Einstein Growls when the Kitchen Rug is picked up

[ChristineDaee1]

SCARED THE CORN OUT OF ME!!!!

[CacherStellar16]

Our Maxi Pionus does the same thing with pillows! I had bought my mom a pillow for christmas without really thinking about it when my mom opened it all hell broke loose. About a week later she got to the pillow and attacked it. :P

[MarioandMartin]

whats that under his tail

[TheStardust12]

RIP he\ad phone users

[TheRAWRingDuck]

VAMPIRE PARROT :OOO

0:54 - 1:00

[LeftForDead86]

Made in china

[Intelliraptor]

I love how she gets all scared of the rug then hangs off upside down to get closer to it ^^ My parrot does that when things scare / confuse him too, he goes all fluffy but then he comes closer to look at it.. -.-

[winxmewmelodymoonfan]

Can she fly or did u clip her wings?

[4zebird]

@winxmewmelodymoonfan We clip her wings, but she can still fly-hop.

[masivemonstermamajam]

that would scare the shit out of me in the middle of the night

[watercatfish]

man mine does that too when i try to vacume :P

[cheesepichu123]

It sounds like my brother when he grumbles "Nooooooo!!!" and starts his lil screamy growl thing XDDD

[taratkd]

Poor girl I hate it when she sounds so upset.

[Gracevking]

My brother played this when I was asleep... I thought it was some kind of zombie bursting into the house! O_o

[magaliveangel]

I enjoy watching Einstein's videos a lot!! She is so cute, funny and amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing them. May I ask you something? How do you know if these "big parrots" are male or female? I have one and we have always thought it's a "girl" but we are not sure of that. I hope you can give me some advice. Thank you =)

[4zebird]

@magaliveangel You will need to go to an Avian Vet and get a DNA test. They will draw some blood to do the test. Search "Parrot DNA sexing" for more info.

[duckieeXXOO]

thumbs up if you kinda laughed. :3

[Padusic]

Haha, einstein is so random <3

[belmeablack]

She sounds like a dinosaur xD

[IWatchYourPets]

I embedded one of your videos on my pet sitting website and every morning I enjoy picking a new Einstein video out to watch. She is such a charming and funny creature, and it just makes me feel happy inside when I start my day watching her antics. She must be such a wonderful friend to you. Thank you for sharing her here.

[4zebird]

@IWatchYourPets So glad you enjoy Einstein! There will soon be a sequel to this video. Titled, "Einstein gets even with the kitchen rug!" Hope to upload it soon! (Sure wish there was a Bird Pet sitting service where we live!)

[NinjaYoshiName]

He sounds like a dinoswaur. A MINI GODZILLA!!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!! x]

[Gemfyre]

Golly Einstein! What a carry on!

[andrij66]

Here be Dragons!!!!!!! A monster is under the rug!!!!!

(Maybe that'd be a new song to sing: Who let the Dragons out! Who! Who! WhoWho!!!!!)

[dxjohncenacaz]

"You did real good"

"Mmkayy."

LMFAO!! When Einstein said "Mmkay.", I cracked up so hard. The way she says it is just so hilarious to me. It sounds old, weird, but funny. xD

Subscribed.

[suikerdiamant]

@dxjohncenacaz I think his owner said 'Mmkay' ^^;

I didn't see Einstein's beak move...al though I don't know if parrots need to move them to do human talk or to make noises ^^;

[grandmaman2009]

I have only heard my Grey growl when my tortoise surprised him ..

[apathy24]

Ive watched Einstein so many times now and never gets old...I did not realize parrots would growl like this! I bet it is much louder in person :)

[pesosTJHAY]

god einstein likes hard core music xD

[fireblaze1234567891]

umadbro

*troll faic*

[Dioneisis]

POOR baby!!! MY DYH amazon Hates it when i wear a baseball hat.. She dosent freak like this poor baby but she gets pissed off.... She also dosent like it when i get my hAIR cut short even though it looks good and she nips my ear good if she dosent approve...Kinda like a wife Or GF........ makes you wonder...

