My son lived in an apartment next to bird owners. When they left for work they left the bird outside where it would squall all day. So I started watching videos and so noticed how incredibly intelligent and so they are. I wish I had known how incredible the are before I became a. Senior. Thanks for sharing them. I appreciate that let people know that there’s more to having a bird than just a cage
4:53 Baby toys are great for large parrots. They are non-toxic, colorful and interactive. You can get them inexpensively at yard sales and thrift stores. Just be sure to wipe them down with 10 parts water to 1 part bleach. They can also watch Sesame Street or children’s channels where they sing children’s songs. Birds are extremely smart and need intellectual stimulation.
Of course Bird picks out the toy SHE likes for herself… ☺️ You can put new stuff on the rings, e.g. long pieces of wood. At lumberyards and such places, you can find leftover pieces of wood in their containers or whereever they put it, just make sure they’re of untreated wood. You can decorate them with food coloring/water if you want colors… 🤗
This was so beautiful. Just found your channel and missing my dusky headed Conure to the moon and back... and his wee parrotlet. They were both rescues/owner surrender. 🌈🦜💕🙏✨⛲ Thank you for rescuing and educating. From my heart.
Y’all are such awesome birdie parents!!! You can tell how much you love them, it’s so endearing to see. I wish I could own a parrot but my age and my health issues makes it impossible. I can’t tell you how much watching your videos brings me joy. I haven’t seen much of Bird, but she’s absolutely adorable…and gorgeous. Do you know if she’s going to be able to talk when she gets older?
Awww thank you Siam for the lovely words, and really wish you could own one too. Glad you can find joy in our videos. Bird species is not know for talking. She can say up up, give kisses, and squawk haha
Hello From Mark In Kentucky. I am so amazed at how well the African Grey parrots speak and with the vocabulary that they can develop. I read somewhere that the African Grey parrots have a vocabulary level of a 5 year old child in which I think that may be a bit low depending upon how much the parrots have been worked with. Also I wanted to mention that I am a subscriber to Einstein’s RUclips channel with Marcia & Jeff from out of Texas. After watching a few of the other channels that features the African Grey parrots, I have noticed certain vocal similarities and traits. It seems as though they all seem to do to bomb drop and the happy whistling. I just wanted to say hello and let both of you know how much that I have enjoyed all of Gizmo’s videos. Thanks & Best Regards.
Hey Mark! Thank you so much for taking the time out to leave such a sweet comment, and thank you so much to the continued support. We are also fans of Einstein, so you have great taste in bird channels :) Yes, it seems that African Greys share a very similar sound effect vocabulary. We notice a ton of greys can do the water sound, bomb whistles, happy whistling, and more. Would be interesting to get a study of the similar sounds greys make. Thank you again Mark! Have a great day, and weekend!
@@gizmothegreybird Speaking of sounds, I read that the growling sounds that you hear sometimes from the African Grey parrots derive from the native habitat where they came from in which was a defensive mechanism to scare away other animals that may harm or even kill them. Several years ago, We had a neighbor that had one of the red multi color macaws that was quite the character, While sitting in his perch on the front porch, This very wacky bird used to whistle at any girls walking up and down the road and for everyone he encountered, he had a different sound for. My black Labrador retriever that I used to have was a “Wascally Wascal” and my younger sister would fuss on him. That silly macaw had my sisters voice down perfectly and I could not stop laughing at him although my sister was not really too impressed. That bird was hilarious. Hope you enjoyed that true life story. Hope all of you have a great weekend as well, Cheers.
Great video! Very informative and helpful for those considering owning a parrot. Lots goes on behind the scenes (especially giggling) 😜 Have a great day!!
I love Gizmo!! I have a Goffin cockatoo and Yellow napped Amazon, and they love to play with toys sometimes. But I always have slowly introduce them. Because they get scared at first. And they also love the cat balls you can get which is what cheaper. But arts and crafts section at dollar tree is a great place to get stuff to make cheap toys!
Ohhh love the dollar tree idea for cheap toy making! We totally get the introduction to new toy thing, Giz gets like that too, luckily this one was tiny 😂! Give your birdies some love from us 🥰
Oh please only ride with Bird in the case. I'm old and I've seen things when cars wreck. Please. Thank you for listening... Love from the old rescue chick who's seen too much.
