  • How is WeeWoo doing? I love this cute little starling.

  • Love this bird! He has mastered your voice! LOL

  • My starling randomly started saying "what's birdie doing" exactly like Wee Woo after watching this video twice!! I wasn't even sure where he had learned it from until I put it on for him again today. He loves to sit on the keyboard or on top of the monitor and watch Wee Woo silently pondering. When the videos are over he pecks the keyboard like he's searching for more!

  • hey buddy :U god he's cute.

  • omg that bird is smart. It's an ancestor of the Chozo! - lol

  • How does someone dislike this??? His name alone is adorable, let alone the actual bird :D  cute, cute, CUTE!!!

  • is weewoo a boy or girl?

  • His "who's a pretty boy" is very unique. A mix of bird call and english haha.

  • Hah. His love is too much. too cute.

  • rare bird from where is native this bird ?

  • @iorel1982 It's a sparrow

    

  • @iorel1982 They are everywhere in Oregon.

  • my starling (baby) talk alot lol i find them better then parrots less responsibilty @jojo you can go to a wild life santuarary actually.the dont mind allowing you to take em off your hands. and i dont think itll be cruel they usually have 3 at a tine. i found mines on aside walk about for days old they live to ne 20

  • What do you feed him?

  • Don't take this question the wrong way, but do you think starlings are happy being "pets"? I've rehabbed a few myself, and considered keeping one I became really attached to. But I wasn't sure if a wild animal would be happy that way.

  • @LoriTheGorey It's hard to say realy. You could say it's wrong because they are wild flocking birds, but on the other side of the argument, the fact that a lot of people are now keeping them as pets means that many more people are now starting to realise that they are wonderful intelligent birds and not just some pest we've been lead to believe, and this can only be a good thing. I think as long as people don't start trapping wild healthy starlings to keep as pets, then it's not a problem.

  • @Weedtoker590 lot of people in US calling them pest and say how evil they are that lot of other native bird there also do just because they had not nice habit to take over nests and other US bird species have problem to compete with them and also there are not native in US. Sames goes to House Sparrow and ironicaly they became endangered in some of there native regions specially UK

  • @LoriTheGorey

    I had one for a while and he seemed very content as a pet. He had a shattered and permantantly crooked wing, even when the bones healed, and could not be returned to the wild.

  • @themysteriouskiller

    How do you take care of them as pets? Like.. What type of cage? Food? Etc. I know I'll end up with more orphaned starlings again this year, since every "rehabber" around here only uses them as hawk food. I took it upon myself to help out the starlings since no one else around here will. :/

  • @LoriTheGorey They need huge cages, called flight cages. Most cannot live together because they think they are humans when raised as babies, so you will need flight cages for each bird you have. They eat dog food, either soaked in water or ground up in a blender to be bite sized. Starlings can live for 20+ years, so do not take it lightly- they require a LOT of care, every day. Mine took up all of my time, every day, and having more than one would be just too much. I do not suggest it at all.

  • @themysteriouskiller

    I hadn't planned on keeping ALL the starlings I run into lol. Just wanted to be informed, in case one can't be released.

  • @LoriTheGorey

    Not a bad idea. Shadow was very precious to me. In fact, I am getting a captive bred E. Starling very soon, a female. I am very excited to have another of these birds- there is nothing in the world like a starling.

  • @themysteriouskiller

    Yeah, the one I grew attached to was an amazing bird. Very sweet.

  • I want WeeWoo to come stay with ME. I Love HIM!

    How sweet is this GUY to save & find so much in this bird. How NICE! HI DUDE! 0=))

  • I want WeeWoo to come stay with ME. I Love HIM! 0=))

  • May I ask how you got him/her? I want one very bad, and just got informed that the birds tha i have in my shed all summer are Starlings! Would it be cruel to the mother if I take a baby?

    .. Now please dont juge me for being '' cruel '' to nature, if im asking its because I care about them. thanks

  • Teach the bird to sing Headstrong.