[msljyoung]

Einstein is cute.

[247Dogsrock]

Wait wait wait He sounds like Darth vader whoo hoo bird :D lol

[247Dogsrock]

If you guys evewr decided to move out you would have to sedate him to get the rug in the moving truck lol I love him My bird does the same thing if i move the rug really quickly my motion sickness and I like his noise its tough just move the rug and put him on the counter if there was like an intruder I will teach my bird to do that :D

[SigurdHeathen]

What a compelling reaction... never seen anything like that.

[ethanbrettwilliams]

Problem, bird?

[LouisLambert]

Um, I empathize with Eistein, but what a hassle. I love owning a betta fish. :-P

[munch06]

awww she telling you to leave the damn rug alone lol she like biiiiiiitch thats my rug PUT IT BAAAAAAAAACK! lol

[fledis]

why did you do that ? !

[wolfishblue79]

That bird needs an exorcism!!

[mvpc0uch2131]

when she screeches she sounds like a nasgul rider off of lord of the rings.

[aisharaven]

I don't like that rug either

[taratkd]

Awww poor einstein I love this bird and hate to hear it upset.

[shaydyknight]

raptor?

[rachelizabeth2]

Haha awww it's interesting to see her "other side" ... she always looks so happy in all of your videos! Attack of the killer rug!

[NiceSkiMask]

She would lose her mind in my house. We do nightly rug rotations and have been known to have rug battles at least every other day...

[134eevee]

she sounds like a dog

[Luracarreo100]

sounds like an alarm XD

[quorkers]

it sounds like one long tortured NOOOOOO!

[mariacns00]

I think Einstein was covered with something, like a blanket or cloth at a young age in order to be captured or maybe just accidently and still remembers this scary ordeal. I wonder if she is covered at night?

[HumpinGrannys]

Sounds like Einstein is throwing a temper tantrum and could use a time out

[hebneh]

I wouldn't call that a "growl", it's more like a horrible, unending scream.

I suspect this bird is reverting back to its ancient roots as a dinosaur, and making noises from the dawn of time.

[joeypriolo]

Hah... So thats y my African grey doesn't like the new perch I put in her cage;she is mortified by the site of her cage changing, she was neglected by her previous owners and got use to the cage... Oh and this is what I think Einstein was thinking... PUT THAT F***ING THING DOWN!!! GOD KNOWS WHAT THE H**** IS UNDER THAT THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[scotsguard2011]

My African Grey (JOJO) does this when I Vacuum his cage. Its a noise that is chilling and horrible.

[VinnyG253]

I work with Autistic children, some of them, even going a different route home is a terrifying thing to them, do you suppose that this could be similar? The fact Einstein does not enjoy her surroundings to be changed?

[4zebird]

@VinnyG253 It's true, Einstein doesn't like her surrounding to change! Parrots get very used to things being a certain way. However, we have had this rug forever and she has always reacted this way. In fact when I buy a replacement I have to buy the same kind. I have 2 in the closet to use in the future. And I am always shopping for ones that look like this one!

[scoutalex21]

@4zebird She must hate watching extreme makeover home edition!

[ajs3939]

@VinnyG253 maybe she as sensitive ears might sound scary to her

[cutetoa30]

omg my african grey does the exact same thing when i pick up my kitchen rug lmao!!!

[Snakethoot]

What is this demon?!

[emilyxdaniels]

It is funny how animals will be scared of random things. My kitty is scared of marching for some reason. It doesn't even have to be loud or threatening... if you just pick your knees up really high and walk in a rhythmic manner she totally flips out.

[Kan2209]

Blue blanket!

[Shaylob]

How cute! I mean it's obviously not pleased, but the range with that screech is incredible.

[afgreyparrot]

My African Grey does the same thing when I pick up a rug...

[BlackEvanescence]

Awww, poor bird!! 8C

It's so normal to us and so scary to her.

