  • I uploaded other videos of this lunatic, but people didn't watch them. He's starting to get a bare patch on the area of his belly where I squeeze him the most.

  • Love this african grey!! Mt husbands name is marvin it had him laughing to death!!!

  • I can't believe the stupidity of these people leaving negative comments that you're being mean to Marv by telling him to shut up and things like that. People don't realize that no matter what you say, or how you say it, you are entertaining him. Yes, that's right, you could be entertaining your own bird instead of it entertaining you.

  • Your bird is awesome. He is like a pissed off person.

  • If you ignore things he says, he won't continue to say them. His goal is to get attention positive or negative. He doesn't care. Telling him to shut up only reinforces him to do it.

  • are you watching the talking cat video?

    I think I heard, "why I eyes ya!" in the background lol

  • is this a Cockatoo ?

  • @DawnCraig37 ...No.

    That's an African Grey

  • @KoruKinshi well its a cute bird

  • Come on back and give us more Marv!

  • I don't think you are being mean. It is obvious that you are just being silly. The bird is not capable of understanding what you are saying as something mean, they understand your approach and your tone, the words themselves don't matter. It's quite clear that your bird is taken care of, looks like he don't even feather pluck. I have an african grey too, they make such great friends.

  • 3:15 XD the best

  • "You want some bird toy?"

    "I'm a primate."

    Or at least that's what I thought I heard. Hilarious. XD

  • I think it's stupid when people come on here moaning at parrot owners for things they say to them. I have an African Grey of my own so I understand what it's like to have one of these birds. You can tell that Marv is very well looked after and at least someone is talking to him to give him intellectual stimulation...which is what parrots need. I say to these people who moan, if you think you can do better, go buy a bird and see how well you can handle it! Great video!

  • lmfao, wow this bird is a riot...i loved the burp he belted out, and him yelling at you to shut up was priceless

  • Talking smack to an animal is abuse?

    Brb turning myself in.

  • Lol well i'm not sure why everyone would be so upset? At least the dude gives him attention. The bird isn't picking it's feathers out or anything and it appears to have a nice cage. Plus the bird doesn't give a crap if the guy is saying nice things... they can understand minimal things but i'm pretty sure the bird doesn't take offense lol.

  • Why are people giving you shit...this guy's having a grand old time. Geez...finally someone on youtube w/ a decent sense of humor and he get's shit all over for being cheeky to HIS grey that he paid good money for.

  • This is priceless!!! He's such a sassy birdy!!!

  • Marvin! MARVIN!"

    "Yeah?!"

    "SHUT UP!" lol I think that bird was lookin for a fight. lol

  • We LOVE your videos. Not offensive at all. Sounds like two best friends talking. Your critics should stop thinking before they have a panic attack! Hope to see more videos. We also have a grey but she is not as good of a talker as Marv is yet. Cant wait though!

  • I love your African Gray, I can't wait till ours startsto talk, hes 5months old so anytime, we work with him alot, but there is alot of cussing in our house so that might be a bad thing too!!!lol

  • lol its funny.

  • lol in background you can hear the oh long johnson cat

  • explain that one to me lol

  • i gotta say ive been thinkin about what bird i would like to get this just made my day and im deff gettin a african gray now ..... this bird is great thanks for the help

  • my bad sorry you were trying to get work done lol

  • why are you telling marv to shut up for?

  • I guess you would be upset if I said mean things to a rock.

    Marv is clucking in contentment after having his fat scratched.

  • @HogOnIce We LOVE your videos. Not offensive at all. Sounds like two best friends talking. Your critics should stop thinking before they have a panic attack! Hope to see more videos. We also have a grey but she is not as good of a talker as Marv is yet.  Cant wait though

  • MARVIN!!!!!

  • I like how the guy has clearly told the bird to shut up a ton of times and now the bird echoes his voice. XD Freaking hilarious. I'm glad my cats cant' do that!

  • omg that talking cat vid is SO funny hahahah

    and so is ur bird

    i really want an african grey, i had a quaker parrot but once when i went over seas i left him with my grandparents and they fed him something that was toxic and he passed away :(

    how much was Marv??

