Our bird, Sammy, is somewhat obsessed with cups, water bottles, and drinks. She loves mimmicking slurping and straw-drinking sounds, like she does in this video!

  • How did you teach him that walk where he takes a step and then touches the ground with his beak. He reminds me of a little surveyor measuring a distance.

  • @mantis914 I didn't teach her that, but I think she'd doing it to mock the knocking sound when people knock on the office door. She often does it after people come in or out of the door.

    They pick up on the weirdest things!!!

  • How on earth did you teach her that?

  • I just posted a new video about teaching Sammy!

  • I've never seen a pet chattering lory on video! Thanks for posting this :D I have a rainbow lorikeet and two tiels. My lorikeet mkes a gurgling sound while reaching into cups too! Has your had apricot nectar? Mine's obsessed!

  • I'm not sure where birds pick up the gurgling sound! I've heard one of our greys recently making "pop-pop" sounds, like popping bubbles! Where she got that, I have NO idea! For food, our lories eat powder nectar and liquid nectar daily. We have almost 500 birds, and they get fresh fruit, although they are picky and don't eat all the options given to them. The lories get no nuts or seeds! Lories have become my favorite because they are the most playful - but they're the messiest too!
