Maybe she can tell by smell that chicken is a bird even if it's already dead...? That ability to generalize (that thing in the sky is a bird, and that thing in the oven is also a bird) is really incredible if that's actually what's happening.
Alexis said on Instagram that they are passing live chickens very often. So, there is an additional data point that can help Bunny to figure out the connection.
I thought that Bunny's speech would slow for a bit as she became engaged with Otter, but it seems the cognitive stimulation has made her speech accelerate! She even seemed to be using the buttons to try to talk to Otter while you were napping, as her comments were trying to direct his behavior. That's astounding, and suggests she will teach him the buttons and doesn't care what anyone has to say about it, her mind is made up!! Such a treasure. 🌼

Licking of lips can mean many things. Who knows, she might have meant that it feels like a bird is flying around in her belly or whatever. Why would she refer to herself as dog?
@@0MoTheG She knows that she is a dog. She & her mom have discussed her dog identity & mom's human identity. They have discussed both are animals & friends. She's a smarty pants!
@@0MoTheG could be. She refers herself as a dog because her mom taught her so. Take a look at the previous videos. He often ask/state something like: *Bunny human* then her mom would say *bunny dog animal. Mom human animal*
She's about the age of an older teen, so yes, a bit bossy as she grows into her adult self! She is still a sweet loving thoughtful and thought filled dog!
I’m still amazed by what they know and how they are able to connect abstract subjects. I say they, cause my animal/dog used to do the same thing but without the buttons.(he understood the concept of time and directions.. if I said f.e. You get a treat at 8pm he would walk up to me at 8… if I said go find something to play with he searched for his stuffed bunny. If I said to the left he searched left)…unfortunately he died this October the 18th.. I’m miss him… your videos animal/dog/bunny make me realize how lucky we are (have been)
My poodle also knows time because I put her food down at 5 pm. She comes and barks at me when it’s 5 pm and won’t stop until I put her food down. At 6 pm she gets her treat. Naturally at 6 pm she comes and barks at me and won’t stop until I get her treat. These are only 2 examples of her concept of time. I often ask her “how do you know what time it is?
Fun fact: I don't remember which chimpanzee it was, but at least one of the famous studies chimpanzees used to try to get their caretakers to feed them by changing the hands on the clock to meal time. 😂
This reminds me of how Koko the Gorilla taught sign language to a younger gorilla, who then went on to have far greater vocabulary than she did! Imagine if this form of communication was passed on from one dog to the next until all dogs could 'speak'!
She could probably smell the chicken alive and smell it cooked and know it’s a “bird” that went in her “belly” when she ate it. I love Bunny because she is constantly proving that dogs are so much smarter than we give them credit for! 💗
LOL, ‘come on mum, the sooner we go upstairs and sleep the sooner we go park tomorrow!!’ 🤣 Still sounds like she misses the other cat 🥲 I love this girl 🥰
I just love Bunny to tears! She probably doesn’t know that most dogs don’t talk. What would happen if you had. Bunch of dogs get together for play dates, with about half of them button-talkers and the rest not? And have buttons available. Would they form two subcultures? Would the talkers talk to each other when no one is there? Would they teach the others how to use buttons?
Omg! Is Bunny thinking that if you go to bed and sleep now, it'll be morning/daytime when you get up and she can go to the park??!! That beautiful girl is SO SMART!!💖💖💖😘😘😘👏👏👏👏👏
Good & small for Otter & Belly bird belly dog with the lip licking is an absolute classic lol. Both should be T-shirt slogans! Bunny is just so adorable
It makes so much sense that the smell of bird is something a dog would know expansively rather than just what we see and hear outside. That she would recognize the smell of the dead chicken before and during its cooking and then in her consumption of it makes so much sense. The degree to which they are still so animal, despite all our breeding and domestication is amazing. it makes sense that they have no concept of meat. That is a human concept and generalization. Their amazing world of smell makes all creatures they consume specific.
I think she wants to go to your old house. We built a house and stayed in a trailer when the dogs were puppies. Now they always want to go into the trailer. Lol.
"bird belly" "belly bird" "belly dog" - I think there are a couple of take-aways from this: 1) Bunny seems to like chicken and seems to have at least a vague concept of where it goes after she eats it; 2) she might have heard Alexis or Johnny either say "nummy to the tummy" or "get in my belly"; and 3) there's likely to be more "bird belly" styled phrases from Bunny on and shortly after Thanksgiving. ^_^
And also, remember that dogs can feel full like we can! That full feeling comes from our bellies. We've always known that food goes to the belly, even before we understood what the stomach was.
Two things- Bunny is working through a lot of concerns about Otter. His behavior confuses her a lot, because he's young, MALE and doesn't think like Bunny does. She said he was 'good and small' as a way of saying...he's just young. She's reassuring herself he's not a bad apple, just still growing up. I think she might want some reassurance from you that he will mature. Maybe I'd say it's okay too if Otter behaves differently, since they're both unique (like you and Dad are family but not the same). Second, I believe she was asking about Uni, your cat she had accepted as family and then went missing. Bunny does not want the new stranger cat to become family because then it will hurt if she goes missing like Uni. This happened with my cat, Ginger. She bonded deeply with a foster cat we had for many months. Ginger was devastated when I found her a home. Months later we adopted another cat, just because Ginger was so lonely without her kitty friend. Our second cat, Juneau, was the friendliest cat, but Ginger refused to bond with her. She was too sad still from losing her foster kitty friend. Just like with kids, a sudden loss of family member makes them feel they themselves could suddenly lose their place as family. I think Bunny is still struggling with the one two punch of losing Uni and then Otter arriving, and so 'family' may not feel like a very stable concept right now.
I wonder if her pressing that Uni button at the end of her rant to wake you up was intentional? Like maybe Uni was who Bunny would spend time with when you were busy/asleep/out?
Bunny just continues to amaze !🤗 …. And You too, for using this amazing method of communication. I never dreamed that communicating with our pets would be possible and, yet, now it seems so obvious! Whoever dreamed up this system should be very proud of themselves 👍🤗
Bunny is the most amazing RUclips star. Love Bunny 💕💕. So cute that you and Otter are on the couch and Bunny is wanting to play/talk. Love that she recognizes that she ate a bird and it’s in her belly 🤣🤣🤣
You know, as a non native speaker, watching your videos make me: 1- feel superman in english language & 2- regress to such a level that when going back to "normal" videos, I can(t get anything out of them, so I qhickly come back to your video . . .

