Parrot Intelligence - Sequential Problem Solving (video 7/8)

[@anticarrrot]

"Good Smudge. Now go and fetch the jewellery."

[@jacquesjtheripper5922]

Haha yh. Was thinking good thief there

[@yuccatree4298]

Ha ha 🙂💛

[@creepersaur]

Lol

[@BillyMarioMan]

There’s no replys

[@CrypticFreeze]

I like how he shakes his head as if he's listening to you explain the process

[@michaelfixedsys7463]

That’s because he is listening, cockatoos have an extremely good understanding of language. They can form sentences in relation to events. They’re basically feathered toddlers

[@Jungmin_Seo]

LOL

[@FreeKanal]

That was so funny haha :)

[@CutterDriftwood]

How do you know he's not?

[@ernestogasulla7763]

After each solution, I was expecting the parrot to face the camera and explain how it's done.

[@cacatr4495]

Teaching a bird the movements of each step, in sequence, with repetition, results in the bird learning how to produce the outcome, with treat-rewards. I have observed animals in the wild, learning on their own how to problem-solve. A free-range Bovine Steer had wandered into the back side of a local state park ( outside of town, in the desert of southern Arizona). He found a water spigot that had a difficult crank handle, and obviously figured out how to turn it on with his horns. > Driving by, I saw the water running with no one around, so I stopped to turn it off, that water shouldn't be wasted in the desert. As soon as I turned it off and returned to the car, I saw the Bovine come out of the adjacent brush, look at me, look at the faucet, walk over to it, lower his head, and use his horns to (bit by bit) turn the crank handle, turning on the water again. I watched him drink directly from the spigot; he looked back at me, as if to say, " Don't turn this off, I need the water on." I returned to the park entrance, spoke to the Entry Attendant, told what I had witnessed, and the Attendant's response was, " Yes, we know. We don't know where the Free-range Steer came from, but we know he turns the water on, and leaves it on, and that any time anyone turns it off, he turns it on again." The creatures are far more intelligent than we've believed. Not only do they have the ability to learn from teaching, but they can figure things out on their own. If it had been a simple lever, or an old-fashioned hand-pump handle, the Bovine turning the water on wouldn't have surprised me. The crank handle is the most difficult of all faucet/spigot handles. How would a Steer know that turning it in a circle would open the water flow? He couldn't do it quickly, it took repeated turns with his horns to open the spigot, but he gained his water, in a hot, dry climate.

I agree animals understand much more than what we give them credit for. A short story of mine: I took my dog to my friend’s house and my dog wanted to go home. She barked at the gate and I ignored her. She came inside and barked at me and then ran back outside to the door and I ignored her. What she did next baffled me. She went and grabbed my shoe, came to me and threw it at me and barked. Hahaha it was cute and smart. She knew there was a language barrier and she was thinking how to explain it to me. She knew I wore shoes before going out and thought that’s the way to explain it! Now, imagine yourself, to be a human who can’t speak. You will have a hard time thinking of this method!! I’m sure I would!

[@mateosmind751]

That's a great story! I am fascinated by animal intelligence. We tend to think of ourselves as superior , but we aren't.

[@brambleknight7217]

That’s an incredible account that I won’t soon forget.

[@thelob5429]

Ok

[@Nate-xq4eh]

Y so long

[@kimfranke8174]

I love how respectful and gentle you talk with the bird❤️ My respect ✊🏼

[@44zp49]

1:15 The guy: * Make his lock ready * The Cockatoo: I'M WaTChInG YOu

[@Ola_Uteligger]

Don't let it get too smart, it will get cocky.

[@todabsolute]

?

[@amquasi1907]

Ayyyy

[@CutterDriftwood]

Yeah just look at crows.....total assholes!