  • o m f g thats cool lol

  • around 0:23 to 0:30 did ur bird say u bitches

  • I watched it over 30 times from yesterday to today. Muahhhh love the bird :-D

  • how did you get him to start talking?

    

  • Why americans always have the TV-Sound in the background? Do they do other things than watching TV?

  • @Seelenfeuer666, I have a pet starling and mine almost never talks unless there is some kind of background noise, like the radio or the clothes dryer. I think that's why all the talking starling videos have background sounds.

  • I always see black, or light brown starlings. But, I've never ever seen a brown, and black starling, like this one here.

  • WeeWoo is great even if he didnt talk,nice bond and loving relationship,native to england the house sparrow they are called are free to be captivate and raised in the U.S. cause they are not native to the states,and are very intelligent,awesome,i have a crow thats 17 years old and can let out to fly free and will return,that does talk very well,i love it,your cool,god bless

  • @MrJoeyambor They are not called the "House Sparrow" anywhere. Their full name is the "European Starling". The House Sparrow is a completely different species of bird.

  • he sounds like he making you talk betwn 3:10-5:29, so intelligent and vocal!

  • Have you been teaching him to say anything else?

  • Was he a juvenile at this time? Looks like the one I rescued from my downspout.

    LOVE HIM!

  • I love it :D

  • i thought it said gimmy cash not gimmy a kiss lol

  • haha thats awesome!!! i want to get a bird & teach it how to talk !! lol i would make it make fun of my brother or something haha

  • Dude, turn down the stereo...! The bird is waaay better to listen to! LOL

  • I'm so amazed at this. Had no idea starlings had this kind of voice control. WeeWoo is awesome!

  • I believe starlings are in the same family as mynah birds,

  • Neat. Mynah's are really something as well. I remember seeing them as pets as a child and being fascinated. I knew a woman who had a crow also, and he could articulate a little bit, but this starling is really so cool. Thanks for the factoid. Love learning these fascinating things via new friends online!

  • he's the best starling i've ever seen in my fucking life!GREAT VID! 5/5!

  • I'm am owned by 9 birds from Caiques to Cocktiels to Budgies and I have to say this is one of my favorite videos! Please don't ever delete it from You Tube.

    We love that Wee-Woo!

  • "where's my spaghetti?" --- "give me a kiss"

  • Uhhh, I think he actually really wants a kiss.

  • I could watch weewoo all day!

  • My Cats would love WeeWoo---LOL!!

    How sweet that you taught him to talk---

    thanks for sharing--never have seen anything like this--a Talking Starling

  • Sorry but I had to vote 4 for the music in the background. Still an awesome bird though.

  • I HAD to stop back to watch this again... Weewoo is an amazing talker... Fascinating to listen to him mimic you! ... I have a young sun conure (my third) ... and they're not typically known for talking... but he's trying.

    I know this video of yours is from '06 ... I hope all of you are well...

    PEACE! ... Angel =]

  • I want a starling! Where can I get one?

  • Yes, I too, am now a WeeWoo fan... (I love hearing him say his own name... sooo adorable!) =]

  • Looks like I'm a Weewoo fan now.

  • 6:36 he says "Your good, too." And the man chuckles, rocking the chair.

    Hey, I just found ARNIE THE DARLING STARLING! & bought it at the library ! Yeah, It's good !

  • It's really impressive how well he can talk, however, I am slightly creeped out by the robotic sound of a starling's voice...lol cute bird, though!

  • Lol, thats wierd, talking bird/name stealer. XP

  • Wow, I'm impressed with WeeWoo!

  • I raised a starling once as well. He used to like to stick his beak in my ear. We released him and were able to continue offering food to him for a few weeks after release, which was neat. Then we never saw him again. If I had it over, I think I would have kept the little bugger. :)

  • WEEWOO ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Have you read the book ARNIE THE DARLING STARLING? I don't remember the author's name but it was a good book, true story.

