My african grey swears

[ryudooo]

That's one badass parrot. xD

[slayer200325]

heres how it happened, guy says parrot we are gonna teach you some new tricks today, parrot says ok, man leaves room and comes back in with the camera, parrot says camera? FUCK!, no more tricks, FUCK IT!

[slayer200325]

fuck! my god damn meal, you son of a bitches never feed me, FUCK IT!

[SilverAukahzy]

I dont care what people say..when children and animals swear..its cute and funny XD

[hillariouschicken9]

dude look at the parrot u dont even groom her

[RocketRodder]

@hillariouschicken9 Birds groom themselves.

[DeeLynn900]

just because she teaches it bad words doesnt mean she treats him any worse than any other owner.

[tkb508]

lol

[SP33DADD1CT]

hes like Fuck it..i aint gonna take no more training

[Nastoor]

My African black say's worlds like this all the time.Servant that is :p

[freehouseefls]

hehehehehe soooooooooooo funny

[iBrandoCommando]

He looks like he's mis-treated?

[jjkillerbird]

@iBrandoCommando

Oh nice, another wannabe internet bird expert. Sure you se him in this one video, and immideately you can tell, that he's not treated right, because his feathers are a little bit "fluffy"

People want to share their birds with the world, and all they get is som "blah that bird has a bad owner blah" Birds sometimes just have some issues with their feathers! It does not automatically mean, that they're plucking, and even if they do, doesn't mean, that the owner is guilty!

[WhatYouGotZ]

you sayd:"FUCK" he sayd:"you fuckin!" :D

[ebonifragaria]

That's nothin.. I could never have an african grey; he'd end up saying (very emphatically) "oh, sunnova BIIITCH!!!!" whenever something bad happens in the game i'm playing XP

[amy4183]

My african grey plucks his feathers, does yours? His chest looks fuzzy, like my bird.

[kattwoman17]

@amy4183 I think he is still just a baby, so he hasn't molted all of his baby fluff away and grown in his main feathers.

[TonyAerts]

looks like Joe Pesci

[LarryFoulkePixy]

o_o

[davidturvey1]

Yeah sometimes they are but this is not mentioned and it looks like a young bird to me. i doubt on this occasion it was rescued tbh.

[davidturvey1]

That bird needs help. Obviously is not getting enough stimulation or attention. Its plucking its feathers out and this for me = bad parrot owner. Bird plucking feathers out is parrots way of saying I have nothing to do or not in a happy environment

[KitKit209]

This poor bird looks like it's not taken care of at all!

[mmaelite871]

@KitKit209 yeah and the fact that the owner of the bird is making it cuss

[hucker75]

@KitKit209 Not necessarily. Greys can have a psychological problem which makes them pull feathers. Or they can be bored.

[puppetmaster983]

Must be a reallly bad infomercial.

[golsonkp]

It looks like it plucks at its feathers, it's probably stressed. Then it becomes obvious when a fuckin kid taunts the bird by saying "TALK".

[andhellomyneighbor]

@golsonkp No one is telling it to talk. The parrot says "FUCK!". You may have mistook that for a human telling it to talk.

[golsonkp]

@andhellomyneighbor No, when the kid hurls himself at the bird yelling "talk". It's a lot louder when the bird actually saying "fuck you".

[guywiththebass]

@matypython: I wouldn't mind having a bird that swears. Hm.

[matypython]

Parrots lives are usually too long for them to have just one owner. Because you taught him curse words, whether they're "only bad because people label them that way" or NOT, he will have a much slimmer chance of finding a home. It's sad.

[nooloo3000]

do all african greys have a eep voicelike that

[Boomx2Brian]

@nooloo3000 they copy the sound verbatim. so if he hears a low voice, he will imitate it in a low voice

[BlindSided182]

Damn I would not want to fight that bird LOL. That thing is monster mad eyes. Haha I love your pet bird.

[lemurfan123]

YOU probably swear, he is copying you because YOU swear!!! SHIT WIT!!!

[galanie]

LMAO!! I'm afraid if I had a good talker that's about all it would say.