[@hessaa1712]

Drink from cup this bird is being trained really well

[@happyending9547]

Bird like : yes yes that's right 😂🤣😂🤣

[@TheLordSheogorath]

I fell in love with these lovely birds. I have two parakeets, and the girl is so gentle with me, always kisses my finger, and learned to come to my arm by herself, as soon as I start calling her. Both birds learned that if they have issues going back to their cage, they can rely on me to pick them up and move them in, and they come and ask for help sometimes. Chatty and loving animals. You can not be sad when you hear them chirp, they greet every day with equal enthusiasm. I truly admire them. It seems like some creatures were pure gift from God to make us feel better. ♥

[@Carl-LaFong1618]

So when my old man would call me a bird brain he was actually complimenting me.

[@terrygingell7253]

How the hell does a parrot recognize and understand a screw thread? Holy crap! Give him a set of wrenches and your car will be a pile of parts in the driveway. Amazing!

[@frogfoot_]

I love how while explaining how the puzzle works, Smudge sits on his shoulder, nodding along.🤣😂😂🤣

[@gustavgnoettgen]

"This is the lockpicking cockatoo, and today I have something special for you. It's a customer assembled combination of classic door locking mechanisms. However: the correct order to open it's components is mandatory for successfully open that door CAW! Let me show you how I work myself into this concoction."

[@abrachammitchell7856]

This is the bird who escaped from Alcatraz

[@younghex9577]

This dude is training his bird to break him out of prison

[@rickjanosky6191]

I think my favorite part was the parrot drinking the beverage

[@mmmmmmmmmmm10]

Bird's smarter than some people.

[@smurftums]

And now the cockatoo has to be welded inside it's cage of a nightime...

[@fancygif4646]

Imagine a parrot breaking into your house.

[@skullsaintdead]

Wow. Amazing birds. Cute little guy too.

[@JD-oc5wk]

That parrot really has a big brain

[@victoriakulchytska8660]

It’s all fun and games till one day he gets bored, unlocks the door and lets the burglars in 😂 🚪 🏃🏻💨

[@grumpyg9350]

I just today, went to the kitchen and found our blue gold had gone through all the draws and cabinet, throwing things on the flow as she went. After seeing this video, I now think we are in trouble. Lol👍👍👍😷🙏

[@JOELwindows7]

Birb clever This is your daily dose of Recommendation Lockpick Lawyer birb

[@bjcantrell1990]

Great. Just great. My bird watched this video, and now it's broken into my safe and made off with my life savings.

[@Sillyboy9572]

You'll need a pad lock to keep him inside haha

[@DBuilder1977]

Wow, he's better than I am at door unlocking ahahhaa... Wonderful parrot, wonderful video.

[@rx58000]

1:00 but you told him the sequence....

[@amf8648]

Another rewared for him is definitely sounds the puzzle makes!

[@Fanaz10]

Imagine running GTAO heists with this guy.

[@thesnuggler9606]

Parrot training goals.

[@hostyle.]

When he put the right key in the keyhole I screamed

[@billmoran3219]

Sure I could teach a dog this and I wouldn’t even have to waste a shot on him!

[@s0ftnt510]

That bird is smarter than me.

[@gobahgaber6909]

that bird might rule the world some day

[@russellberamina4025]

Can i use parrot to lock pick the bank's safe?

[@vsvnrg3263]

this bird was trained stage by stage. we had sulfur crested cockatoos who worked out how to remove the split ring that locked the cage door. then they just decided it was easier to just bend and destroy the split ring. so we used stronger split rings. fail. so we used a bicycle combination lock. within weeks they had worked how to undo it and do it faster and faster. i'm talking seconds. we ended up having to use wire so thick that we needed to use pliers to open the cage every day. then they worked out they could cut the cage wire with their beaks. we came home from school to see them working their way up the front of the cage. then they discovered they could chew through the timber on the back and sides of the cage. to get to the point, a sulfur crested cockatoo could open a bank safe as long as it knew there as something inside for it.

[@SnowyWolfflake]

Many robbers recommend it. Personally, I think it’s a very good way to pick locks

[@bentaylor3986]

how many times has this parrot seen this puzzle?

[@iamf6641]

humdreds but less than 300

[@__1201]

Many times. While still impressive with the memorization, the bird isn't exactly solving the puzzle. The bird's owner most likely taught him how to do each task to open the door and the bird eventually memorized it and can repeat it when asked. Not trying to downplay it's impressive nature, but the parrot memorized what the owner taught him and it wasn't solved solely by the parot.