Aww we most definitely here you. The pet store is not even a mile away, but we totally understand that accidents can happen at anytime. She will be locked in and secured for the future.
I really love you two, thank you for sharing life with Giz,Bird and your adorable little Weiner dog... I live in Nevada, we are in ninety-degree weather right now soon-to-be in the 100s so when I sit inside and need a laugh I always find one of your videos
I had an African grey Timneh and he was abused and I tried to change his diet to no avail the sunflower seeds people give them so bad,I miss Beau,so glad you have Gizmo he is A#1
Thank you two for the videos and time with Gizmo and this sweet conjure, who wanted to pick out that special toy! How cute is this? Lots! Shopping is great for video! Love this. 😇🥰😘🤗🥳💯❤💫You two are a lovely couple! 🥰🥰Toothpicks on the one toy.
I forget that you have 🐦. The see through backpack I'm getting for my cats, a double one. They're Great. Bird is adorable 🐦🦋🖐️🇦🇺. Lmfao. Gizmo just eats the toy that bird chose
I have had mostly budgies, but I adopted an 8 year old Cockateil. He was a biter, when I got him, so not fun to touch. You could lose a finger and he hissed at everyone except me. I rehomed him after a few years when I had my first child so that my baby could keep all of her fingers. But I still think about him 29 years later...He probably spent his whole life in a cage and I don't know what he endured before he was my bird. I miss him, but I just don't think owning a bird of this skill level is for me! 😅
I really enjoyed this video. You two are so funny! And you can really read Gizmo’s mind! I can’t have indoor (exotic) birds, but I feed wild ones in my yard, and even they are an expensive hobby. I often don’t do mixes, but buy separate ingredients to suit the tastes of different species. Peanuts in the shell, though - blue jays go crazy over them. It’s like crack for blue jays.
Well first of all, I LOVE YOU BEAN ♥️ Second, how sweet is little Bird? I'm so glad you guys got her a duplicate toy! She was so into it and I was feeling sad thinking of her having to watch Gizmo playing with it. Very well done, parents! 👍🏻
Awww thank you so much for sweet and kind words Michelle! Bean sends her love back you way! And of course we had to get her one too! She is equally as important and loved as Giz. :)
You might want try coconut shells with the meat still attached. Orange tree and manzanita branches. When had birds, I cut up fruit and vegetables. I’m sure you’ve heard this by all of this by now. Anyway, you show Gizmo unconditional respect, love, security . Something he never had. You rock.
Glad I’m not the only one struggling with medium size bird problems, my alexandrine shreds small toys within seconds 😅 she was given a spiral large toy and it only lasted few days
Thanks! i know its not much but it wouldnt let me post it under the birthday post .Im hurting financially but Ive been following and sharing em and giz for a long while now.Happy birthday EM your amazing!
Awww thank you so much!!! You did not have to give a donation, but we appreciate you so much! Your views, comments, shares help us so much as well and we see you here in the comments a ton supporting us! Thank you again so much!!!
Jajaja definitivamente estos plumis si que me hicieron reir hoy que bién estan cuidados y llenos de amor y cariño que hermosos los plumis que ay en la tienda especializada de aves y todo lo que les podriamos ofrecer a ntros hermosos hijitos emplumados en pro de su bienestar gracias infinitas good day my friends and baby parrots
I have the same problem finding good toys and treats for my pet rabbit. A lot of the time they get lumped in with the Guinea pigs and other rodents.. but the things they offer just aren’t appropriate for a rabbit. (Easily destroyed, not safe to eat, or way too small) So I feel your pain 😫
Awww yes!! These giant manufacturing companies just label products so we as consumers just buy them because we have no other options. I think the pet industry is getting better and more people are complaining which will force change. Hopefully the rabbit and parrot communities can start having better options. :)
Lovely Cute & informative video. Lol poor Giz was like Pssht but ty BIRD. I’d like to see him do that food wheel thing lol was wondering where Bloob’s toy was.. but seen was older.
