We say she has a reading skill of a small child but remember, she a bird learning the language along with technology of another species. That put her intelligence at a much higher level.
Absolutely, we haven’t learnt the language of another species even with our technology, like many species have ours
@@couldbegood actually, we have learned bits and pieces from dolphins, prairie dogs, and whales. Maybe others. But we’ve done that only with the advantage of IT. still, We don’t give enough credit to animals. Also, animals can live their entire lives in the wild without any help at all. 99.99% of people could not do that. Even prepers stockpile food, guns, shelter, ammo, etc. water filters, etc.
How about we see if a small child can learn a parrot’s language and it’s technology?
African Greys are _much_ smarter than cockatoos, but I’ve never seen a grey that was THIS smart.
This bird is blowing my mind.
Also.. Parrots can learn all of this without ANY technology as well. The tablet just helps speed that process up a lot for this bird.
He’s amazing. We have a pink and grey who is into interior decorating, in other words he loves to strip the paint off our walls, chew through power cords and can strip a computer keyboard in 6 seconds. Not quite the same league. But I wouldn’t swap him for the world.
Cockatoos are extremely intelligent (and silly!). My Citron-Crested Cockatoo Tazzie loves to play catch with his Yorkie sister Zoe. They both insist on sitting on my lap when I am on the computer so they can see what is happening on the screen. Any time Tazzie sees a bird he is riveted to the screen...and has to look BEHIND it! Both of them love to watch the Minion films. We have some terrific photos! Sadly, we lost our Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo Bill two years ago to old age. He was with my hubby for 43 years! We think he was close to 70 years old. Tazzie is always searching for him and speaking what he learned from Bill, which is gut-wrenching and I have to grab the tissue box. They live a long time, but it is NEVER long enough! Ellie should have many decades to learn every day. She is AWESOME and so is her Mom! ❤
Ha, ha, the Legend of Cockatoo Bill. Bonding with a birb really is somethng special. Tears your heart out when they go.
Yes it is so sad when lose such a very dear friend of any species, very difficult for everyone, but it sounds like you give these beautiful birds the best life, take solace in that kindness it would have been so appreciated. 🥰🏴🇬🇧
Wow I didn't know they lived that long! I'm sorry you lost your bird ❤
That cockatoo is smarter than most of my family.😂
😂😂
EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
Hilarious
LOL
Heehee
I'm even more impressed by the bird's "mama"! She is so dedicated to Ellie. That is a lot of time to spend teaching reading. I homeschooled and taught my five kids to read. This little bird is doing great as a first grader! I'm so impressed and really enjoyed this video!😊
This lovely Cockatoo's nuero plasticity is off the chart ! Ellie's thirst for knowledge is truly unquenchable . What a fine companion to live and learn with.
If a lady could teach a bird to read 📚 Imagine what that bird 🐦 could teach a kid! Motivation is everything.
@@hackman669imagine cockatoos evolve to teach their children words and writing
All cockatoos are smarter than your dog, and that's a fact. Many people do not realize how smart birds are.
it breaks my heart when i see captive parrots who do not have their intellectual or social needs met- they suffer greatly
Next time somebody calls you a bird brain, show them this and smile.😅❤
LOL, the bird has the skills of a 2 year old, so bird brain would still be an insult to anyone over 2.
@@Pausenton- Exactly!
@@Blueness1230 good point. no I dont speak dog and by the way, I also dont speak bird :-) (like the woman in the video doesnt). I am still not fluent in most human languages. so you are implying this bird is smarter than all humans?
@@Blueness1230that is ridiculously dumb logic
That's the cutest high five ever ❤️
There are some well documented studies of wild cockatoo flocks in Australia learning and teaching each other skills. Would be really interesting to see if this very intelligent bird could teach another parrot to do some of these things.
We all probably could learn something from cockatwo.
Imagine like this bird would be able to teach even other species like crows and ravens.
Absolutely mindblowing. This is so relevant to reframe the view humans have on animals and their intelligence and sensitivity. I'm speechless
My neighbor's dog just received a full academic scholarship to Harvard.
That was IMPRESSIVE! Jennifer you would make a great elementary school teacher. I realize you are already gainfully employed. But your creativity and enthusiasm facilitated Ellie's remarkable learning. I wish the teachers my kids had when they were young were nearly that engaging.
It’s easy to be engaging with a 1 to 1 student to teacher ratio. Plus, the bird is a student who is both motivated and engaged. No shade towards your own children. Just an observation.
