He just repeats what the owner says to it, if anything it sounds abused.
What a cute birdy. I'm not sure if he's really abused, but the bird still lets him pet him. [editline]12th August 2011[/editline] It seems like the bird is even laughing.
Okay don't poop.. You pood AUUUGHH

Usually you can see that they're bald on their neck and such. This one is in good hands.

Looks like a string bean.

This one is in good hands.[/QUOTE] [quote]I believe inbreeding due to their popularity in the pet trade causes the reason a parrot plucks. We at Parrot Island actually had a parrot pair that plucked, and pairs where only one of the parrots plucked, we decided to breed them. As soon as the babies were hatched, we hand fed them so that there was no imprinting from the parents. We gave them all the attention they needed to have a healthy, happy, stable life. By the time they were between 2 and 5 years old they were plucking just like their parents. This leads me to believe that this is a genetic problem passed from the parents to their offspring. ... Birds that live in very stable, loving homes upset their owners by plucking, and I am sure that some feel that in some way they are to blame, which of course is not so. Then you have the parrots that live in very unsavory conditions and yet they do not pluck. Therefore I strongly believe that inbreeding is the cause.

Oh god. I want a parrot so much. I would swear at it SO MUCH.
Sounds like a regular fucking Xbox-live player. Shutting your eyes it actually sounds like a conversation between 2 Xbox players
My parrot can impersonate my mom's laugh and when he talks it sounds like he's repeating one of her phone conversations. Needless to say, he's annoying.
[QUOTE=Shadow Core;31689299]He just repeats what the owner says to it, if anything it sounds abused.[/QUOTE] obviously, the parrot abuses the owner.
The ending is comedy gold.
[QUOTE=Shadow Core;31689299]He just repeats what the owner says to it, if anything it sounds abused.[/QUOTE] Not really, the owner swears at it a lot, but it's not like the parrot understands it. It would be abusive if it were his child he was swearing at.
[QUOTE=Shadow Core;31689299]He just repeats what the owner says to it, if anything it sounds abused.[/QUOTE] you clearly don't know anything about african greys
Now I want a parrot just to teach it swear words.
[QUOTE=Shadow Core;31689299]He just repeats what the owner says to it, if anything it sounds abused.[/QUOTE] You post the stupidest shit.
[QUOTE=Shadow Core;31689299]He just repeats what the owner says to it, if anything it sounds abused.[/QUOTE] It doesn't even know what it's saying, as far as it's concerned it's singing in a manner that would impress a human companion.
[QUOTE=Canary;31708017]It doesn't even know what it's saying, as far as it's concerned it's singing in a manner that would impress a human companion.[/QUOTE] Exactly, there is no difference in the word "fuck" and "love" as far as a parrot is concerned.
Parrots love noise. You could be abusing it at the top of your lungs and it just thinks you're really excited. He just picks up what has been said around him and people getting pissed off when he poos on them would be a pretty common thing.

[QUOTE=Shadow Core;31689299]He just repeats what the owner says to it, if anything it sounds abused.[/QUOTE] We have a Moluccan Cockatoo that will scream shut the fuck up when something is being loud. Mainly at my sister's parakeets, she also learned the N-word, and the proper way to use it too. None of us can figure out where she heard it either.
He sounds like Dane Cook or someone to me.
Imagine in parrots knew they were saying? Bro pets
To be honest, the parrot sounds like a human of the same age as he is. Just say fucking a lot and boom, you're a human child.

[QUOTE=BigOwl;31721589]So I can teach my parrot swear words and not be labeled abusive as an owner?[/QUOTE] It's more about the context of how you say it. If you teach them swear words with no context, they'll think it's just a standard call. Alex learned context of language in the same way you teach a child, I've seen a few cockatoos around who know when to say hello and goodbye, as Binladen34's said his bird knows that when there's a lot of noise a common call is shut the fuck up. You need to actually teach them what a word means along with the word itself. If it doesn't mean anything to them, they have no idea what they are doing.