  • I have! It was A good book, but it was kinda short and it had a sad ending. (This is my first comment on this site!)

  • As a matter of fact, I have the book right here. The Authors' names are Margarete Sigl Corbo and Diane Marie Barras.

  • che amore !!

  • I'm a Weewoo fan lol.

    Does he let you touch him or like to be petted?

  • I WANT ONE SOOOOO MUCH!@

  • How long do Starlings live? About how early do they develop speech?

  • at 3:38 Your a good boy - sounds like "you're good, too !"

    I love the kissy noises...did you get when he was young ? what state ?

  • Cute! I love how his neck feathers flap around when he talks!

    I heard "Headstrong" by Trapt playing in the background. Is that WeeWoo's favorite song?

  • wow, this is freaky! it sounds like a robot!! so intriguing!!

  • that is great I never saw a bird like that talk so clear its amazing great job and keep it up . I will keep watching 4 more !!! 5\5

  • Omg! That is too cute! I love him! Everytime I listen to this, I could swear that after you tell him he's a pretty boy, then tell him that he's a good boy...that he says "keep it coming!" I think that it so funny! I just took one in that my cat got, she can't fly, so I have been feeding and taking care of her! Any tips?

  • Hey Buddie, You and your bird are amazing. We love him.

  • LoL..Funny Bird :))) xD

  • hi how is wee woo theese days?

  • i love the song you were playing!

    headstrong!

    oh, and i like the bird weewoo too...XD

  • I LOVE YOUR BIRD!

  • I love the name "Wee-Woo" for him! Fits him perfectly!

  • lol! that bird is a girl? it sounds like it has a boy's voice XD. BTW cool!

  • sweet bird

  • Hi my name is Heather. I rescued a baby starling who is now about 6 weeks old. I'm going to attend college classes in August and I need to find a new home for her. If you could help me I would greatly appreciate it. I didn't know where else to go for help. I hope you can respond with some help. thank you

  • do you live near calgary?

  • What Is A Wee-Woo?

  • weewoo is his name he is a starling bird

  • Oh But What Is A starling bird? I Haven't Seen That Kind Of Bird.

  • i dont really know if you can buy them but they are like parrots. the only difference is they learn RIGHT AWAY

  • Oh.

  • oh gosh its sooo cute!

  • a bird is a dinasaur

    dinasaur can talk too

  • she loves to "kiss" you <3 aaww

  • When she responds directly to you that's awesome!

    People are amazed that starlings talk but they forget that they are related to crows and ravens. These birds can talk too if trained. :) Seems to me that these wild birds make good pets! They are very sweet and seem well behaved.

  • GREAT BIRD! I love those smart birds!

  • Teach him to say something more cool. This is an order.

  • She, sorry

  • My husband knocked them out of their nest when he was pressure washing. They eat from my hand and one seems to be trying to imitate sounds already.

  • That's awesome. I've got two right now that are about 7 weeks old. I've been feeding them for over a month, first cat food mixed with egg yolk and fruit, now softbill insect diet and lots of crickets plus various fruits.

  • Very cool. I didn't expect such clear pronunciation.

  • WOW!!!

  • This bird is almost everywhere... it's name is : Sturnus vulgaris

    But I don't know how he learnt to do this...

    They just do wierd sounds... maybe the guy who owns it can tell us more... he just learnt that alone ?

  • Aw, this is so cute. I had a starling when I was younger, I released him once he was strong enough to handle himself on his own.

  • Weewoo has had a lot of attention and love...she started talking at 6 months old and has never stopped...I rescued her for the blazing hot sun when she had fallen out of the nest, she was about 4 days old and I hand fed her.....she wont leave my side even when she goes outside and her wings are NOT clipped...

  • Her eyes seem to suggest she is sincerely fond of you. Most interesting. I suppose any animal could be domesticated-- to a certain extent.