  • XD I love how you have the "long johnson" cat playing in the background at one part. Irony.

  • Like beer bottle openers?

  • Your bird is awesome and your books are great!

    Keep Chewing Till It Stops Kicking is the best of the lot!

    We are all in need of more Marvin and a little touch of Maynard wouldn't hurt either.

    You going to do a recipe involving Python since I hear they are taking over FLA?

  • Thank you for reading my primate's lame books. Tell him to dedicate a portion of the profits to cool bird toys.

  • I will apologize to him right after I let him out of the refrigerator.

  • Animal control? That's insane! I can't even control Marv!

  • I'm still in the fridge. How do I open a beer bottle?

  • hes a parrot owner buddy...so am I...u can tell when an animal doesnt like something...look at the standard of living that parrot enjoys & how pampered he is..U should be taken to animal control cause ur clearly responding on impulse and not w/ logic...

  • @angelleea96 Don't you think you're being a bit excessive? It's not as if the parrot can understand human language. He wasn't even being sincere, but instead doing it for comical effect. However, you think he should be turned over to animal control for telling his parrot to "shut up" in a blitheful way? THAT, is a perfect paragon of how to blow things out of proportion.

  • @VerdeHoshi Look Im done with this whole subject, I have 11 parrots I have been a trainer for many years of both birds and police k9. Animals can sense a person feelings and can tell by the tone of voice and how they are treated. However if feels the need to be mean to the bird so be it. one day it will turn on him.

  • @angelleea96 You're quite obviously not done if you still feel the need to contribute to the argument and attempt to signify your understanding of the scenario by claiming to have experience. Even with none, I'm sure most people would agree that turning the African Grey over to animal conrol for being told to shut up is pure extremism. And if what you said about animals understanding a person's feeling's is correct, then that's all fine and dandy since he was clearly bantering when he said it.

  • @VerdeHoshi Hmm..well ok whatever!!

  • @HogOnIce pffttt XD

  • @HogOnIce it's your bird if want your 900 bird to cures then so what i can tell you worked with him alot good job and to all the other crybaby's shut the fuck up

  • the bird doesnt understand what hes saying....I could go up to my african grey and call him a piece of crap w/ a smile on my face & he'll interpret it positively. Ur putting a human mind in that of an animal's. My african grey is very chatty and sometimes I dont wanna hear it...sometimes I curse at him...does that mean I hate my bird? no!

  • You can tell you don't have birds. They remember tops 2 weeks & they just try to bite NOT send you to the ER... Research before you insult people you just sound like an idiot

  • @angelleea96 to say that he's mean and rude to his bird is rediculous. The bird is obviously treated very well. hes very verbal and communicates incredibly well with the owner. I think its hilarious how it shows them communicating, The bird looks really good, and get a sense of humour haha.

  • Awesome! What a fun pet to have :)

  • A house full of pottymouths. What could be better?

    I think you are right about what he said at 2:16 though

  • I love these birds I am trying to get one but like you said they are VERY expensive.

  • LMAO "i think it was a rip off.."

  • I used to have an African Gray. But it died of a heart attack. He was awesome, and your parrot makes similar noises and things like mine, it reminds me of him, thanks for uploading.

  • Thansk for being so blunt you made my day.

  • What do you mean?

  • sry dude i jus got blunts on my mind

  • wtf did he just say hairy pussy!!!!! HAHAHAHHA!!!!!!

  • that's funny!

  • my african grey cost me $1,500... and it didnt include the cage, which was another $500...but he was worth it!!

  • Aw awesome, you (and Marv) both sound like S. Floridians, we have a very generic tone of voice (so I'm told, oddly enough I'm from Arkansas and people tell me I sound like I've lived here all of my life). Your birdies are very lucky to have such a sweet papi :)

  • Hehe, that the fun of having a Grey in the house; you never know what they will say next.

  • 3:08 marv eats fat brown monkey turd. that always gets me laughing

  • I'm a primate!

    You take orders from ME!

