  • Beautiful bird, you obviously love her and have made her a part of the family. Thanks for posting, I can't wait to share this!

  • 2:14 was funny! i wish i had a parrot :p

  • if only...

  • Im going to buy a Congo grey as soon as I finish building my cages magnificent creatures they are and yours is wonderful ever since I can remember I've loved the grey's how often did you train with her and good... no great job!

  • @fpssilentfox We've had her for 11 years and we just speak to her as we are doing things, ask her alot of questions and tell her the answers. There's no specific training schedule. She's just VERY smart and picked up all the stuff on her own. She's quite entertaining, that's for sure! Thanks for the comment!

  • Cool bird i like ruby she is also pretty and so smart and nice but most of all she is really funny

  • 2:53 sounds like R2-D2 from star wars

  • wait are he a telephone or microhave ?

  • This video & parrot is priceless, but is he Petaphile homicidal parroit? U want some cake? you want some milk? wanna cookie? LOL AWESOME!!!!

  • oh my...what a manly voice you have!!

  • That beeping was just freaking AMAZING!!

  • 16 People can eat shit and die.

  • I love her accent xD

  • OMFG

  • 1:12 CHIRP!

    Like the part when Ruby says hello to the broken phone XD

  • At least she's practicing her speaking lessons.

  • i had no idea parrots could have this many words in their vocabulary this is so awesome how long did it take for her to learn this many words?

  • 15 people don't want any cake xD

  • You want some cake?

  • what kind of parrot is ruby?

  • Lol foot dance xD

  • my grey is named ruby too! great birds:) yours is awesomee

  • great film, there's a parrot similar in our pet shop £720 cute but bet they can bite how noisy are they? I mean its great when they talk etc but if your watching tv or something can it be annoying?

  • My name is Lauren, and when he said "Can you say, Lauren?" I smiled :)

  • "Would you like some cake? Some cake?"

    THE PARROT IS GLADoS.

  • YES ! HE SAY MY NAME :D

  • its like a flying tape recorder :D I WANT ONE X(

  • Every time I watch a talking parrot, i feel it feeds on nostalgia and memories. This especially so. He remembers the good times with dad and keeps his mind in that state by reliving the song of it. Bird's love of song + favorite memories = parrot's song :D

  • hahaha do you ever mistake ruby for the telephone? I'm not sure if that would make me laugh every time i tried to find the phone or drive me nuts.

  • FAKE!!

    birds dont exist

  • That bird is so cute! I wish my African grey, Quinn, talked like that.

  • I love how it says,

    "Want some cake?"

    "Want some milk?"

    "Here's a cookie"

    "Some fruit? Apple?"

    One healthy thing.. Lol

  • 3:09

    lol

    he's heard things! *kisses then OoOoOoOh* 

  • LOL! he's repeating commands...smart bird!

  • shit i really thought he was gonna say "daddy's been having phone troubles" HAHAHA

  • I love how she makes telephone rings, and makes the noise when you click a button, and go "Hello?" Its so adorable!

  • I LOVE ITXD

  • I play this and over for my lovebird Penelope. She loves Ruby!! She peeks around the corner of my laptop to see where she's hiding :P

  • She's like a a stand-up comedian :)))

  • OMG I just watched this and it made my day!

  • this is so cute......i think he is the next Einstein (the famous african grey)

  • Ruby is beautiful! And what a vocabulary. Great touch with the subtitles. First rate video. I really enjoyed it.

  • so thats how your phone sounds

  • haha how cute! amazing bird! she has a lot of vocabulary :3

    LOL'd at the phone problem! she mimics the sounds very well 

  • Admitedly, the bird doesnt have much of a clue what it's saying, but good lord, does it have a huge vocabulary.