She is already a great teacher with a great student. All my kids have always had four-legs or feathers. I totally relate to her in every way. You know it in your heart! I have for well over 60 years!❤
I think she be great teacher for mentally disability children. 😊
She was a teacher when she was young. She talks about it on her Instagram account sometimes.
@@OnwardsUpwards410 she has two other cockatoos, a goldfish and some squirrels ;)
Cockatoos can live to be 70. She's going to be writing physics papers by then.
This is really amazing! She’s a clever little lady! 💕
Giving high fives just made my day😅😅
cockatoos, unlike african greys, actually use language to communicate instead of just mimicking sounds like other parrots do. this is why they can use language so incredibly
This is so beautiful.
She looks JUST like a cockatoo my family adopted named Sally. She came to us at an estimated 60 years old and already quite arthritic, so it's actually a little weird watching this video and seeing Ellie move so well!
I knew parrots were insanely smart, but actually reading? That's completely wild. Ellie is probably in the minority of pet parrots who are actually getting enough enrichment. What a good mom!
It is very important to dedicate time to birds as she does. Many people are very surprised when I tell them about the things my parakeet does, but that's because when they have had a parakeet or a lovebird they have hardly paid any attention to them and didn't even take them out of the cage. These birds, family of parrots, are very intelligent and by dedicating time to them they are able to learn many things.
sad to think such intelligent creatures may be stuck in a cage :(
Yes, my bird enjoys being out of the cage playing with me or my mother and they need to fly.
❤ the way she gives high 5 amazing
This is truly astounding. Nothing short of it. If only so much of the rest of the world and other people weren't so ignorant and or cruel to treat other animals like second class species or like shit, and people learned to love them and include them like Ellie is, we could be unstoppable together. Better yet. Imagine the loads of bonds and love that would be created towards a better world.
❤❤
Brilliant! They give you the most unselfish love of all! Every living being is safe on our little ranch. The best part of my day is taking care of them! They have a loving home for life!
💜
I love those high fives. Amazing vid. This is a marriage made in heaven if there ever was one.
Yes - endless possibilities!
What a lucky girl to have so much interaction and learning. She loves it! She might like going to schools to show the children how incredible she is. The kids would love it!
I've been following this lady off and on for years now, and her birds never cease to amaze me. I've watched Ellie work through the sight cards live a few times.
There's a really interesting interview with her on Cult of Consciousness, if anyone is curious about the owner before she got into teaching her parrots to read.
What is the name of her channel? Is she on youtube?
@@TheoRae8289 Would love to see that! Where do I find this interview? What is her name?
@@TheoRae8289would be good to follow up with the info people are asking for so we can watch more
Absolutely amazing! She is so happy and thriving while learning. The time that the woman is providing to her pet is so heartwarming.
This is amazing to watch! It also makes me very sad, to think of the overwhelming majority of cage birds who never get to do anything but sit in their containers, day after day, with nothing to do, sometimes for YEARS. It's a real prison sentence...😥
I agree with the other comments…this is astounding. Both Ellie and Mom! The title doesn’t do it justice. So many things struck me here from the dedication and commitment, to the obvious joy in learning from both sides. What touched me the most is that Ellie is only asking for food a very small amount of the time, most of the time it is for social engagement. That’s a good reminder for how we treat each other and all species. Thank you!!❤
aww thank you :) :)
This is absolutely fascinating. Ellie really enjoys her education and her intelligence level is amazing 👏
Parrots are some of the smartest animals on earth- they’re DEFINITELY smarter than your dog. Especially your labradoodle and golden retriever.
I wish I could be as dedicated as this lovely woman.
Clever birdie. 🥰
They are finding the intelligence of dogs goes farther than we previously thought too. That's awesome
What an incredible story. Ellie is adorable and it’s wonderful that you found each other and both have a thirst to continue to learn from one other.
This is another example of what i thought a lot of years ago, how intelligent animals can be or even are, theyre totally underrated! 100 thumbs up!
Sorry but you can only give 1 thumbs up.
@@ziloj-perezivat I gave 100 and stand for it! :p
Very well. I will document your stance for the RUclipss. @@THX-vp9fz
Only certain animals are intelligent though not all. Birds are incredibly clever and intelligent.
😂 she's certainly one smart, gorgeous girl. Cracking good video thanks for sharing 💖😁
Love this. So smart. I'm so happy to see this.
What I like best is how much you love her and she loves you.
From the little I saw she does a lot of projecting and helping, but the bird is very good at memorizing patterns.