[biohazzarddiva]

@galanie That's why my husband doesn't want me to get a Grey, he'll drop a lot of f bombs.

[TitWarlord]

ur bird looks kinda scary at :08

[mstar1981]

:))

[JadeIsAGoodGirl]

Why is the light so close to it's fucking head?! Are you trying to cook it?! O_O Jeez, common sence will be not to leave a light 1mm away from its eyes and head.

[peachlover122]

@JadeIsAGoodGirl the bird climb up on top the cage watch duh

[JadeIsAGoodGirl]

@peachlover122 This is the time were I say, move the cage so you don't kill it :)

[peachlover122]

@JadeIsAGoodGirl true haha

[marigilfoil]

The reason why parrots will say these words a lot is only because they like the attention it gets them. If you start ignoring them when they swear then they stop using the words.

[skater7597]

my ucles boss has a bird that calls his daughter a whore

[vantagetes]

Haha yes it is!

[n3gr4rn]

for those with a sense of humor developed enough its deemed funny

[92benno92]

When I was a kid, and got a new dictionary I always looked up the baddest words first.

So when I got my Quaker I told him to say, "get fucked ya' bastard, get fucked ya bastard".

It's going swimmingly.

[xxxcoolxxx08]

listen to the tv in the backgroun at 0:07 it says no pussy no brain no problem lmfao

[redjar454]

@xxxcoolxxx08 listen more closely, it says "No twisting, no turning, no problem."

[xxxcoolxxx08]

@redjar454 oh i have a dirty mind so thats what i heard at first lol

[mara4ce]

Is this a chick, I see his chest is kind of bald, if it isn't this bird is in need of attention so he can stop mutilating himself.

[MystiffDawn]

My grey does not swear but loves to say "SHUT UP !"

[dantheman374]

fuck!! the parrot turns around all serious, "fuck off" haha

[balramdeosaran]

thats bad what u do ur parrot im a doctor i take care of parrots and pets thats really bad

[VIPLeague]

@balramdeosaran Instead of saying "that's bad" you could better give him an advice how to fix the problem...

[balramdeosaran]

@VIPLeague i dont know who your talking to ? because i have take care of parrots and they are not like that parrots arnt raise to be cursers there raise to be pets not toys

[VIPLeague]

good for you, no reason to show off here

[canucksallday]

lol

[hammy012]

FUCK!

LOL

[RuPeRtxThExpOnY]

does it hert wen u clip a birds wings

[Reichu]

Nope. Done properly, you're just cutting off the tips of the flight feathers, which prevents the bird from achieving lift.

Google images for "bird wing anatomy" to get an idea of what part of the wing constitutes the arm itself. That's what you DON'T cut when clipping!

[fedorap97]

yeah

they do

[bethanyepiphanyx]

yes, they can fly. depending on their wings.

[hommie789]

yes they can fly very well, just most owners clip there wings. I don't clip mine I allow them to fly but I am an exception not the norm.

[SilentBiscuit333]

'FUCK'

i wonder where he learned that from....

[EGarrett01]

It's so funny...whenever someone's learning a new language...a toddler, an adult studying foreign language, or apparently an African Grey, they always pick up the swear words pretty much the first time they hear them.

[Amberthriller]

its hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love it

[Amberthriller]

I love and i rated it and favouritedit

[melaniebaybee]

am gettin an african grey soon :D cant wait :D:D:D

[KillaKushTv]

bad words are only bad because people labeled them that way.

[lmnopopsicle]

@KillaKushTv yes, bad people labeled those bad words! lol

[XCutePupa]

@KillaKushTv But they have a bad meaning ;)

[eragon2121]

@XCutePupa No they don't, they just have a strong meaning. You can say good things strongly with curse words just as much as you can say bad things with them.

[hathathatkilenckilen]

This is why the humanity ain't worth crappy pants.

[SmudgedxEyeLiner]

i have an african grey, a timneh. is it a new born or does it pluck its feathers?

[wantingtocomment]

New borns can't talk like that. This is probably a plucker. But don't judge, this person may have gotten this bird from someone else who was neglectful (hence the foul language). It looks like this bird's feathers are coming back though. It could also be molting.

