African grey barking like a dog and playing with my dog

Let me start off by saying, THIS is NOT my birds cage, this was just her juvenile cage. She was never locked in that small cage she had the entire bathroom to move about when she wanted to, after she learned to fly is when we got her her new cage and was removed from the bathroom. she now has a kings cage double top playpen.

here is my congo who is barking at the dog and playing with the dog, she gets to rough and crazy so my dog leaves the bathroom, when the dog leaves, my bird lucky trys to follow, only to be kinda blocked by my boyfriend, so my bird calls the dog's name "lily" and then my boyfriend responds and says did she just say lily?

and then my bird responds in context "I dont know"

I guess people don't read info about the video.

The cage was her juvinille cage and she was never locked in. We got her a huge cage which you can see in other videos, we only had that cage still in there, because she was used to that cage cause she was in it since 4 weeks of age, we were weaning her into her new cage

That was awesome! I could absolutely hear her say "I don't know!" before you guys asked if she said that! Amazing! I'm thinking about getting an african grey and I think seeing this just helped me decide that it would be a good choice! Neat video! What a sweet bird!

Hi there, thanks very much for watching and am glad you enjoyed it!

One thing, if you decide to get one, you must realize they are very social creatures and love a lot of attention, so if you have the time and comintment you are right for a grey, but if you don't have time, I would look for a different kind of bird, not trying to be mean, I just let all owners know when they say they want a grey..... it's a lot of work cause they need at least 2 hours of your time a day,

came through, so spend lots of time with your bird when you can and when you go away to work and come home, the bird will come to life when you walk in the room.

When I come back from work or I let her out she regurgitates food for me and gets excited when I come to let her out, she is my baby and the only animal I can have and she acts just like a dog, so I have the best of both worlds... who needs a dog when you have one that can fly and bark as well :)

People seem quick to criticize parrot videos. It's all out of context people. Bigger better cages, multiple bowls of food. The Parrot looks healthy and happy. It isn't exhibiting any stereotypic behavior, it has lots of pretty feathers, it hasn't pulled out it's feathers AND people are clearly interacting with it.

She is a gorgeous grey - beautifully feathered. She is so busy chasing the dog that she doesn't have time to pick feathers. ha

This is one of my favorite parrot videos. I used to raise African greys and this grey is very young and about as excited as I've ever seen any parrot.

SO FUNNY.

Cute.

You know it really doesn't seem like either animal is having much fun in this little interaction so why encourage it?