Work with your sun everyday and be overly excited when they try and mimic you. Conures are not the best talkers but they most certainly can try. You have to work everyday for it. 🥰
I found your account after seeing the GeoBeats video. I think Gizmo is an amazing and highly entertaining bird and I applaud you for rescuing him. My one complaint, though, is that you're supporting Petland, which is an awful store. They are notorious for having puppy mill puppies and I am almost certain that their other animals come from breeding mills, too.
If I weren't so old I'd buy an African grey. It would be great company. But their life span is much more time than I have on earth. It would be traumatizing for the bird to have to break in a new family.
Thank you for understanding a birds commitment and lifespan. The Avian vet said today that parrots on average have 7 different families in their lifetime
I would like to react on the new toy for Gizmo and I hope you might learn something from this....its not a good Toy for parrots because he can easily break it. What you need is PARROT toys. It is thick unbreakable plastic....they have swings and toys in lovely colors....not cheap but strong enough for greys. I have a few for my greys. Hope this is helpfull! Love your video.s and Gizmo.
This may be my ignorance, but wouldn't it be cheaper to buy unsalted sunflower seeds and peanuts and other parrot friendly seeds sold for human consumption in bulk, and then make your own mixture? If you had a dehydrator you could even dry your own fruits you know he likes.
@@gizmothegreybirdWatching Gizmo destroy a few dollars would be interesting but, such a bad idea because of the inks and chemicals in the paper. I know you love him to much let him do it.
8:12 All birds should have a diet mostly of bird-safe fruits and veggies and not as much seed. Unfortunately, many people raise their birds strictly on seed. The other thing that they don’t provide enough of is interaction, stimulation and natural sunlight. And not from the window, either. They need to be able to fly, bathe regularly and dry in a warm area. Birds are prone to respiratory disease and need to stay out of drafts, as well as needing a heater to keep them warm at night. They metabolize their food often but can’t digest it without grit or oyster shell. The other thing that is essential is a calcium block or cuttle fish. They also need routine and security. Birds are prey animals, so they prefer to have others with them, be listening to music or bird sounds and to be covered at night to feel secure. Their beaks and nails need regularly trimming or they can overgrow and prevent them from perching and eating. Birds that do not get the right foods, environment, stimulation and security, they can end up becoming neurotic and pulling their feathers or get very depressed and even get sick and die of heartbreak or loneliness. 😢❤ People have no idea how much care and attention birds need!
i think i actually wasted money on chewing toys because my GCC doesn't even touch it. He's completely disinterested unless it's one of those bird kabobs with the softer wood. the only toys that grab his attention are foraging ones. I'm thinking of donating these other toys to a bird sanctuary or bird adoption center - give them some use for another bird who'd be more eager to play with them.
I thought that food was actually extremely bad for them? And the “fruit/seeds” is even worse bc of all the dye. Our A.V had us get Harrison’s pellet food plus we feed all organic seeds mixed in as well as organic nuts & fresh chop but it’s crazy how 98% of the items sold for birds at pet stores are the very things that kill them.
@@gizmothegreybird your very welcome I love the little toy bird bought for her big brother how thoughtful he didn't seem to think so lol but it was cute
That Petland pet shop you went to, is that in Canada and if so, where in Canada? I ask because we in the USA had Petland Discount pet shops, which were primarily in several northeast states, including my home state(& city) of New York and they went out of business 4 years ago. Just curious.
The parrot is an extremely beautiful and jealous girl. Gizmo is a very picky eater. How it comes that the mold inside the peanuts infect the birds lungs? Does the mold travel to the blood vessels after the peanuts are ingested? Please explain it to me. I'd love to send toys to Gizmo, but I'm unemployed. I'll do it as soon as I can.
When the bird cracks open the peanut the fine particles of mold fly into the air and are breathed in by the bird. This can happen to people too. Not all peanuts have mold.
Aspergillus is the fungus that causes an infection called aspergillosis. This slow growing fungal infection gradually damages tissues in the body over a period of weeks to months, often with little obvious evidence of illness until an organ or system is severely compromised. Aspergillus fungus exists in the environment as microscopic spores that are found everywhere, particularly in soil, moist nesting material, and moldy foods. The spores persist in the environment and are very resistant to disinfection
Jayde is my eldest daughter, and no Kyle and I are not married yet. We have been together for 7 years. We have 4 kids Jayde, Jasmine, Jace, and Jessie.