I hope if you ever get any burglars in the house, they try to pick the rug up... c:

[andrielisilien]

I want this recording in place of the panic button for my car :D

[retzykid]

awh poor lil' girl, but i think i rather have this on my ipod then justin or miley ;)

[madputain]

It's a fucking velociraptor from Jurassic Park

[4zebird]

@Dummy288 I just don't know why she does this. We have removed the rug when she isn't there and when she returns she constantly looks at the floor, as if to say, "Where is the rug?". The rug just needs to be there. (For her and me.) I have 2 replacements for when this one gets thrown out.

[wannabeserpento99]

fucking dinosaur death metal ;D

[trisha1234567]

why doesnt he like the rug? whats wrong with the rug?

[MasterJimboe]

lol "INTRUDER ALERT, INTRUDER ALERT, INTRUDER ALERT, INTRUDER ALERT!!!!"

[wanagi006]

she is not amused!! lmao

[Vader30400]

1:04 i think she's part bat lolz

[Venaloid]

I'm told I used to be that way when I was a baby and something was out of place, thus yielding an OCD child who grew into me.

[cherrypie5195]

Yeah, I would just as mad for you moving it X-)

[dk4ever2000]

It can be a alarm at night if I.hearers that noise I will run for my life

[jennybrown1]

that is is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo funny!

[xoMISSxoTAYxo]

that would drive me insane

[wandilina]

Even like that she's still cute...:P..I love her...Congrat to you guys for taking such good care fr her....i saw that she has toys in many places of your house...good for you..i've got a little bird of my onw..but it was a present and it was not a baby..so is harder...it's been several months and he's just getting use with me touching and picking him up...

[Kimbelle10]

That's so odd...Lol!

I know myGerman Shephard didn't like foil (the noise I guess)--but he knew which drawer we had it in....but during the recent weeks we used to keep it in a spot so he didn't see it...but he always remembered and every time you opened the drawer..the poor things ears would go back, tail in between his legs and he'd go running off into a corner somewhere...

It was the strangest thing when I experienced it but he calms down if he hears it closes a second time and a pet! Lol!

[aquaprin]

this bird should have her own t.v. show =)

[aquaprin]

if i heard that sound in someones house i'd never come back.......O.O

[Lainer1]

That's so sad!

[h00hah]

The dude just wants his rug back...

[wolfmansilver117]

is it just me or did she sound like a raptor from Jurassic park lol.

[HayleyNerf95]

lmao at 1:00!

[boogie504]

Does he think its a bigger bird or something?

[Immortuos]

death metal parrot!!

[gostflame380]

lol scared of the carpet

[Saradamon]

so very tempted to download this and use it as a sound for my alarm clock... but it might frighten... my street... XD

[cRAYz3d]

i would have laughed so hard if it fell at 1:02

[HarrowingWinter]

Rug burglar alarm activated! PUT DOWN THE RUG! PUT IT DOWN FOR THE LOVE OF GAWD, WOMAN, PUT THE RUG DOWN! IT MIGHT KILL YOU OMFGWTFBBQ!!!

[XxXsmurfymurfyXxX]

WHAT A NINJA BIRD just goes upside down yelling then brings itself up :D what a wonderful bird

[DestructionToEvil90]

Sounds like a dinosaur.

[3wolFlamE]

spam alert :)) 

[WoodenToaster]

DON'T PICK THAT UP THAT'S WHERE I LEFT MY POOP!

[CarolinaCajun12]

Is that a parrot or Velociraptor? lol

[lps480]

hey its fred ! :P

[Schwarz2448]

My grey hates anything brown and tubular. She screams at paper towel rolls, toilet paper rolls, and thick rolled-up paper we use for her cage. If its flat she is fine.

[ibanedfrmrs2]

now you just need to set up an anti-theft alarm with that rug. if it moves by an intruder, einstein will be sure to let you know.

[SailorBalance]

Parrots have a completely different view of the world. They see and hear things humans don't. What human and parrot see together is one thing to the human and something else to the parrot. My parot, Sunshine, is able to see the true nature of people. I can do that too, but she's able to do it in seconds. It takes me hours of concentration to do the same. That's why I love parrots. They're like us but different as well.