[xxJonnyCxx]

how much was your african grey? i hear they are the best for talking

[xxjacobxx3]

on average they are the best talkers, mainly i think because they have a better memory than other birds. they can learn way more.

[bob080189]

mate dis ispointless is obuse u seid that ya fucked up twat

[FASS52]

2 bad coz it's the truth. ur swine... now kiss my ass!

[juak04]

well even if a bird does swear, the bird isn't necessarly worthless, but the person that taught the swear. its disgusting behaviour to swear so freely, and then to teach it to others.

[heatran1919]

ugh...you said that...another pointless video that has no need to exist

[FASS52]

birds that cuss and swear are not worth a penny. All of you here thinking that's funny need to get your birds taken from you. All of you who have birds that pluck themselves don't know what your doing.

[bob080189]

mate cum trey take me parrot frm me he will peck u till u fuck off

[bob080189]

mate ur a fuckin twat just lisson 2 ur self dunt get 2 atched 2 ur teeth cos ur be loseing them

[see464646]

lool

[susiepovie]

yes i do have a parrot!! an african grey!! i was giving alittle bit of information so fuk u!!!

[ma7adya3rifni00]

looks in bad shape

[ryanrossfirey]

i have a parrot that cusses and he's very nice ok it's just people you can talk like a sailor and still be a really nice person.

[FASS52]

NOT!

[shadowwing14]

Hmmm you know a parrot gotta hear that somewhere to repeat it looks like someone does some F**king swearing in his/her house xD

[3996118]

maybe hes mad because his owner is treating him like shit teaching him cuss words?....haa

[ryanrossfirey]

just because they're teaching him cuss words doesnt mean they're treating him bird some birds like to say cuss words i have a cockatoo and he loves to say cuss words and we take damn god care of our pets so stfu dumbass -.-

[givemesomeblood1]

@3996118 ya

[andhellomyneighbor]

@3996118

Parrots don't know English. How the hell would they know the words they're saying are good or bad? And how is it abuse if they repeat those words? Parrots repeat anything they hear. It could be the TV or radio. If it's the owner cussing, how do you know those words are being directed at the parrot?

[Melollyable]

@3996118 thats so true..what kind of words do u teach him in that mean house of yours???

[tetriminos]

did you teach it that?

[gkurdina]

I read that spraying with medications (f.e., aloe juice) helps to get rid of feather plucking.

[hxcvan]

Einstein bird is better... no offense

[70s80s]

He's probably swearing at the ad on TV...;)

[berryford]

he seems pissed O.O

[redtailedboaz1408]

fuck it lol

[chrisshs]

he actualy says fuck it...you can even see his mouth moving and if you can't you're blind

[shooter00x]

haha you wish he'd talk

[Purevil555]

He dont say anything! Its you that say

[ryanrossfirey]

yes the person said it first but the second time that was the bird look at it's mouth that wasnt fake it was him

[superwariogalaxy]

FUck!..FUCKEr

[sakurachan777]

*giggle snort*

[imbo8w]

To be quite honest I didn't see his mouth move

[saturdayxpain]

aww its a baby!

[ofins]

wow wadda bird it a bueatiful parrot but the swearing :l

[pengypingpong]

lol, the bird just said fuck!

[poopooman2020]

this is nothing compared to leon the swearing budgie, check it on my profile

[susiepovie]

i think you need to give your bird vitimans and calcium supliments...as it is plucking out its feathers. also spraying your bird with warm water in a morning will help to keep your bird lookin beautiful x

[ryanrossfirey]

my cockatoo clips not plucks he just clips his feathers he doesnt pull them out but we adopted him from a man cause he couldn't take care of them anymore cause he was sick and he started clipping cause his wife had died and he doesnt stop so some birds just dont stop but i think he's still gorgeous even though he's nakey =D

[prettykayla15]

gaaay!

[ryanrossfirey]

you're ggggaaaayyyyy.................­....BITCH!