  • @weewoo What did you feed her?

  • Wow, this is amazing, I didn't know starlings could talk. He's awesome

  • I WANT ONE did u find this 1?????? if i find 1 again this year im keeping it (if i find it young enough)

  • Very sweet, what kind of diet it requires?

  • I love your bird! I had heard they could talk, but not seen anything like this before. He's a sweetie.

  • for crying out loud give em a kiss! he's cute

  • moonboots69 you know nothing about a starling that has been raised since she was 3 or 4 days old and has had nothing but a lot of attention and love. I removed your posts because you are a complete fool....

  • +1000

  • Gimme kiss lol

  • My God; he sounds just like you! This bird is beautiful and amazing!

  • What a very smart starling!He's so cute too!

  • are starling good pets

  • Starlings are great pets! I've got one and I'll never let him go!

  • I took care of a baby one that fell out of a tree for 2 weeks, then I let it go when it was bigger. I didn't know that they could talk. They eat bugs don't they, what did you feed your bird?

  • Is he giving you a kiss, when he jumps up on you?

  • ooohhhh!!! hes sayin who's a pritty boy!

    that took me a while...^-^

  • it sound like spidy something Spider-man Fan =P

  • a whole new approach to a grunge bird!

  • its sounds like he's saying sparky pee pee's and figures -.-

  • this bird is remarkable! a sweetheart:)

  • He speaks more fluent and clearer then most known talking birds,wow he must love him2 death

  • I think it's not illegal to keep starlings as pets in North America. They're everywhere, so it probably isn't hard to get one. If I'd have known anyone wanted one, I could've given you one of the baby ones that was in my roof.

  • howd you get one i cant find anywhere that sells them do they sell um its so freakin cute

  • How old is WeeWoo?How old can he get?5 stars for you.

  • It takes a few minutes, but it is clear the bird almost has the owner trained to speak on command....at least the owner repeats very well....LOL

  • What kind of bird is this?I have never seen a bird like this,so that is why I am asking.You obviously has done a lot of work with this little beauty,so absolutely at least 5 stars for you!

  • i want him,hes voice so clear and pure can i hve him lol

  • Don't know what some of these folks' problem is. Nothing wrong with any kind of pet if you take care of it. Weewoo seems very happy, and smart! Congrats.

  • hes soo adorable!! "gimme a kiss" lol! says it so often.. xP

  • i love trapt way to go man :P and ur birds adorable

  • Weewoo is Awesome! :)

  • what does he say at the very beginning?

    i looove him!

  • sooo cute how people can actually hunt birds.. human already eliminated so many bird species already.. it makes me soooo angryyyy grrrrrrr :(

  • that is so fake. not really im only joking, weewoo is so cool. does he talk all the time though or shut up when you tell him to?

  • does he poo everywhere?

  • no he goes to the toilet.. what do u think its a bird..

    give hime some food and he poos every 5min. :D:D

    besides bird poo brings luck

  • LOL "Headstrong" by Trapt was playing in the backround.

  • Gimme a kiss, YEAH RIGHT. He can kebab you with that beak! I didnt realise starlings could mimic ur voice, tho my sisters budgie said a few words, cos he heard it lots from their cockatiel i guess, cute. Emma.x

  • He is so cute. I love birds but I can't have any with 4 cats in the house they would love to have one for their meal.

  • did he ever peck you with that beak?

  • yes in the eye when weewoo was about 6 months old and yes it hurt like hell...

  • that is aweseome!!

  • It's prety amazing how clearly he is able to pronounce the words

  • really??? i can only hear sum things its saying

  • Haha, imagine if he escaped and was sitting in a tree, and asked some kid passing by; "hey buddy, watcha doin?" The kid wud think he was goin crazy! haha.

  • "give me a kiss??!!" Wow, that's amazing!!! I think he wants your attention! how cute! x
