Brilliant bird that knows how to make lots of sounds, not to mention talk better than half the people I know.

  • BritishEnglish Not a great talker by BritishEnglish, 1142201983 Report sent Spam Reply [+48] Thumbs Up Thumbs Down

    As an animal behaviour researcher working at UCLA I conducted some research into this particular parrot and his vocalisations.

    I conversed at length with this African Grey Parrot , specific name Psittacus erithacus, and in fact found the bird to be extremely boring, and unable to make interesting comment on much other than his diet and sleeping patterns.

    Dolphins, however, are quite a different story, and also make surprisingly good chess players, if trained properly.

      You're one of the funniest people commenting on Metacafé - I've read some of your other idiotic postings and they're hilarious - but what's funnier is all the morons who don't get the joke and disagree with you! Keep up the good work.

                                      It takes an unbelievable amount of time to train a parrot to do that. Amazons are the best talkers of the bird world. So what if he had to be prompted twice a few times ? She's amazing, and so is zoogirl. !0 points !

                                                            This video was taped years ago, and it is so great to see people are still watching and sharing it with friends. Einstein is an incredible bird, and I hope she continues to give people a glimpse of what these animals are capable of learning. They are truly amazing! For those who are still wondering, yes, she says she is a "Superstar" when asked if she is famous.

                                                                                                    I have a friend who also has a grey parrot, and it also likes to talk (although not to an audience or in answer to questions). I think it would make a good contribution to animal shows. Here are some of it's favourite phrases:

                                                                                                    "Jon/Marc, don't slam the door!" (when either Jon or Marc slam the door)

                                                                                                    "Bev, get the phone!" (when the phone is ringing - it's cage is right next to it so it gets annoyed)

                                                                                                    and my favourite:

                                                                                                    "Brrr brrr. Brrr brrr." (imitating the phone, and then sniggering and pointing when some one picks it up)

                                                                                                    Anyone else know of a cool/amazing talking parrot?

                                                                                                    • Darthking It would be better if... by Darthking, 1153073224 Report sent Spam Reply Thumbs Up Thumbs Down

                                                                                                      The parrot is an extremely well trained animal i'm sure, but it would be better if it would answer the questions first time round, rather than having to have a second attempt.

                                                                                                      I'm not disputing that this is one of the funniest and coolest animal video i've ever seen (and the look on the judges faces helped), but i bet there is a parrot out there that could do better, or maybe Einstien could do with a little more training.

                                                                                                      • Pro Moe What does the parrot say.. by Pro Moe, 1153035804 Report sent Spam Reply Thumbs Up Thumbs Down