[madcowyup]

He called you a fucker! D: Bad bird

[FlickBooger]

sometimes they just pluck/chew, it's a habit like nail biting. very hard to break. don't be so judgemental

[alchemist2012]

Ohhh Nooooo. I watched this twice and my grey just repeated this because I was laughting. no good no good.

[marykateoh143]

I have an African Grey and these birds repeat what they hear most often. So it's someone in your household's fault that he swears.

[marykateoh143]

I have an African Grey and they say what they hear around the house, so its someone in your household's fault that he swears.

[anxvariety]

You mean to say he didn't make up the word? LOL of course he heard it somewhere.. what's your point?

[alq8i79]

xD ,, feed her hot chely

[007dunno007]

lol thatss sooo fake but funnyy

[Reddog11222]

lol its not fake dude

[sadkatt22]

bad parrot

[grrxmuch]

omg michael lmfao

i can only imagine what you do to get this thing to say that.. after hearing all of those other stories! ahahahhah

[RamtinK]

FUCK, fucker LOOOOOOOL

[BulletForTheRoad]

take it tothe vet,

[ST355Z]

look after ur bird you discrace of a human

binge on

[Krazzer212]

DUDE !!! that was only a baby , how the hell do you know he was neglecting it ?! Still had a mix of fluff an feathers . lol your an embarrassment .

[zedzeddies]

From the tail you can see its an adult you muppet

[HighGUN]

lol he said fucker at 05:00

[kokomangosmom]

Try this...Say, "Hi (your name)" then say "well hello (your birds name)" ... Soon, when you say Hi.... your bird will finish and say "Well Hello....(your name" !!! Give it a try, and keep on teaching your beautiful bird. I cant wait to see more videos of your grey!!! Teach him something cool besides crap words!!

[AngelPam49]

It sounds to me like you are coaching the bird to swear. The title of your video also seems as if you are bragging and are proud that it does. I have owned 5 African Greys. 2 rescued from abusive owners. 1 came to us swearing but with a lot of love and patience he was taught to stop. As far as the plucking it can go either way. Most times they won't stop once started but I had rescued one who did. Maybe loving something with all your heart can sometimes help.

[L0STST0RI3S]

my bird said you fucking fanny fucker

[gcfanca005]

I hate when people automatically assume that becasue a bird has plucked itself quite a bit, that automatically IT MUST be the owner's fault..or that it has a poor diet, the majority of the plucker's..have started that from a previous owner..and it is easy to tell that if he was being mistreated or had a poor diet he would look a WHOLE lot worse than that. lovely bird btw.

[setiakucing]

Naughty bird! He needs a healthier diet, though...

[Stehvieh]

Thank you for your comment. She does get a very healthy diet, among nuts and seeds she gets fresh fruits every day as well as vegetables and sometimes cooked pasta (no sauce) and rice. We already went to the vet where the previous owner went to as well, and she said, that the plucking is in her nature, kind of a nervous behaviour. She did some tests to exclude other factors that can cause plucking such as fungi but our parrot is healthy.

[scooterman2006]

have a listen to Sparky a bird with attitude this bird is nuts and will make you laugh

[erickmiranda]

i meant the previous owners.

[erickmiranda]

your parrot is plucking his feathers out! how cruel! treat him better!

[PinkOrchid55]

get educated before you want to comment about cruelty.

A parrot plucks their feathers for many different reasons. Not always is it due to being treated poorly...

[copperchan]

Thats sad that it was mistreated, and good that her feathers folicles aren't destroyed. Thats horrible that she was punushed becuse birds don't understand what it means. if you just say a firm sharp no it will understand better becuse the tone of you're voice slightly resembles an angry mother bird.

[hush45555]

uhhh ur bird is depressed its feathers are plucked from the front

[ryanrossfirey]

do you have a bird? huh cause if you dont you shouldn't be saying anything he could be plucking from the previous owner and doesnt stop cause i have a cockatoo that clips his feathers and we adopted him from a man wouldn't couldn't keep them because he was sick and my cockatoo started clipping cause his wife died and has never stopped it's a habit know what you're talking about or dont say anything at all!

[pa4real]

Yeh mine says.. f'in bird.. if my bird doesnt get fed right away, that's partly because of my mom who said that.