[nintendork64]

Parrot OCD, maybe?

[coffeecraver]

I do not want to be on her bad side...

[dilosumx]

loooool omg she freaked out bless her

[CrazyCutesie]

Wow that really could get annoying really very fast.

[pullahoko]

I guess you could say you RUGGED HIM THE WRONG WAY!

[Teraldine]

@pullahoko LOLOLOLOL - "rugged him the wrong way"...struck me so funny....can't stop laughing!!!

[PAVONEZORZ]

@pullahoko YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

[DDDowney]

@pullahoko get out.

[IAmViviLee]

wow, that's a terrible noise..

it's funny how some animals get so scared of suck random things. like my friend's dog who is absolutely TERRIFIED of books. especially when you flip all the pages at once. he start shaking and runs away

[danimeman]

sounds like something on Jurassic Park

[janelpopp]

@danimeman That's exactly what I was thinking, something out of Jurassic Park. Wow, your bird is very overly-dramatic. My bird would've just flown away. No noises for a minute and a half. Just a simple fly. Your bird just stayed there and screamed for an excessive amount of time...geez...It must get fairly annoying...

[redcoyotesden]

@janelpopp .... all greys are drama queens... chuckle. they're like the woody allens of parrots because of their intelligence. and they see more colors and better visual acuity than we do, so god only knows what einstein was seeing. mine is a drama queen about black purses, black boxes... and he loves blondes ( which i am not, but then again, i have raspberries and corn, and blondes don't)

[gonabeatrucker]

What would happen if you didn't put the rug down? Would she start getting violent or would she just never shut up? lol

[4zebird]

We've never tried, but my guess would be that she would never shut up.

[coolfool182]

i wish i could afford on of these birds......i just love the breed they are so smart loving and funny....but to get one cost an arm and a leg.....me being 15 that is lol

[XDeathofheavenX]

When it goes under the draw...it look's possessed

[Jaxton98]

she sounds like a cat in a fite mixed w/a whistle? i think? XD

[starfirefan1999]

OMG MAH GOD PUT THE FU*KING RUG DOWN IT SCARY THE DEVIL CAN POP OUT LIKE MAH FRIEND THE WEASLE FUCK FUCK FUCK OH MAH GOD *lays down backwards* IMA CHECK OH GOD PUT THE RUG DOWN IT FUCKIN SCARY :0

[BlackyDaWolf]

I have a parrot! She doesn't like her cage though even though it's huge...She will hang from the wire and say Help! Lemme out!

[shirubi90]

I had a bird like this..it yelled help a lot. not sure why. heard it was cuz its last owners were killed and the bird picked up them yelling. it was sad.

[SyntheticJewel]

Wow! What a response! XD

Poor thing, wonder what makes her so afraid of that rug being lifted...

[SkyFoxCode]

my bird has a fear of animal print. I think it's something about the shape that birds are afraid of.

[c3a1t20h8y25]

0:59 o. o

[0zema]

he saw a gateway to hell!

[initman01]

on 4 or 5 seconds the bird fluffs its feathers up briefly, could you tell me what that means please?

[4zebird]

It can mean a couple of things. I'm bigger than you think, so you better stay away, or as a greeting. Einstein does it a lot when she greets us or we come into the room. For her it is not threatening... more of a non-verbal "Howdy!"

[initman01]

@4zebird

oh ok cos i think iv seen my parrot use this in both ways, not so much as threatening any more just when we first got her, now like you say she does it when i approach her as if she cant be botherd to talk an just stares at me for abit lol mainly watching or listining to what im sayin lol

[redcoyotesden]

@4zebird when mine is on the hallway floor and i come out of a room, his hackles also rise and one gets the sense that he's wondering if i see him down there or if he's unsafe under my feet. in falconry, raising their feathers is called "rousing." birds can also "rouse up" when sick.

[TheMkBroadcast]

@4zebird my parrot does that when its ready to play/learn

[redcoyotesden]

@initman01 it can be part of a greeting with a familiar person, or body language for feeling alarmed, and they also fluff up when they don't feel very good. you just have to know your parrot well enough to read them in their own language

[Asymmatrix]

"Cue exorcist music"

[stefpod77]

what does tat bird like about those rugs so much?!