  • what do you want turd head

  • SHUT UP!

  • "is that the best you can do?"

    "marvin, MARVIN!"

  • The big money is in the black cockatoos. If you can find one for $8,000.00, which would be an older bird, that would be a bargain. In the USA, the black cockatoos and the Hyacynth macaws are probably the most expensive birds you can have as pets.

  • "you cost 900 bucks, what you think of that Marv?" He really told you lol. This is one of my favorite grey videos. I am getting a grey next year. I can't wait. I love your bird.

  • Marv and you are the funniest parrot-primate pair I've ever seen. Great stuff, and I can tell that Marvin gets a huge kick out of it. This video totally cheered me up! And my parrot talked back to Marv, too.

  • This is cute, and it's not a contest, but if you haven't seen Tui, check her out. I haven't seen every African grey on youtube (and despite the fact that need to get a life, I probably never will) but that bird is amazing.

  • LMFAO ur watching "ooooh long johnson!".

  • can he repeat the sound of the raspberrys you blew that him?

  • I think I heard some R2D2 sounds

  • funny cat

  • We are getting a baby Grey this fall. Saving now. He's a cutie!

  • One way to start your day with a good laugh; just listen to Marv burping.

  • it is quite impressive!

  • im sure you love your bird since you forked out $900 but you might want to show him you love him. you sound so harsh! they aren't like humans who "just know" you love them. they need to feel it. i have a parrot as well and a nice tone in your voice is all they need. they aren't just here to entertain you. be nice to him. he's beautiful. :)

  • You may have a parrot, but you don't know African greys. They're too smart to be fooled by the tone of your voice. It's impossible to offend Marv by yelling at him. In fact, he loves it.

    Ask anyone who knows greys. The louder you yell, the more they like it.

  • "MARVIN! Shut up!!!" lmao EWW he's mimicing Marvin's burps LOL

  • i know that cat show you were waching!

  • lol, the entire time watching u yell at him so shut up, im doing the same with my bird.... i got a mini macaw though, wish i had a grey

  • I'm a Grey owner...So, i can really appreciate this bird and his ability to mimic you.. Please keep it up...This kid really made me laugh.

    Fantastic speaking voice, mine also.. Teach him to sing, mine does and it's much too funny

    , especially at 5:am..

    SandyJ.

  • The burp at 1:53 is priceless!! ROFL!!!

  • I notice almost every african grey knows how to say "shut up," and its pretty obvious why, haha.

  • Cute! Can you put the things he's saying somewhere?

  • haha little bastards gotta attitude eh tellin u to shutup LMFAO

  • Omg, I love this bird!

  • I love marv he is soo cute and he has a really good speaking voice. i have a 5 week old budgie and i want him to speak how do i get him to??

    thank you for posting this video it is very intertaining =)

    GeekWithAnEvilStreak

  • it sounded like he said get back to work!

  • Guys he's not mean to his bird.. he obviously loves him very much and takes great care of him :)

  • i hope this is just an act for the camera and ur not taht mean all the time lol

  • $900 bucks lol... here in Australia... looking at a smooth $6,000 for a well bred bird.

    gg to importation laws...

  • wow 6000!!!???!!?! there goes my dream of having one some day lol

  • I googled it, since I didn't think 6,000. could possibly be right (plus, bird types rarely speak of "well bred" birds - I found some - in Queensland - for 300.00.

  • I don't think so ! They may be that expensive, but it's not importation laws!!!!!!!!! NO parrots are imported to the USA, they are all domestically bred - so import laws do not factor in - and it's the same in Australia. In fact, I think it's the same everywhere, as I might like to travel again one day, but there is no country where I could take my bird. Aussies get their revenge here - you should see what we pay for the cockatoos Aussie farmers shoot as pests!

  • how much?

  • Truthfully, I recently learned that my 'too, A lesser sulphur crested, isn't from Australia! So I might be wrong about others. Galahas (?), aka rose-breasted, I think are about  $1,200.00. Umbrellas are also in that price range, as are greater sulphur cresteds and tritons. The goffins, and bare eyed are in the $1,000.00 range. Moluccans, which are MUCH harder to breed, are closer to $2,000.00.

