes. They can live long enough to go through three generations. It couldn't be more perfect. Gizmo's videos have made me very happy. :)
Crazy that no other animal on this planet is able to do anything like this whatsoever . He clearly enjoys communicating its incredible he makes that dripping water noise lol wtf
What an Amazing talker, Gizmo you are very intelligent ❤️ 😍 ♥️ and a beautiful 😍 🤩 baby. I love you sweetheart ❤️ 💗 💓 💖 😘 💕 ❤️
Love his little kisses he throws 2 u!!!😊😇
Underrated channel. I love Greys, my aunt had one and I miss him so much. Keep it up please!
Aww thank you so much. Yes, more videos to come ❤
Hang on, here we go. I'll be civil as long as Gizzy stays civil......but that's not fun. Love that Grey Bird! 😘😅
He is so smart & funny, y'all make my day. 😂😂
Thank you Ronda!
@@gizmothegreybird ur welcome, thx for sharing him with us.
He is amazing ...
Goes with the name Gizmo ...he is certainly enhancing his name.
Aww thank you
Big Up Gizmo ! Kisses from France ! 💘💘💘
So smart and cheeky😁 Such a happy guy now that he's free and has the best Mom!🥰
You have done a remarkable job in only 6 months! Have you started him on learning shapes, color, material (What is this made of?)? You already probably know how much African Grays love to learn. There's a RUclips site called "Bird Tricks." It's a married couple who trains parrots to be rehomed and abused parrots (there are so many abused and abandoned parrots 😔) to learn to trust people and eventually to be rehomed. And they travel to help people train their parrots. Anyway I love Gizmo!!
This amazing Grey chatterbox surrounded by love makes me very happy.
My favorite is when he hums a tune
O love his George McFly laugh!
Aww…Gizzy. He warms my heart.
Aww thank you ❤🐦 chirp chirp
Love this bird. He is just brilliant.
Gizmo is FANTASTIC!
I have fallen in love with Gizmo. Does he enjoy sitting on your finger or shoulder. I love his laugh. This bird is exceptional!! ❤💙💜
Laughed aloud several times! Luv u Gizbot!
[Gizzie:] «Birds don’t walk!» [Emily:] «What do they do?» [Gizzie:] «They’re good at lying!» LOL, Gizzie dear, you never cease to amaze me!!! And how the heck did I miss this video 3 months ago? ☺️🤗💓❤️🐦❤️💓
Giz Bop sure was chatty in this video. Does anyone else think Giz sounds like Dustin Hoffman’s character in “Rain Man”? Especially when he says “yea”
“I’m an excellent driver, yea”
Birds don’t walk will NEVER get old for me!!!❤❤❤❤
I love you so much Gizmo. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love this birb
Beautiful guy. Soo happy you found each other x 'he's saying bad words..ya'....adorable x
A genuine cure for loneliness, and feeling 💙. Thanks Giz❤
I 💕 this Grey Boy 🥰
I just love the relationship you have with Gizmo...he's such a happy & well-loved boy! We've got 3 CAGs (40 birds all together, mostly rescues or rehomes..) they are all such unique & special characters, who deserve all the love, care, & devotion in the world💖💖💖
HI GIZZY
DEBRA HERE FROM SOUTH WALES UK
I think Giz has the dirtiest laugh ever, I love him to bits he is just so hilarious and just so so intelligent, he is no bird brain!
My daily dose of Gizmo. Now I can go on with my day. Love you Gizmo!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Love these two💟
This is how my dad sounds when he is in the kitchen cooking and noone is allowed to be there when he cooks it is his passion.
GORGEOUS bird. Just love him to pieces.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Emily I think that y'all rescued each other & that's a beautiful thing. I hope y'all have a great weekend
Love you Giz
Who taught him all these words? It took lots and lots of repetition to teach my African grey and he picked up sounds around him so quickly. Whenever I had friends over he would blurt out "who farted" which had everyone cracking up. He got me out the bath to answer the telephone so many times - had me fooled every time!!
You scared me for a moment there Handsome
I can not stop laughing every time his mama laughs I laughs I laugh I'm saying it is so cute he is a you're so cute he is adorable oh my goodness gracious he is so cute
Wow he's a great talker, what helped him learn so well?
We ultimately believe that because he was caged for 16 years that he had to get very good at communicating so he would get attention from his previous owners
@@gizmothegreybird It's so sad that what was so terrible made him so amazing. How can we get this result without the pain and suffering. I have not seen any other bird be this good. 😥
He’s so smart!! Love hearing him talk
Hi Emily ND gizmo much love from New zealand

