You are so kind. I am too old to get a bird and be around long, but oh, how I would love one. Thank you for your videos, and if I had a bird I would follow your training ways.

[@DiverseKitty]

Maybe you could get an older bird from a shelter? :) Just an idea.

[@karenfrazer2284]

Oh, how I wish. I live in an apartment and can't have even a fish. Awful, huh? I enjoy these videos more than I can tell you, and my life is much better since finding the birds and puppies, and kittens. Bless ya! Karen

[@infinitecanadian]

You might have a bird sanctuary in your city that you can visit on a regular basis. Check around and see.

[@karenfrazer2284]

This is a very small town...but maybe within reach. I'll check...and thank you!

[@infinitecanadian]

Karen Frazer If you are near a big city you might find one. Look for conservatories; in my case, the Bloedel Conservatory is located in Vancouver, and it has dozens of beautiful tropical birds. Since I can't drive, I have to wait until I meet with my dad to go there, but it is still possible.

[@suchandrasiljash2081]

Lol.itz kinda funny..I was watching this video and whenever you were asking your bird to chirp my bird was mimicking your bird xD

[@aliensoup2420]

Since some birds can mimick different voices pretty accurately, I think it would be cool, to teach a bird famous movie quotes by various actors. Like if someone starts petting the bird he could mimick Charlton Heston in Planet of the Apes and say, "Take your stinking paws off me you damn, dirty ape!". Or if you ask the bird if you can pet him, he quotes Clint Eastwood in Dirty Hairy and says, "Go ahead, make my day." Or if someone says to the bird, "you're so funny.", he does Joe Pesci in Good Fellas and says, "Funny how? Funny like a clown, like I'm here to amuse you?". Then when you say goodbye, the bird does Arnold in Terminator2 and replies, "Asta la vista, baby." Ask the bird, "Who are you?", and he replies in a raspy Micheal Keaton voice, "I'm Batman". Or say "Who's Marlon Brando?", and he screams, "Stelllaaa!!". That would make a hilarious act.

when they do start talking. they never shut up

SO TRUEEEEE

[@alaalfa8839]

Most annoying thing about videos of cute animals is...human with average voice constant talking.

[@raisanizamihasin7938]

We have a African grey parrot.....we brought it home 2 weeks ago.....he is 3 years old........generally he is good....but he doesn't like us yet....he can whistle nicely....but doesn't talk......sometimes he becomes angry....how can we tame him and make him love us.......plz help.....i like your videos very much

[@willmckinley8075]

This man is well spoken, most pleasant, and wonderfully instructive. I have a two-and-a-half Congo Gray. I love his videos.

[@daniellefrank007]

just like how I taught my cat to meow and sit up on command. lol. It would be awesome to have a bird.

[@Azreeny3]

Hey, Thanks for the video. My african grey seems to be the most picky bird in the world. It seems he's more interseted in tearing things apart than eating! Could you please tell me what treats you use to train your bird. Thanks again!

[@blocct]

“Even if I said a word like bird” “Bird” *no response*

[@berrissoul1]

before training your Parrot is hungry..?

[@fransleeca23]

I just recently got an african grey bird and her name is sunflower she already knows how to talk the guy we bought her from he taught her. now with her being new to us we want to teach her to say more stuff on command ourselves like teach her how to say her name, say hello, good morning, or say my name which is leeca. according to our voices. where can I buy that clicker from. I just recently stumbled on to your page

[@joshuaitrust805]

Thank you for the verbal training techniques..

[@MrBiggunz28]

I have a grey to that is somewhat clicker trained. (In progress) you did a great job but all these people asking really common sense questions esp about diet, bathing, biting, expenses. Please please do your research before deciding on a grey. Yes they are amazing birds to me but can be one of the most stubborn, loud, picking, expensive, biting, & given up on birds. You should already know the basic questions like the 3 basic important comands, whats toxic bc theres alot that can kill them

[@sjlove2bird]

Agreed 100%, 38 years with parrots, and they ALL learned to talk by my speaking to them as I would to a baby.

[@thomassevilla4452]

How about how to get the bird to answer a simple question like "what's your name?" And it's response: "my name is smokey."

[@thomassevilla4452]

So how did you teach smoked how to do this?

[@ryverwillow]

Very good video!!! This is the best video I've found for teaching birds to talk on cue!! My African Gray loves learning, but his attention Spanish is indeed about 15 minutes long and he's ready for something else!! Thank you and please do more videos, you are great!!!

[@srinaina999]

great video! :) what do u give her as a treat whenever she chirps?? and my parrot is only a week old..so what precautions do i take??and also...how many training sessions can i give him per day?? ... and about the weekly bath...how should the temperature of the water be and should we use soap?? .... iam sorry for loads of questions,but i really like my parrot - buck(temporary name :p) .... :) and i think u r an expert in pet care.....:) ,thank you in advance :)

I DON`T REALLY WANT MY BIRD HAVE TO GET REWARDED EVERYTIME TO MAKE IT TALK.

Bro..Please make your next video for indoor free bird flight Thanks!!

