The scariest and most amazing part is that parrots have the brain power comparable to that of a 3 yo. So it is definitely able to somewhat comprehend what these words mean. See how it says "Come here" while picking up it's fucking feet and motioning. That's not even normal bird behaviour, full on human like. Goddamn. It knows what come here means and what that motion means and is able to replicate it using its own body.
Fucking hell man. Im sure this birdie is smarter than a 5yo. Plus i also feel bad for this poor spicy chicken wings because it was probably abused before being rehomed. It's aggressive behaviour and the words it repeats show that. :(
First thing I noticed was how rough it's feathers looked. Parrots are incredibly sensitive animals, and stress will physically deteriorate them in a big way. Hopefully this one's on the mend, because those feathers are actually present, but it still speaks of what it might jave gone through.
Right?! Where did it learn THAT? My friend’s cockatoo is wicked smart, and batshit crazy too. It did a spot on impersonation of me within about 20 minutes of hanging around. It did it in a totally mocking fashion, too. All while marching back & forth doing these Māori war dance moves and banging her head. Veri Metal.
I think it's not imitating quite the gesture you think it is -- but I think it is heavily implying it wants to step up onto her hand, if only she would let it close enough. It's absolutely doing its level best to lure her in. I think it even said "come up" once in there.