  • Omg gosh... Omg you REALLY that mean to him??

  • he isnt mean to him he loves his bird and he wants to show that to people by posting it on Youtube

  • I think this is not funny only a waste of a parrots ability to repeat what they hear on social ques. all this guy was doing was swearing to his parrot. i own an african grey and they have way more potential than that.

  • at 3:45 it sounds like he saying liquid detergent O.o

  • i'll trade u my little amazon green for him :)

  • i think i heard like "lard ass"

  • He calls his dad a "Turd" and a "Whore" LOL!

  • If you bought a parrot and expected him to be a quiet pet... oh man. XD

    He's adorable, though.

  • hahaha.. he's cool in my books.

  • ive seen that cat on youtube. he says o long johnson o don piana why ey eyes all the live long day lol i love him

  • i like how you interact with him--you guys are so funny together. the cheese part was hilarious.

  • So damn funny! He called you a fat turd!! And the talking cat in the background is priceless! ROFLMAO

  • Your parrot made me laugh my head off. Brilliant African Grey.

  • He sounds just like you! LOL

  • LOOOL The most funniest bird Ive ever seen! Hes so smart!

  • "Marvin, I found cheese on the floor 6 feet from your cage. Would you care to explain that?"

    *shrinks down* "Marvin?"

  • my budgie petie thinks everything is either 'pretty' or a 'prettyboy' he also says 'i love you' 'hello' and his own name 'petie'

  • marvin rulz my african grey loved this and had a blast talking with marv.the talkin cat video rulz also we love that.please post sum more of marv thanks : )

  • lol that is so funny i wach this every day

  • dude, thats amazing.

  • "why dont u love me? im sorry marv"

    "What you want turdet"

    "What are you lookin at"

    "Shut up!" (both times)

    "Marv eats fat monkey turd" LOL

    greatest things hes ever said cracks me up all the time awesome bird

  • I think talking back to him like that only encourages him to talk more, maybe it would be better idea if you put a blanket over top the cage if he gets to noisy for you. This usually helps calm down the birds.

  • Shut up.

  • yeah shut up

  • they have that talking cat?!?!

  • Okay...this bird is a total trip! Very funny, indeed. Marv, your bird, priceless AND SO VERY FUNNY! POST SOME MORE VIDS!

  • wat age is ur bird,mine is turning 1 and hes saying a bit but not as clear as ur bird hes grt

  • Your right your bird is insane. HAHAHAHAHA!!!

  • 3:16 is the best ahahahahahahaha

  • I love when he says "what are you lookin at?!"

  • at 3:09, does he say "Marvin eats fat, monkey turd!!" ??? if so, LOL!!!

  • i think the people you had him before must have been a couple because he says"make sure that door shuts dear"

  • wahha shut up xD i love it

  • did he say marvin why dont you love me

  • thats pritty rad

  • lol he sounds like a public service announcement.

  • lol did he just said *what are you looking at * ?? lol im gonna teach that one to my grey

  • i was this video quite a bit, it entertains my grey. shes not talking yet shes only 13 months, but when she does start talking, ill be sure to give ya some video responses.

  • At the beginning of the video until about :20secs, can anyone else here that talking cat in the background?

  • yes

  • i love your bired man hes cool

  • I have to watch this like...everyday.

    MARV RULES!!

  • hey 'shut up!' lol

  • "...while I try to get work done". Hmmmm...I see. Well, you know what they say about work. It's all 'oh long John', 'oh long Johnson' and 'oh Don Piano' all the live long day.

    P.S.

    I like your parrot (but not in a gay way)

  • What do you think of that Marv?

  • haha that is class! iv got to get myself 1! i have 2 ring neck parakeets and b4 that i had a conure but im in love with african greys! i have to get 1

  • I am a bird lover myself, I have a few myself. I love the fact that you two comunicate, but the negativity really is depressing.......

  • You're the only one suffering, then. Marv and I have a great time together.