[@pixel_clockzzz2758]

Great now I know parrots are after me too

[@mrnobody339]

Who knows a human that this would take an hour or more to figure out 😂

[@en1909s9iah]

awww how precious

[@sylviaelse5086]

Our Australian sulphur crested variants would just chew through the door.

[@vsvnrg3263]

yes. speaking from the authority of personal experience.

[@nordic5490]

Our Ozzie Cockies would be explaining to tbe human hkw it is done, then chew through tbe door.

[@kahotamph]

now burglars can fly a bird into a house with windows opened and get them to unlock the door from the inside.

[@НелиелОксингейл]

The smartness or well-prepared trick? I would bet on the second.

[@bonk3572]

Lock picking lawer: here we have a parrot…

[@manueltorres661]

Plot twist the owner trained the parrot.

[@miguelleis1607]

Why doesn’t the bird just go around the door?

[@jaybird57]

Of course he can do it, he's watching you the whole time.. hahahha

[@deorangeboy374]

When he is telling you about the first puzzle the bird is nodding on his shoulder

[@matttafakt]

The Umbrellas are by far the smartest among the cockatoo's

[@Nawaf-]

matttafakt That is racist lol

[@vsvnrg3263]

i disagree. sulfur crested cockies are the smartest birds in the world, from my own personal experience.

[@zee2826]

the goffins are

[@drfill9210]

African Grey parrot is the smartest, followed by several cockatoo varieties of which the umbrella is one

[@johndelilo6038]

The bird has been taught the approach.

[@RudeMcNasty]

Teach him to use a handgun so he can get all the treats he wants, RIGHT NOW!

[@technojunkie213]

God made parrots very smart and cute. My parakeet is such a sweetie.

[@A_very_good_cheese]

Soo it can actualy lock a door not letting other bird come to his room

[@alitsuteja3126]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@bluegizmo1983]

Damn bird! I don't like birds that are smarter than me! LOL

[@samcf7690]

One thing i always ask my self when i watch this video is weather or not that parrot had been trained to solve the problems and affter it mastered it they simply just release the footage. I ask my self if a wild parrot of the same kind randomly came by and wanted to get the treat on the other side of the door would it figure this out on its own?

[@graysonwilliams4826]

PLEASE DONT TAKE YOUR PARROTS OUTSIDE WITHOUT A HARNESS OR IN A CARRIER. Even a clipped or very loyal, well trained bird can get frightened and fly away. It breaks my heart to think of these sweet creatures being lost and scared out in the wilderness. Please be responsible with your parrots!!!!

[@davidb2885]

I wondered when u'd help him with the drink in his mouth and then 😮

[@territorycrocboss6404]

Lovely

[@christopherreynolds4506]

Fascinating

[@rayoflight9709]

Not a parrot please, a cockatoo is what they are called and I'm very proud that they are an Australian bird.

[@jBurn801]

Great work. Thank you

[@Chienssavants]

Thank you too!

[@pamelalavayen6452]

Fantástico!!!💕💕😘😘😘😘

[@SouthDenverDave]

Wow that was awesome!!

[@alexfaustino4852]

Eu vi um negra australiana batendo em toco de uma arvore na natureza tentando se comunicar com um galho em sua mão. Elas não têm a capacidade de se comunicar como o Amazonas Aestiva. Mas adquiriram outros talentos industriais. Aqui no nordeste também temos aves pescadoras.Macacos que também usam pedras para quebrar o coco etc... Será que a capacidade industrial está separada da nossa capacidade de comunicação? Creio que são dois talentos separados.

[@alexfaustino4852]

Parabéns!

[@vision-of-dog]

The security lock is on the wrong side of the door.

[@38911bytefree]

WOW.

[@steffenrosmus1864]

Much more intelligent than: 1. students of today 2. voters of populists 3. religious fundamentalists no matter what religion

[@Bibibosh]

I bet that bird's annual salary...... Someone can finish that ^^^

[@CutterDriftwood]

Let's get down to brass tax, how much for the bird?