[janniemk]

Wonderful bird. People who abuse/mistreat animals should be shot.

[earthylovingirl]

i love it, that's so awesome. i wish mine would swear.

[4machanhill]

I had a problem with my eclectus clipping his feathers (not plucking) the problem was he wasn't getting enough animal protein. He has now a diet which consists of natural pellets, fresh fruit and veg and he needs meat about 5 times a week.

[pullahoko]

The bird seems a little bit.... I don't know. Unhappy or tense. I guess the previous owner must have mistreated it. I like African greys, my aunt used to have one along with a Macaw.

[Stehvieh]

Yep, she is nervous as a part of her personality, but she is muuuuch better than she was, when we just got her. She gets a lot of love and attention, but she might never forget the way she was treated by her previous owner (her first 4 years) Her previous owner used to punish her a lot, spraying her with water and when we got her, her cage had no food in it, no water and the whole room stank due to cigarette smoke... she went through a lot though, but has a very relaxed life now. ;-)

[pullahoko]

That's good to hear ^^

[peacelord]

Sounds like your parrot has the solution for feather picking, "Fuck it!" tee hee

[Wizard298]

what diet is your bird on? does she get any sugar or dyes in her food?

Ya i can agree with your vet, sometimes food is the problem for there problematic plucking like that too, just trying to give some help/advice :)

[Stehvieh]

Hi Wizard298, she eats basically everything, cooked pasta, tomatoes, apples, then the regular food (safflower seeds, peanuts, sunflowerseeds and so on). She also likes tea a lot ;-) I guess we are doing everything right with her, she just happens to have a very nervous personality, probably because she was not treated very well from her previous owner

[rashkavar]

I had a lovebird with that problem. Odd thing is it wasn't one that had been treated badly before, while the one that was (and that one was abused, I know this) is merely afraid of hands.

We never found out how to fix it though. We tried lots of things including a flea collar and medicine of some kind...all that ended up doing is making the bird hate whoever put it on or gave him the medicine.

The bird died a few years back...caught a cold or bird pnumonia or something...

[Stehvieh]

I am sorry to hear about your loss, it is always hard to lose a loved pet

[myschatzi2]

Never feed her raw tomatos only cooked, raw tomatos are very bad for their liver. Sounds like you really love her, they are precious creatures and demand alot of attention. Good Luck!!!! ;-)

[Wizard298]

have you found out why she is plucking her feathers?

[Stehvieh]

Unfortunately she was already plucked when we got her from her previous owner (she was 4 at that time). We tried everything, she gets attention and playtime around 8 hours a day, but still keeps on plucking. The doctor said, that this is a nervous behaviour/habit, which is very hard to break.

[Wizard298]

is that ab ird light you got over his cage?

[Stehvieh]

Yes, it's a heatlamp for her

[roflpolar]

"Ohhh my grey says that too now and then. We adopted him, and his previous owner taught him some bad words! We think it's funny, but we don't encourage him to say that stuff."

Is it justification?

lma0

[cobblecod]

Your laughing encourages the parrot to swear. Now he'll swear just to make you laugh lol

[noob120120]

lol scary

[ugli1]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=tSR­_e__phuQ

if you like swearing parrots, have a look at this link, you'll love it!

[auntyjudy]

Ohhh my grey says that too now and then.  We adopted him, and his previous owner taught him some bad words! We think it's funny, but we don't encourage him to say that stuff.

[Stehvieh]

hi, yes the same applies for our parrot, she ist adopted as well and knew already all the bad words (including really heavy burping sounds).

[auntyjudy]

My parrot, Poe, loves to fart. And loud! He loves to do it when someone new comes to our home. He will wait til the person walks by him and then fart loudly, then start laughing. It is hysterical! I have posted a video of him doing his favorite thing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v­=83NEnDEW9H4

[Stehvieh]

Hey auntyjudy, I've watched your video, its quite funny!!!! Kooky does do some farting sounds as well, but prefers burping...especially when someone is drinking she watches closely, looks at you and burps!!! Those animals are the funniest but also smartest I've ever seen.
