  • Einstein .................. bird

  • superstááár:)

    

  • @daniellemarie91010 lmao how did u noticed that lol

  • @daniellemarie91010 no it's just a seed shell.

  • awesome birdieeee

  • How on earth do those people train these birds? What are their secrets? How do they get these birds to know what their names are? For instance, naturally they repeat the whole sound or sentence they hear, so how do you train them to answer to your question and not repeat your question like: You: "What is your name?". Bird: "My name is Pete." or Bird: "Pete.", and not: Bird repeating: "What is your name?" or: You: "Your name is Pete." Bird: "My name is Pete." and not Bird: "Your name is Pete."

  • @Pantbera

    I think you train them to repeat directly, though it's different with different birds.

    I haven't any idea but I'd try saying (you) 'spaceshipes go -then the noise-' the bird going either 'spaceships go -noise-' or just the noise. I don't know. ^^,

  • Soooooo intelligent.

  • cool ..

    

  • She drop all seeds!

  • I feel kinda bad for the trainer because it must be really nerve-racking. I have a bit of stage fright. I bet it's especially scary when the crowd doesn't react or when einstein says something that she wasn't supposed to

  • And I think Ein is a very lucky bird. She has only performed with the one trainer. Awesome enrichment for the sweet bird.

  • Einstein is an intelligent bird. She trained hard to learn that routine. I bet she drives everyone nuts on the days when she doesn't do shows. For those that think its wrong to train birds this way, these parrots are too naturally intelligent to be left to learn on their own or just casually trained. The zookeepers put a lot of time and effort into keeping the birds minds occupied. You wouldn't object to apes being trained to perform.

  • woooooa woooooa !!!! lollll!

  • im gonna get 1:)wen im 20:(

  • love this bird sooo awsome want 1 :)

  • @daniellemarie91010 ha ha ha he did lol

  • I love this bird! Take me with you!

  • how can anyone not like this???? you people are insane!

  • Wow, a massively intelligent creature performing cheap tricks for 'tickles'. Not depressing at all.

  • LIke if you ABSOLUTELY LOOOVEEE 2:36

  • I thought this was amazing till I realized the bird was only trained to say a sequence of things, thus the treat after getting each one right.

    When birds say things on their own, it's much more interesting

  • @kozmon0t look at other einstein videos he does stuff on his own

  • Dude, she's hot.

  • @daniellemarie91010 i dont see it poop :{

  • 59 people don't like animals, specially talking parrots.

  • Einstien is very clever, but I notice she is doing most of the same tricks from her other videos.

  • Einstein is just the best parrot talking about clever. how can you dislike this!

  • This Parrot Is Just Soo Clever How Can You Dislike!

  • Who may dislike this? This is awesome!

  • Amazing

  • 4:42 that man who isnt laughing must be one of the 59 dislikes.

  • @acerdude3 lol thats funny when i checked to see i laughed a lil lol.

  • WHAT A BORING AUDIENCE WOW.

  • @daniellemarie91010 noup... not poop.. some seeds.

  • @daniellemarie91010  LoL good shit eye! Wow A bird pooped OMG!!!!

  • Its great what the owner has been able to do. Animals are so amaizing♥

  • 59 noobs dont have a talking parrot

  • @daniellemarie91010 Or part of the seed/nut that she's given.

  • remarkable*

  • einstein's just responding with practised replies to verbal cues, not unlike other trained animals, and to me not something that warrants a TED talk. for a truly remarkle example of animal intelligence, check out Alex the Grey Parrot instead. that bird boggles my mind.

  • @fatamoeba I can only agree. Einstein's true potential hasn't been tapped. Grey Parrots are extremely smart and to see one being treated like a well-trained dog is sad.

  • When he says hello, he sounds like Jar-Jar

  • hello how are you

  • @daniellemarie91010 GET A LIFE!

  • *achooo!*

    Aww, that was too cute XD

  • LOL at "Even if it doesn't have a laser?" "Bi-bi-bi-biooo!"

  • look. the bird wants to talk the whole time in the microphone :D

  • and what do pirates like to drink? beer . LMFAO i lov her!

  • wow the audience didn't even give at some of the remarkable sounds this bird made

  • @daniellemarie91010 this is food you idiot !

  • einsten is a girl!?!?

  • This will make folks never think of birds the same again as far as learning capabilities. This is truly an amazing parrot and one fantastic African Gray. I also appreciate that this bird looks very relaxed and has great looking plumage

  • WOW!!

  • I work at a parrot refuge and the greys are the best parrot to work with. I call them the physicists of the parrot world because they break everything down to its basic elements.Put a box or a watermelon in with them and within hours it is just a bunch of tiny pieces. They are very tame and very curious more than other parrots. Grey All the Way!

  • if you watch her home videos of this bird the bird can say hell alot more things than this and say longer phrases.It very cool to see an animale talk like this.

  • pewpewpewpew!

  • Jeffree Star hahah that parrot is realy smart one .. HUGE LIKE!!!!!

  • A like for the Grey and a Like for the trainer.....

  • She is tall!:O

  • @daniellemarie91010 nope it was a peace of seed

  • I want a bird like that! I love Einstein!

  • Definitely more talented than any bird I've seen.

  • fart project lol

  • her face is stuffed with sunflower seeds!

  • When she speaks she uses keywords so the Parrot no's what she wants him to say.

  • this is cool but it wud get old fast :(

    cuz shes only using keywords to make the bird respond

    but it must have been difficult to train the bird

  • wow !!! amazing... alot of hardwork...

  • he's talks like steven hawking

  • "if the children of the Uganda need a dance partner" 2:18

  • AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • I'm impressed by the volume of words and the speed that both the speaker and parrot were able to perform. It was smooth for the most part and the bird didn't even seem to think about any of it. Very well done.

  • @Sweet05cts I'd like to see you train a parrot to repeat a variety of phrases and sounds.

  • Stil love it ♥

  • so cute!!!!

  • 1:47 she shits

  • "hey babe" XD

  • Oh, this is amazing

  • "Oh my god, Oh my god, Oh my god!" Adorable <3