  • Comment removed

  • @Sallyallie89 She also can associate actions with words very well. If I take out pots and pans, she will say, "Momma's cooking". If she sees rain, she says, "That's rain out there." If we open the freezer, she says, "Want some ice cream?" If we get out a garbage bag, she says, "Daddy's gonna take out the garbage." and many others. It's difficult to tape that sort of thing, though, since she doesn't really like the camera and we have to hide it from her. Thanks for watching! Ruby's Mom.

  • @thesclands Ah, well I didn't know that. That's really smart then for Ruby to be able to do that. You don't meet too many birds as smart as that. What a large vocabulary =)

  • @Sallyallie89

    only someone who's never dealt with a parrot, could say something like that

  • @Ashelinsane The poster already responded to me, so you don't have to tell me. I already know. Read the comments to find my other comment in response to the poster.

  • @Sallyallie89 You couldn't be wronger- but you aren't even listening? look at how she associates words between them. That's why I love greys, they have these long monologues, where they move from topic to topic. mostly about showers or food, of course, lol.

  • @greengrendel If you read my later comments, you'll see I changed my thoughts from 2 months ago. I no longer feel the way I do with the comment you are responding to. I agree with you now.

  • @Sallyallie89 I see. Sometimes when my comment gets answered by the maker of the video, or gets too many thumbs up, I end up deleting it because dozens of people will keep replying the same thing! XD

  • @greengrendel That's quite alright. Very understandable =)

  • You want some cake ? ... smell... *sniff *sniff

  • Don't you bite me! hahaha whenever our macaw was going to bite he'd say "ouch!" haha that was our warning!

  • Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello?

    Ruby is so indescribably adorable. Hahahaha :)

  • Thats a Kevin Hart's Parrot , : You wanna go night night lOOOL

  • Kitty cat says, Meooooow.

  • is it a burp at 0:29?

  • @MrBradipo73 - hahaha, no that is a sort of "purr growl" that she makes when she is happy.

  • I love how parrots imitate the voice of those who trained them. It's creepy and cute at the same time.

  • This is ADORABLE!!!!!!

  • I baby talk to my chihuahuas all the time, I would hate if they could repeat it back!

  • This is the most amazing bird I have come across..

  • this is the best. oh my gosh.

  • Ruby is adorable and you have done a great job with her. How old is she? - Apollo's Mommy :-)

  • @DeniseNY1 Ruby turned 10 in November - she was 16 weeks old when we got her. She is in LOVE with my husband, so most of what she says is in his voice tone (she does sound alot like a robot, too, tho hahaha) I just watched your video of Apollo. He is absolutely adorable. I can just tell his is going to be a star one day =]

  • Freaky

  • wooooow he knows allot of words...amazing!

    its so cool if they can do that!

  • wanted to let you know that my Blue fronted Amazon as well as my cockateil love Ruby .

  • Give that bird a cookie!!

  • Somebody likes cake.

  • Beautiful, Smart Bird :)

  • I can watch Ruby all day long. Just amazing. What a smart bird.

  • this is awesome!!! This reminds me of my mom's bird named Lou. He talks all day like Ruby and says soooo many things that we can't even count! He also speaks in spanish! lol!

  • I like that she picked up on your phone problems. I am sure that is not something you set out to teach her.

  • I wish Ruby was my parrot... :)

  • "you like some cake?

    some cake?" lol  I also like the phone trouble's and how he picked that up, I had a canary and every time I didn't do my homework he would say. "homework, do your homework" so It was funny cuz my mom would know if i wasnt doing my homework, lol

  • "You want some cake?" xD lol!

  • Can you hear me now? ...gooood. Can you hear me now? ....gooood.

  • My 6 year old blue and gold macaw is a huge Ruby fan. we watch ruby almost every day because he seems to say more after watching ruby. I can hardly keep him off the computer.

  • thats a doggie! woof woof.

    You want some milk?

  • How big can they grow? She looks kinda big and I do not mean fat. And she is gorgeus and hilarious! XD

  • @Youdsavedme She is kind of small for a grey, about a foot long and less than a pound. They usually get about 14 inches long, and a little bit over a pound.