[Drakinus1988]

i love it how he hangs there looking at the rug :D

[soldierboy296]

what was under the rug?

[23BiGFailure]

Er...

Ear

Rape

[Lunarbs]

maybe she discovered a portal to another world with parrot eating monsters and never wants to go back

[soldierboy296]

has she been threaerned sry for spelling long ago or somthink

[californiawaitingme]

lol it sounded like he saw saying ''error;; XD

[SexVoltage420]

LOL she's like a malfunctioning burglar alarm! Like the carpets being stolen. xD

awwwh birds are so sensitive.

[xkissingkayx]

sounds like an exorscism to me. freaky

[Youdsavedme]

Wow that was amazing! O_O XD

And are you sure she is 100% bird? At 1:00 she looks like a bat! XD

And she sounded almost like my cat when she did that growl!

[cybersuebee]

Grey's are so smart, but such big chickens! lol

[AutumnGracy]

OMFG PUT IT BACK!!! D:<

[snakelady21]

Poor baby!!! :(

[Akytalusia]

Einstein's perfect raptor impression.

[thehampton2009]

What the.. wow

[888Friday]

He still sings better than Justin Bieber or Miley Cyrus...

[manti5h00k]

@888Friday lmfao! xD

[MajorKirby9000]

when my parrot's threatand like that, she screams like a girl and then makes plush sounds and mumbles.

[piddypatt]

I am crazy about this bird! Playing the videos for my grey....she talks back to Einstein.

[Pozorrogo]

lol shes about to have an anxiety attack about it

I love the little "tweet" she did at the end.. its like.." Im OK now!!"

[lostintravise]

lmao

[monimstarfox]

sounds like a busted up klaxon

[DsAngel1211]

lol that is hilarious, that bird is one of a kind. but y is he so scared of the rug in the first place.

[strannox]

ZOMBIE BIRD !! omg :o

[AustinAlred]

OMG I lol'd so hard!

[LecciLeclerc]

NO NO NOOOOO! The DIRTY FLOOR CAN KEEL US!

[coco1963f]

wow lol

[SimplyRisque]

Did your Grey come from Africa? Maybe if she did, she was captured with a blanket or something and that's why she's deeply afraid of that.

[PinkyWontWork]

@SimplyRisque WTF? You were late when they were passing out common sense weren't you? If the bird was from Africa it'd be very difficult to deal with since it'd be "W-I-L-D" and second birds don't become afraid of blankets if they're picked up by them..it's how the vets do it. They use towels or small blankets. We play with both our greys like that every day, we wrap them in blankets..and macaws and caiques love blankets and hiding in them.

[SimplyRisque]

@PinkyWontWork Uh, no, I have had birds that came over from Africa that have been tamed and certain things make them freak out. Birds can have bad experiences with things and be afraid of them for the rest of their lives, just like humans. So before you try to look all bad ass, consider that. So cool with the little 'common sense' line, where did you find an insult generator with that one?

[PinkyWontWork]

@SimplyRisque Right on...I hurt your feelings with that one huh? Cool, it shouldn't be THAT easy.

[SimplyRisque]

@PinkyWontWork Yeah, you got me so bad, you keyboard warrior.

lol piece of shit.

[PinkyWontWork]

@SimplyRisque AHAHAH! excellent! 

[ifuseekamy]

Does Einstein like almonds? My Grey ADORES them.

[GrimIZ987]

She's part pterodactyl!!!!!!

[big0bombs0go0kabang]

That's cute but...REALLY scary.

[mrpancakes420]

*car alarm activated*

[Skyla100]

My Skyla does the same thing with our rugs. lol

[Taino871]

This is A REAL MOM! she picked up on it Very Fast! Great Job! You are also helping me raise my own Boy!

[TaggerungRules]

She sounds like a dinosaur lol so funny

[MafiaofDamned]

[snaginlol]

sounds like the antichrist