[@sablephoenix5990]

My Chinchilla had a bell in his cage on a suede shoe lace. It was cute; after he'd shake the bell, he'd run to the front of his cage & stand with both paws folding over the other; leaning in anticipation of seeing meI'd reply by going over to hime could see me lay down, soon as I did? ring;ring;so I'd have to get up go see him. When I searched to buy a horse one mare's owners told me she's clicker trained I didn't know whether to feel dumb"for not knowing clicker training" or just being myself, while holding back what I really felt. Anyway, I didn't get that horse but was gifted an Egptian Arabian stallion, sabino(Pattern of white markings,Sabino) double registered. He's with me still, no clicker, we do excersizes to build his confidence. He's a ten point mover & we have ribbons/trophy but aren't much into the shows; but do like them most times & a jump no higher than 3', if it's in the trail course or somewhere, maybe, as I don't believe a horse*should jump much,& very low heigh if so. A horse cannot see the jump as he gets closer; that's why he has to turn his head. So he can see the jump. If that was my bird, I've an african grey ,I'd use a light sounding bell, but probably my cue would be one simple word/sound from me.They are living thinking reasoning, artisians; very intelligent with strong feelings.ALL THE BEST TO YOU:.& Your cute BIRDs xxo---SABLE & Tornado

[@sablephoenix5990]

omg that picture, I found him each time; the last no, I'm sooo sorry; I wish wild animals weren't pets. He looks good, I bet you take him out too;? I'd bring my African Gray shopping, picks out what he wants. NO I didn't have his wings clipped. So called a vet, so that if he did fly off outside? He couldn't go 60 feet, but flutter around 10 feet or so, GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL BIRD oxx...SABLE & Baby; missing African gray

Great informative videos. I’m getting a baby grey in 8 weeks. What do you treat yours with?

2 question..what brand of cam u have and what if the bird is afraid of the clicker?.. i want my greys to talk on comand .nice video

[@MrBiggunz28]

Sorry one more comment in my group of 3. Do as much research as possible as you should know all the basics to end up with the best grey possible bc some try so hard & they are stubborn and still might always be dome what a biter or not hamdable but you can do other tricks. I got a grey that was in 3 homes & hated people but I have tons of experience with birds & I am just begging you to do research. They are my fav bird & I help rehabilitate them. Please learn the basics first by all sources!

[@tanaazdudhat6608]

I am thinking about getting an african grey] i was wondering if you could answer some of my questions? i would really appreciate it!! would 2 people be able to bond with the bird? what do you feed einstein on a daily basis? is there any serious common diseases among these types of birds ( i know all about the hygeine and pots and pans). is it very expensive keeping this bird?

[@aamirshehman7116]

I have a qts, I just got an african grey couple of days back who is just 4 months old. He is perfectly healthy and active. I have hand feed him 2 - 3 times daily and give him organic pellets (always available to him) mixed with nuts along with fruits and vegetables in intervals. The thing that bothers me is that he always keeps eating again and again when he is put in his cage. Is this normal or should I take away his food when I think he has had enough.

[@haileyneel8426]

The bird pooped on cam.

[@mc5gaming521]

wow she talks so cool

[@TheLilman693]

I have a grey and my brother is bonded really well with her and then he left once he graduated high school and she's been really sad and then she went into a mode where she started plucking her feathers and we're trying to get her to bond better but she's also scared to talk around us even though she does what should I do

[@kimberlysims4284]

+TheLilman693 That makes no sense..." she's also scared to talk around us even though she does..." wtf does that even mean? Does the bird talk or not? wth?

This was amazing thanks!

[@SethSchoenfeld]

What is the treat food you give her? We have an African Grey who is new to us. She's 11yo foster bird. We want to train her, but do not want to feed her too much nuts, especially peanuts, which were her fave previously and we do not feed her at all, or cashews, which are also very fatty. Ww tried sunflower seeds in the shel lm, but she hasn't taken a liking to them yet. What do you give her for treats when she does a good job?

[@affanarfeen761]

Hi, i trust you doing great and your parrots also. Simply need your opinion, i have the 9 months congo grey parrot i purchased a week ago back simply need to know when i go close to parrot its begin shouting and if i leave the grey parrot in the cage that i abandon him in the confine he never turned out from the cage by his self or if i leave the parrot top of the cage he never go inside by his self, what's more, when ever i go close to grey parrot he starts shout or when ever i show my hand to him. so please advise me what should i do. Thanks millions.

And she only eats vegetables, some seeds and pellets but no fruits. What other treats are good for training? Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks

[@ivabiganful]

I would take notice of what food my parrot likes the most and take that away from its diet and use for treats when training. Try to do some form of training everyday whilst using the favourite food.

[@sablephoenix5990]

magickseeker anything she likes works; fine a few differnet ones then use it, then change it up later one...like oh in a month or so,but watch out treats are onl for experts, it can harm; praise may work as good as any treat, theyre animas not machines which u know, I dont mean to sound sarcastic, but the lady with the horse and HER CLICKER Oh, did I want to tell her off.