I tend to stay up late and my dogs (even others dogs I cared for) especially mature ones have always told me enough, time for bed. No buttons, but that hasn’t stopped them. Only puppies and very old dogs seem to be able to settle in for a long nights sleep knowing someone’s up and about. You wan’t a dogs devotion you need to be structured and stick reasonably to set routines. Like children they strive on it. The bird belly bit was interesting. Do you ever call chicken ”bird” with her? Bc if she thought ”bird” was ”chicken dinner” she’d surely be catching pigeons on your walks!
@@dipsydoodle7988 Uni has been missing for several months already. (And Spooky had passed away when Bunny was still young.) So, of the 3 cats that lived in the household when Bunny arrived, only Ringo is left at the moment. And Ringo has been a rather independent cat that didn't spend that much time indoors. In the earliest videos (on Insta), Bunny always tried to encourage Spooky and Uni to play with her, but both were not interested. She did come to some sort of understanding with Uni over time, though, and accepted Uni as part of the family (according to her own words). But now Uni is gone and Ringo is obviously not regarded as a beloved family member by Bunny. Bunny has been asking for Uni several times already, but Uni hasn't come back so far.
@@dipsydoodle7988 Yeah. :( Though, I watched the video again and it seems that the "Uni" press was accidental and it was also before Bunny demanded Ringo to go. So she probably didn't ask for Uni in this video. But she did in earlier ones.