  • @thesclands Ruby's not small, she's fun-sized. ^n_n^

  • @thesclands my moms friends parrot says SHUT IT! every time he hears the cat meow its funny

  • now I know how your telephone rings ! hahah hilarious :)

  • sound like she has some extra milk on hand... :D

  • And she also memorized the phone xD

  • Brill vid!

    What software did you use to edit this? really struggling to find a decent one to edit my parrot videos!

  • @Thowsmom I use ShowBiz

  • (telephone ringing) man i hope my African Grey does that!

  • I've watched more videos with Ruby, this parrot is brilliant!!!

  • how much do they cost?

  • @britdanielxoxo 700-1300 dollars

  • I have noticed that African Grey's seem to be the most vocal...I love them!

  • My favorite part is where she purrs 29 seconds into the video. Ruby is awesome, smart and beyond adorable! I have a lilac crowned Amazon. Birds rule!!!

  • what type of bird is this?

  • @sindel411 She's a Congo African Grey Parrot

  • @sindel411

    Its a parrot DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

  • @1998adam8991 deres different types of parrots dumb azz

  • Is the bird imitating your voice lol? cute!

  • love the telephone one XD

  • My Jacqueline used to have feathers just like this, they're not so neat now and she's starting to grow red feathers on her belly, but it kind of fits her personality hehe.

  • awesome parrot . lot of work i guess!

    congrats ;)

  • he is amazing

  • HAHAHA "What??? What??? What???"

    "Cake."

  • You have stated that you feed your Grey a variety of foods. I have a Grey named Lucy. Besides food that I buy her at Petsmart I feed her oatmeal & grapes. Oh she likes Cheetos too :) But I'm afraid to try new things because I don't want her to get sick. I know parrots absolutely can't have chocolate or avacados. What other foods do you not give your parrot for safety reasons?

  • the bird is insane its having a cnversation with itself

  • There's another African Grey in England that swears.... have you watched this 'rude Ruby'? I love it, very entertaining!

  • INCREDIBLE!!! ADORABLE!!!!

  • LOL...this is really one of the coolest videos I've seen! Ruby is awesome :)

  • is she just talking t herself this whole time? :D

  • @weinmj - Yep, mostly! She will answer questions if we ask them, but if not she just keeps herself (and us) amused.

  • hahah 'wheres your foot?'

  • hahahaha that hilarious.

  • Brilliant, beautiful bird! My family has a five year old Grey, Afie, and her main phrases sound very similar to Ruby's . Afie starts the day with "Good morning sweetie, I love you!" and ends with "Night night!" or "Beddy- bye!" My dad taught her to say "Afie, apple!" when she wants food, but she quickly learned to use it whenever she wanted attention. She loves to have conversations with herself. What's Ruby's favourite food?

  • Her very favorite food is meat (any kind) but we only give her a tiny bit and chop it up into microscopic little pieces so she doesn't choke. She also loves all kinds of carbs - pasta, rice, beans, potatoes - alot. She eats alot of fruit, besides her seeds and pellets. She HATES milk and cheese, which is good, and is not a fan of any kind of green vegetable, cooked or raw (just like her daddy!)

  • I think that's what some breeders of African Greys call a "Cameroon" variant. They tend to be a bit larger, and the feathers on the tops of their heads are a bit darker than the 'standard' breed. Also, their tails seem to be a bit brighter red. They are absolutely gorgeous birds.

  • and i was thinking my parrot was the best talker.then saw this.:(

  • She has beautiful wings! My bird has it's feathers cut so it can't fly away, can Ruby fly?