Keep showing the complete reality of having Birds, and the commitment involved. Yes they are beautiful, and fun…but require so much more.👍🏻
Absolutely!! We want to show that off!! We are making a video this weekend of the cost of making a chop and what goes into it.
That’s why I love other people’s birds. 🤭😉

My grey isn't a big chewer with wood. He'd love a lot of the toys at your store. He's way more into cardboard
Gizmo loves cardboard too but wood is his favourite and he loves tearing up plastic toys
The dedication of our Grey when she chews cardboard or paper is a joy to see!
Giz why are you shouting, I can't with him I just adore him
What an absolutely adorable bird ,Gizmo is. It is very obvious he is enjoying his life with you guys. Birds are the best!
Thanks for taking us with u to the petstore it was awesome letting his sister pick his toy
Aww thanks Doug for coming along with us!! She had so much fun picking him out a toy

What lucky birds!! To have loving family to fawn on them. Where I live, the stores have almost nothing for birds. Giz will destroy the one toy.
try local craft fairs - check what wood folk use and see if they can make something up on lathe etc

They need to be able to fly, bathe regularly and dry in a warm area. Birds are prone to respiratory disease and need to stay out of drafts, as well as needing a heater to keep them warm at night. They metabolize their food often but can’t digest it without grit or oyster shell. The other thing that is essential is a calcium block or cuttle fish. They also need routine and security. Birds are prey animals, so they prefer to have others with them, be listening to music or bird sounds and to be covered at night to feel secure. Their beaks and nails need regularly trimming or they can overgrow and prevent them from perching and eating. Birds that do not get the right foods, environment, stimulation and security, they can end up becoming neurotic and pulling their feathers or get very depressed and even get sick and die of heartbreak or loneliness. 😢❤ People have no idea how much care and attention birds need!
Giz has an Only Fans? OOOOOO! LOL
Lmao!!! He has an only feathers 😂

i think i actually wasted money on chewing toys because my GCC doesn't even touch it. He's completely disinterested unless it's one of those bird kabobs with the softer wood. the only toys that grab his attention are foraging ones. I'm thinking of donating these other toys to a bird sanctuary or bird adoption center - give them some use for another bird who'd be more eager to play with them.
I thought that food was actually extremely bad for them? And the “fruit/seeds” is even worse bc of all the dye. Our A.V had us get Harrison’s pellet food plus we feed all organic seeds mixed in as well as organic nuts & fresh chop but it’s crazy how 98% of the items sold for birds at pet stores are the very things that kill them.
Awww cute video
Aww thank you Tonya 🥰
@@gizmothegreybird your very welcome I love the little toy bird bought for her big brother how thoughtful he didn't seem to think so lol but it was cute
That Petland pet shop you went to, is that in Canada and if so, where in Canada? I ask because we in the USA had Petland Discount pet shops, which were primarily in several northeast states, including my home state(& city) of New York and they went out of business 4 years ago. Just curious.
that is so good
Loved this video‼️
Aww thank you Meg!!
Aw thanks that was a sweet video!
Aww thanks for watching Louise
I love it when Bean cameos! I love wiener dogs!
The parrot is an extremely beautiful and jealous girl.
Gizmo is a very picky eater.
How it comes that the mold inside the peanuts infect the birds lungs?
Does the mold travel to the blood vessels after the peanuts are ingested?
Please explain it to me.
I'd love to send toys to Gizmo, but I'm unemployed.
I'll do it as soon as I can.
When the bird cracks open the peanut the fine particles of mold fly into the air and are breathed in by the bird. This can happen to people too. Not all peanuts have mold.
When you like & share the videos, you help buy toys for him too! 🤗
Aspergillus is the fungus that causes an infection called aspergillosis. This slow growing fungal infection gradually damages tissues in the body over a period of weeks to months, often with little obvious evidence of illness until an organ or system is severely compromised. Aspergillus fungus exists in the environment as microscopic spores that are found everywhere, particularly in soil, moist nesting material, and moldy foods. The spores persist in the environment and are very resistant to disinfection