[@tonioreyes]

bye Ocean's Eleven, hello Cockatoo one

[@itsdalu3416]

How do you even do this?

[@itsdalu3416]

When u realize a parrot is smarter than u b like

[@Rick9482]

No way can a bird figure that door out. I think you have the instructions written on cue cards next to the camera.

[@theflowerhead]

Love it.

[@watchgoose]

he's done this before.

[@Dinguscat15]

?.? idk y u heart every comment

[@akimboletsgo5424]

Maybe I'll stop by the pet shop before I break into my ex-girlfriends place.

[@teetee9750]

very good ^ ^

[@Chienssavants]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@fishfordutyffd5515]

That was preety scares tho

[@jasminastojilovic1663]

Fantasticno!!!

[@jaberaljalahmah2061]

👌👌👌👌👌👌😊

[@asiastreets4032]

We don't know how animals see the world, we have no clue at all.

[@hant63]

This wasnt its 1st contaxt to a puzzle i can tell

[@foxeskeeper3817]

God damn.... Why is my bird stupid like me!

[@lokihoffman1474]

Wonderful

[@MrBillblake123]

Very cool!

[@mathewhatch9682]

I'd like you to try and do that with your average 2 year old humen child, even with teaching and repetition, won't happen, birds of the kind are so smart, social and a gift to this Earth, there are so many mamals and insects , reptiles and more , but birds are so smart and are so supposed to be with there own, people shouldn't own these guys and gals unless they plan on being very involved in there life, these smart birds will break down so fast with out affection, rip there own feathers out , self mutilate , all because they just want love, so before you go to a horrible pet shop and buy one, make sure you have the time and love to care for them, other wise why break thier heart?????????

[@vsvnrg3263]

and some species live longer than humans. and some are so noisy all the neighbours hate you. think very carefully. a cocky is not just for your life, but it could be for your children's children.

[@happygimp0]

Don't buy animals. We need to stop breeding animals which are not at risk for extinction. Also, do not buy meat or dairy, since we torture and kill animals for it.

[@lokihoffman1474]

Bravo !

[@mar8014]

cool

[@levylipajr.8465]

That bird was inteligent than me L.O.L.

[@cannon0457]

Thats easy. Even i could do that.

[@peterfitzpatrick7032]

Anyone else hear the Mission Impossible music... 🙄😂

[@abbiesheridan3055]

wowwwwwww

[@ChristheDunce]

Dumb bird, could have gone around the door for a treat... 👆🏽sarcasm

[@voltznake9248]

That bird i stupid, it can just go around the door smh

[@user-xp9jo2rv3q]

What a stupid parrot It could’ve just went around the door.

[@MattMajcan]

it's not really solving any problem, it's just doing what you've taught it to do

[@hamper22]

When he first gave the bird the puzzle it would of had to work it out. I buy my parrot puzzles and he works them out on his own.

[@vsvnrg3263]

@@hamper22 , this man taught this cocky bit by bit. had the man given the cocky a strong desire to need to open all locks in a particular sequence without any step by step training, it probably would have. sulfur crested cockies would have learnt the tricks faster than any other species of bird on this earth. i'm in australia where they are native. other countries need to make sure they never get established in the wild. these things know how to open rubbish bins that have had bricks placed on the lids.

[@only2choicesavailable816]

You're just jealous because the parrot is brighter than you.

[@Chienssavants]

Intelligence is when you are able to understand and to learn. If Einstein had never learned arithmetic he couldn't even have calculated the square root of 25! I'm the owner of this cockatoo (Smudge). Thanks for comment. Maybe you are interested to visit my website: www.ParrotShow.biz

[@avrilcrisp5725]

This parrot is totally stupid. My parrot is definitely far more intelligent than this, she would have not wasted her time messing with locks and walked round the outside to the other side of the door. Offer her that itty bitty treat and she would give you her disdainful look and push your hand away, silently saying You want the treat, you do the trick.

[@andresouza2314]

I not impressed. I can do this in almost same time.