Yes, she is amazing, but I wonder if by seeing a cartoon picture of a brick wall she is associating it with an actual wall, or does she actually understand the concept of tall from another cartoon picture. Still it's surprising what these, and other birds such as crows, can actually grasp.❤
Smartest little birdie😁Good job👏👍
This is just mind blowing! Such a beautiful bird Ellie is! Not until today have I ever seen someone take their intelligence in this direction. I’m just so amazed. It’s fantastic. It must be so rewarding for you both!❤🤗
The video title doesn't even do it justice. This bird can ACTUALLY READ. And write.
Such a smart bird!
She's giving it a 50/50 chance. Use three choices instead. Look how it got Tea and Egg wrong. She is remembering the hits and forgetting the misses.
They are so smart and they need all that stimulation so you have to dedicate so much time to them or they’ll get bored and start hurting themselves. This cockatoo is just beautiful and she will probably outlive you. What an awesome job you are doing. Beautiful research and development. Very wonderful. 😊
SOOOO CUTE!!! ❤️☺️😊❤️
Our Parrot Max has been the the family for about 60 yrs. Gone from one sister to another she passed and my sister got him back. Great bird he talk but I haven't seen him in yrs. Sweet story, Great mommy! ❤❤
This is amazing . . . and I can see that she really enjoy it.
This is just astonishing. I've seen birds do some interesting things, but I'm in awe with her. This is wild! I love it! Thanks for sharing.❤
Awesome. I too have a really smart parrot (a rainbow lorikeet). She (we think she might actually be a he) has a vocabulary over 200 words and conjugates her own sentences - using words in very novel ways when she doesn't have a word for the situation, and asking about food in at least 30 different ways.
Some of the more astounding questions and statements I have heard her ask have been:
"What's a birthday? Can I have a birthday?"
"What's Christmas?"
"I am going to eat some of your big food now."
"Can we get some pizza? I want pizza." (Yes she knows what that is, not that we feed it to her).
"Are you hungry? Do you need to eat?" (She mother birds everyone and makes sure everyone is well fed).
She also knows how to use several pronouns appropriately including: I, my, me, we, we're, you, your, you're, and our. For example, she might say "We're hungry. Can I get some breakfood now?"
One of the first things she said showed her intelligence. We were in the process of crate training our dogs (for when we weren't in the house), and were saying "time to go outside" each time we would open their crate. Opal saw us say "outside" each time we opened the door, and so started saying "Step up. Want outside" when she wanted the cage door open herself.
Other phrases she has novel definitions for (she comes up with her own definition based on her understanding of context) are "Night night" which - to her doesn't appear to mean "goodnight" but rather "I want to be left alone now" or "go away" (could mean either). I can see that context, given that "night night" would usually be the last thing we would say to her in the evening before leaving her alone -and so she associated the phrase with the state of "being alone". Meanwhile, she ALSO says "good night" but only seems to use it when going to bed (and also uses it alongside phrases like "have a good sleep"). So yeah, "night night" and "good night" appear to have different definitions.
Likewise the word "big" seems to be a synonym for "human" as she seems to associate everything that is "big" with us. She calls us "big bird", and asks about "big food" for example.
Recently, she showed that she either truly understands what the word "baby" means, or at least - defines it as a synonym for "small", as one of our cats had kittens, and we introduced her to one of the 3-day old kittens. She took to it fondly and said: "Hi baby cat. Pretty baby bird cat." (I've never heard her ever call any other cat "baby" before, but she does refer to our lovebird as a baby, so perhaps it means "small").
I'd love to see videos of you guys, she sounds so smart!
@@BeingForeverBroken I’ve got a couple videos of her (she tends to be curious of the camera and stops talking if she notices me). But as yet, I haven’t been able to catch her most intelligent conversation. At some point I plan to setup a 8-hour camera on her, and note the time whenever I hear something amazing; but I’m on a fixed income so that’s a cost investment I haven’t been able to make yet.
The few videos I have made are a couple years old, but can be found by searching “Opal and friends” lorikeet
She’s so smart and you’re a fantastic teacher
Just incredible. Thank you
Oh my goodness, amazing 🥸
It’s all about taking the time or having the time to work with your pet. I have a 25-yr old African Senegal, who speaks well for her 2-yr old mentality. I did not have this time, but gave no doubt she could have excelled to this level. How wonderful this is!! 🙏♥️
People afraid of hypothetical lizard people existing while we’re teaching the descendants of dinosaurs how to speak and read and write.
A...MAZ...ING!!! Your patience and Her brain.
👏🏻😃👏🏻😃👏🏻😃👏🏻😃👏🏻😃👏🏻😃👏🏻😃👏🏻😃👏🏻
Amazing companion!