  • @JadeIsAGoodGirl - We didn't have Ruby sexed, either, but she is very small and the different vets we've had her to say she is more than likely a female, so we pretend she is (hahahaha). Our vet clips just a few feathers on each wing so she can fly down without hurting herself, but she can't fly straight across or up when they are clipped. She has a ladder to get from her cage to the floor. Thanks for watching! Ruby's Mom

  • lol.its funny when she says "where's your foot?" at 5:50

  • I want one! haha

  • watt if there was a parrot with tourettes?

  • lol love this parrot xx

  • Thats really funny, cute :D

    But if she do that the whole day... xD

  • whoop! whoop! whoop! ROFLMAO!

    She's brilliant!

  • i am just speechless at ruby's vocabulary,,,i always find it adorable that they speak in the same manner they are spoken to. ( with lots of love) you have an amazing bird there!!!! ( i love the phone trouble hahahahaaaaaaa0)

  • the price for an African Grey varies from 900 to 1400 dollars.

  • how much the birds cost

  • Comment removed

  • lol

  • What a pretty Ruby!! 5 Stars for him and for You!

  • ''look, thats a cookie'' haha awesome! great vid 5/5!

  • what a vocabulary, i love her shes so cute, what entertainment, shes just amazing, my favorite part is 2:20, when she says "What!, What!,What!" lol

  • this is so cutee, and she sure loves cake haha! i want one sooo bad! but i would hate to see what they pick up sayin at my place. eeeeeep!! :)

  • lololol "ruby no bite"

    no shit, he may take your finger off XD

    do you not clip his wings?

  • We clip her wings so that she can fly down, but not up - that way she doesn't crash into the floor, but she can't hurt herself by flying all over the place.

  • Wow she is quite the talker. Cool. Can you tell me which feather you clip so she can glide down and not bounce and hit floor hard. I know how to clip and but not sure how many .

  • @ 3:20 is Ruby imitating R2D2?

  • I absolutely adore her! She makes me laugh like crazy!! BRILLIANT!!

  • I'm pretty sure that in the ??? part he said "Put that down". Lol

  • Hello!!!!!Super bird,how old is Rubbby?

  • get your ball get your ball get it !!! lmao wow

  • lol what's up with the bird and cake?

  • Ruby enjoys her foods..

  • thats awesome!!!!

  • haha ruby likes cake

  • Ruby needs to go to Overeaters Anonymous!

  • good bird, take a cracker ;)

  • i love how she scolds herself. "don't you bite me" and "RUBY!!" haha, i love this parrot. she puts me in a good mood whenever i watch her. i say some of the things she says too. haha i love her

  • Thats crazy!!!!!

  • lol you were trying to teach him names, but he also learned "can you say"

  • Amazing! "Ruby, no bite. Ruby!" <3 amazing I loved it

  • This bird is more interesting then my wife! My wife just lay in front of the TV with rum raisin ice cream and watch lifetime 24/7!  She only talks to say t"ake out the garbage Robby it smells in here" im getting a divorce and getting a grey african parrot!

  • lmao

    'can you hear me now? good.'

  • When a Grey talks she/he is at their most content. You have a very happy bird there. Maybe get a CD recording of what you want her to say. I can tell she is dying to learn more words.

    Good video.

  • u av a great parrote... love it

  • 1:59 ... "heeellooooo??" ahhahaah!! you have REAL phone trouble!! ;) sooo funny!!

  • the telephone thing was hilarious!

  • FANTASTIC

  • :( i had an african grey like this that talked but we left him out his cage and da cat ate him :'(

  • Sad.....I had a Grey I hand feed for months. The first time it flew it went straight out the back door and up a tree. An Osprey (hawk) had him for dinner. He was only 6 months old and could talk a storm. I'm thinking of getting another one.

  • "hello? hello? hello? hello? hello?" XDD I wish I had a talking parrot!

  • Very interesting video. Ruby's impression of the telephone ringing was great.

  • I have just met Ruby. She is great. I hope there is much more. Thank you for sharing.

  • 6:30 she says ''wut da hell'' i think. my parrot will be able to talk this good one da