Gizmo ,sweet boy love u💕💕whatcha doin💕💕,watch gonna dooo💓💓

I ❤ u Gizmo!
So funny when he actually says "chirp".
Big kiss , Gizmo ! 🧡🧡🦜🧡🧡
Thank you 😘🐦
I love the “watcha doin?”❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Love you Gizmo and your Mom is awesome too!
I think this video is a hidden gem on the channel. So many phrases and jokes in just 10 minutes. I can't believe at the end he said I go like damn mama, whats cranking! 😂😂
So funny!
YAY A NEW ONE!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So glad you are here! We are going to start making more longer form content with Gizmo. Is there anything you would like to see? :)
It would be interesting to get Gizmo to visit Einstein or Apollo (other talking CAG's on RUclips).
I have had African greys for many years I used to raise them gizmo is very smart every so often you see one that is just a spitfire when it comes to talking
Oh that dastardly laugh. I am addicted.
He is so funny

Best Greetings from Germany 😊✌️
@@denniswalter4412 Greetings back to you in Germany. 🌞
😍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Does Gizmo ever get on your curtains behind him?? My bird does. I wish she wouldn't though.
i love you giz 🖤 you're a cute little angel 🖤
i love giz so much
It's a bit hard for me to hear what he's saying sometimes... Any chance you could add some captions?
We will try and add as many captions, it’s hard sometimes for long form videos as it takes a long time to add them, since we have to do it manually
@@gizmothegreybird Yeah, that makes sense. 🐱 Thanks for answering so quickly! 😸
What were these birds talking about 1000 years ago in the jungle??
I prefer these un-subtitled cos it's then open to interpretation as to what Giz says
😂❤
Should colab with Apolo
Does he walk through the house?
how’s his foot? looks like he has some pain he is dealing with…?
They lift one foot when they’re resting
what's in the microwave ?? ;)
Don't stab bird! 😭😭😭😭😭
What are you talking about?
Gizmo is adorable. Obviously very well socialized. How old is Gizmo? He does both of you really well!
😂 oh he dreams about it hahaha he’s over her squawking 😅
@@hopesprings4967 hi Hope! Gizmo is a 16 year old rescue who was caged for the first 16 years of his life. We rescued him back in April of this year and he has come so far and progressed very much. He absolutely loves talking and we think because he was only caged that his vocal abilities is what got him the attention with his old owners. He’s so highly intelligent and we are so glad he can be free and loved all the time now ❤
@@gizmothegreybird Wow! Fantastic you rescued him! He’s doing incredible in your care obviously. So he probably doesn’t know how to fly yes. I don’t understand how anybody could do that to a bird or anything for that matter. I won’t dwell on that because that makes me go bonkers 😭🤯🤬lol. I’m surprised that he isn’t Featherless after living in a cage for 16 years! Do you have any other birds? He must just wonder what the hell happened to his life. Like oh my God look at me! I’m out and about and talking and getting good food, plus I got a big ass cage and mama and papa loves me! People like you give me in the human race! Thank you for rescuing Gizmo😇😇🥳💜💐🕊🦜🙋🏼♀️💐. We used to have a very famous football player here by the name of Gizmo Williams. He was short and fast a great running back. Now, if you live in the UK it’s not the same football😝
scroooooge!!! cmon man! the sweatshirt is only 50 cent more than the t shirt in your odious complimentary wares, line! ska-ROOGE! Love, your public defender: count albert of dawsons creek.🎉
He's mumbling a lot. Teachers have to tune up their speach.