Bunny tried to kick the cat out the family and she tried to send you to bed I guess she thinks she's the boss
RIP cat : ]
Or maybe simply she knows she has enough voice to sound an idea :)
Don't they always.
My dog nags me into going to bed regularly… I’ve never had such a regular bedtime!
My dog grumbles if I stay up too late with the light on. I really want to start him using buttons. He would have a lot to say!
“Bird belly” is an amazing concept. She realizes that eating chicken means she has bird in her belly.
exactly my thoughts! she's really impressive
Is your house chilly ? Why do you always wear a knit cap ?
@@suziebattista6394 She lives in the Pacific Northwest, like me. It is chilly ALWAYS and EVERYWHERE. Even indoors.
Is it bad that I think this is adorable, and just a little bit terrifying? 😅
I'm imagining she can probably tell by the smell, which is just amazing!
Of all the animals I see using buttons, Bunny is by far the most advanced.
Russell the cat is getting pretty close!!! He can use and understands ‘help’ for novel problems (one’s without a button that is)
Yes. Bunny is a doggie genius! And reincarnation is real. Einstein is now a Sheepadoodle!
@@Somedude20282 Russell and Billi are not far behind, but I don't think they can catch Bunny.
And yet, still useless
Really? I'm not sure hes doing anything but pressing random buttons because it makes mom happy. She needs to do a lot of translating.
Otter is truly good and small.
Not for long!
Maybe she can tell by smell that chicken is a bird even if it's already dead...? That ability to generalize (that thing in the sky is a bird, and that thing in the oven is also a bird) is really incredible if that's actually what's happening.

They say dogs have an incredible sense of smell but that would just be amazing! it does make sense.
If
The sense smell is a powerful connection. It's why dogs on farms don't get fed mutton/lamb. Because they will get a taste for sheep.

@@Brooke_Corbyn thanks

well she taught to ask nicely she always said please in this session :D
She's about the age of an older teen, so yes, a bit bossy as she grows into her adult self! She is still a sweet loving thoughtful and thought filled dog!
What was manipulative? I didn't see it that way.
"Home and park and home" = "Can't we just live in the park?"

@@spacecat3198 Sophia, don't read this.
The cat disappeared. They moved to the new house nearby and never found it.
Interacting with Otter through the buttons wowww 👏

It made me laugh when Bunny used her buttons to tell mom that she wanted the cat to go. 😂
Incredible how she understands so much!! It really opens your eyes just how smart animals are.,
Good & small for Otter & Belly bird belly dog with the lip licking is an absolute classic lol. Both should be T-shirt slogans! Bunny is just so adorable
“I want uni not this stranger cat” - bunny probably
Belly bird. This is getting almost scary. She's so intelligent. 🐔 🍗🥣🧠
giving her "and" is ambitious. Its so grammatical in nature, very abstract
I feel like Bunny is wearing a black jumpsuit from behind and Idk why it makes me giggle all the time 😆😆😆
If park is morning, then upstairs settle means park is soon! She's genius!
Bunny's so smart!!!! I can't stop binging videos to see what other creative sentences she can make!
I going to have to fight urge to say Bird Belly next time I eat chicken. Its one of those phrases that stays with you
I love the little snow boots you had the groomer give her!
She’s still connecting the word dots. Love her‼️♥️
Bunny is an angel on earth and must be protected at all costs!
Hurry & go to sleep so tomorrow comes sooner to play. Love Bunny!
That's it. I'm getting this for my next puppy. This is incredible.
You add the please button just to officially melt our hearts. Why??! 💓💓💓🥰🥰🥰

Thank you Bunnies mom Linda for sharing with so many of us.♥️♥️♥️
I think she wants to go to your old house. We built a house and stayed in a trailer when the dogs were puppies. Now they always want to go into the trailer. Lol.
they probably had more freedom there, to do as they pleased.. but dunno.
For what it's worth, I think Bunny is fishing for examples of how to use "and." :)
she's is so incredibly smart. The chicken dinner thing blew me away! These buttons amaze me.
Much better. More than a minute 🥰
She is just stitching together multiple short videos from Instagram. The short ones are called Stories. Many creators are now doing them
Bunny videos always make me smile. It’s amazing to see her evolution.

Does bunny have a new hair cut? The top part is extra fluffy, I like it
I believe these are mostly old videos. She had that weird haircut last summer.
That’s incredible!!! Wow😳
Bunny’s haircut 💖
She probably knows it’s a bird just by smell, a dogs smell should not be underestimated, look at tracking dogs or bloodhounds or cadaver dogs.
