Alex and Zoey - African Grey and Umbrella Cockatoo 2

[LeeDanielSchofield]

So about this Cockatoo, then?

[UnIngerPierdut]

how did u teach him to stay there and not 2 fly around the room like he`s tryin to escape the house? :))

[arkalai]

0:39 what's that? A tap dripping?

[obfg2]

That bird whistles pretty good, what with having no lips and all...

[DeadlyChinchilla]

They also have no voice-box. Its forced air-sounds.

[AmazingJoeJoe]

Beautiful!

[stewartandjames]

i too have an african grey :barney: he sings nursery ryhmes and talks very well he is eight yrs old but he isnt hand tame ive only had himtwo weeks but he has never been hand tame is ti possible he could be inthe future?

[Scitech101]

As a mourner of Dr. Pepperberg's Alex the counting, talking bird, I am offended that you have dared to name your lowly bird after the deceased legend. The real Alex would have told this bird "Talk better!" or "You turkey!" (actual alex quotes.)

[Scitech101]

I apologize for my earlier comment. I realized that you named the bird in HONOR of the legend.

[MINImusPrime00]

Haha what on earth? Of course she named him in honor of Alex. But yeah, Alex would tell him to talk better lol.

[DeadlyChinchilla]

Either way, homage or otherwise, what business of yours is it what and why she names her bird Alex? Maybe its a favorite name, a family name, or just a good name? Alex wasn't the first to have it, after all. How absurd.

[Scitech101]

..........My feelings are hurt.

[Tcjunior18]

1:29 is he saying " wants some chips"? lol so awesome sound different than a parrot in there vocals.

[Assashimaru]

Alex had a human soul that was scentenced to reside in this bird because of his previous life.

[zubery]

It's funny how their voices all sound similar. Even the water droplet sound effect.

[mabacdabatmaban]

thats strange

this should be titled

african grey and the windchime

or the guy hammering

cause there isnt an umbrella cockatoo.

[Irishdude000]

That`s strange,my one has just recently begun to make that very same clicking sound,and I could never figure where he picked it up from!

[mmdlx]

lmaoo ken how stupid am I . :L

[pimpdaddysteveo1]

Iv never saw a parrot talking french

[mmdlx]

he is exactly like mines

[davyace]

of course he is exactly like yours, they are all look the same LOL.

[92benno92]

@davyace

Oh that's so racist.

[ddkdit]

play more music for and to animals... then, let them play along and make music back - classical music, string and wind instruments, harmonies and chords etc. we like good music. why wouldn't they like it, and more of it? plus, how do they respond to positive t.v. programs of themselves?

[PearlJammer07]

Lol. That is one funny ass bird. It just wants some attention. Pretty amazing that these things can talk. I haven't seen one of these birds up close for a while.

[YuTuBe207]

lol am gettin mine in 2 weeks

[spootynuget]

[CBcinderella]

[Nikki415017]

[giantfoottruck]

[KinkyBear666MCR666YT]

[Drones24]

[jellystonepig]

[jangoparrot]

@freespeechplease :OMG you must be blond to ask a question like this,you really can't be serious,do you have pet's at home? you are not thinking about to cook your dog either,don't you?i'm really shocked that someone can really ask a stupid question like this and might be serious about this

[freespeechplease]

are these parrots eventually harvested for their meat? i dont get why people spend so much time with a bird and then they just eat it. dont they grow attached?

[ShadowAssassin255]

rofl it sounds like at some parts he says, " I want some chips!"

[jtaugher]

Yup. "Want some chips?" (and Salsa!)

[kannon9]

I loved Alex may he be super happy in the spirit world.

[ThyGoddess]

RIP. Greys are such kickass birds.

[somegirlonthefloor]

buying a budgy is a great beginner bird they can say a couple of words and can become very tame. Of course they arnt expensive they dont need a large cage. I would say get something a bit bigger like maybe an idian ringneck or maybe a little conure but with these you need a bigger cage and are more expensive and need more interaction.

[Unhumaine]

haha nice film ! I loved the way he shaked his head.

 ... Can i also ask for some advice? I want to buy a parrot that is not to much trouble and has the cappability to speak even a bit ... so i was thinking about a budgie can anyone respond to me and tell me if it would be a good idea to buy a budgie and if they talk even at the slightest. thnx.

[greyburd1]

RULE #1..... having a bird that can talk should be the icing on the cake, NOT the reason to visit the bakery!!!

there's so much more to having a parrot companion.

[Tanja060100]

Thanks for posting this tape!It made my day!

[zoeyLOVESjeremy]

haha thats only cool because thats my name zoey :)

[ImaginationBlue]

I created a synth patch with which to serenade my girlfriend's Umbrella Cockatoo. It has resulted in more joy, and love and positive energy in our house! Thank you.

[MPGamer]

Hey, I'm curious, how do your Grey and Cockatoo get along? I know African Greys usually only get along with other greys, but I have heard that there are cases in which some Greys will get along with other birds, such as Amazons.

[jtaugher]

3 months? Give them time, they're not very domesticated yet. I purchased my grey when he was 6 months old and he was well domesticated then. Mine is 11 years old. My cockatoo is 12.

[newkurosawa]

Hi

Your parrot seems very tame.

I bought two african grey babies recently - they are 12-13 weeks old. I was expecting that they would be more tame as they had been hand reared but neither bird will let me touch them without lots of crys and I have had a couple of nips to keep my hands at bay. They absloutely won't let me handle them. Maybe it's just too soon and they need to settle.

Any tips? or is it just perseverence?

It doesn't sound like your babies are healthy, ask detailed information about your bird's diet and the type of hand feeding technique used, make sure the breeder is using a spoon feeding method, or a slow-syringe method. Tube feeding and power feeding can cause problems, and lack of attention as babies can too. Also, are they maintaining their weight on solid food? Babies usually have no objection to being handled.