How can this little Bird be so..... smart 🤓😂 unbelievable ❤🎉
You are really great to be able to teach this goofy Bird all day and enjoy it! I love that they are trying to be me but the reality is that they will never have my knowhow to be able to do all the stuff that is necessary to be me! Thank you for all your support and I really appreciate it.
Why would she. You don’t sound very smart or interesting.😅
Wowww... So cool!! 💕😊
AMAZING!
Smarter than someone i know !
Ok, all of that is GREAT - because birds are uber intelligent
BUT
I really love when she gives a high five 🤗🤗
Animals like this bird, those cats and dogs that use the fluentpet buttons, gorillas and the like can learn to communicate with us using our language but we have yet to learn theirs. It says a lot about the capabilities of these animals versus ours.
I agree
That's not necessarily true. Great dog trainers, for example, do speak the dogs language to train them. It's just a different kind of "language," mostly relying on body language and physical cues.
Holding the book or tablet in hand together with her close presence can provide subtle hints to the parrot. He might not really learn the task, but instead learns those social cues. But that's amazing nonetheless!
She's remarkably quiet for a cockatoo 😮 super smart tho! What a good way to keep this incredibly smart animal stimulated and always thinking!
This is amazing. She clearly loves cockatwo.
She's einstein for sure and so humble. 😊😊
Oh boy, bird got a Tiger Mom, all these studying day and night! 🤣🤣🤣
That bird is smarter than my kids!!!
Ellie is such a clever girl!
Cockatoos are incredibly intelligent. Somewhere up to a 4 year old child.
My neighbourhood has a huge flock of these Corellas at the moment. They are all smart and playful.
Ellie has a beautiful spirit . She is such a beautiful sweet cockatoo . It's so heart-warming seeing you teach Ellie , ,and so incredible how she loves to learn. You have such a wonderful loving bond. Thank you for sharing Ellie with us. She is adorable ❤ and it so special how you spend your time together. From Australia 🇦🇺
Adorable! It doesn't seem strange to me, I have a parakeet and it is extremely intelligent for a small animal. The way he behaves many times when we talk, he understands a lot of what we say.
wonderful interaction with feathered friend 🦜
THE HIGH FIVEEE 😭😭😭😭😭💖💖💖💖💖💖🫶🫶🫶🫶
Fascinating.
Amazing.
This is so cool 😍👏🏾💖👏🏾💖👏🏾💖👏🏾💖👏🏾💖👏🏾💖
What an amazing duo! Nothing short of mind-blowing. ❤
obvious 'clever hans' error. Nice cockatoo.
The high 5- adorable
They are very bright, and clearly you have the time and love to spend with this cutie. Unless you can spend a copious amount of time with them you should not consider them as a pet. Cockatoos are at the top of the list for homeless birds, and they have been known to literally die when given up.
What a smart and cute bird!!!
People just don’t realize just how smart parrots are.
What an angel!
Ellie is amazing.I would never have thought of teaching a bird how to read or use a tablet.
Precious!!!
That is amazing!! She is very smart!!❤
"Mad." That bird would be quite the companion for a certain cat named Billy...
What a lovely woman.
What a cute bird!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I love birds😁😁😁😁😍😍😍
To put this "probably smarter than your dog" in perspective, military working dogs (which will obviously be selected from the smarter breeds) have been estimated to have IQs of 70 or so using species-adjusted tests. This is smarter than many folk who work and vote etc. The parrot family, covids and some cephalapods (octopi etc) are at least as intelligent as working dogs (but like humans possibly lose out when it comes to work ethic 😀).
Just adorable! ❤
Wait, she can interface with a machine and express her desires? Madness!
What an amazing woman allowing her feathered creature to become all she can be. Ellie is amazing…Cockatoos are smart in the wild but Ellie’s human has been able to direct her intelligence so Ellie can have fun and not become bored.
I really like the shot where Ellie was coloring by herself 💗
I've been impressed with several communicating animals. I watch a lot of Billispeaks which uses buttons to "speak". Being able to use a tablet though and read is even more impressive. I don't think I've ever seen an animal that can read, with the possible exception of some chimps (they typically used a board of buttons, often with pictures with the text). This is very cool, thanks for sharing!
The word buttons, like some people have for their dog's. You can see the happiness & enjoyment for getting it right.
Аылдуу куш 👍😄
Wow ! Absolutely amazing! I knew they were intelligent, but this is at an entirely different level ! God bless you both. ❤
You can tell how smart a Cockatoo is by how chonky they are. The chonkiest got the most treats so they must know physics and math and trigonometry
