This is my Macaw named Skittles. Yeah, most parrots are smart and do neat tricks... mine's a retard! :)
fine, whatever, but just to clear up everything else - My bird is NOT RETARDED - JUST SILLY, FUNNY, AMUSING, are those better words??? She is very intellegent, she is out of her cage all day, she gets TONS of attention, NO - she's not bored, she has a TON of activities and toys to play and chew with. NO I AM NOT A BEGINNER BIRD OWNER, I've worked with parrots for years. I just thought it was funny, but sure, if i think it's funny, and you don't - then i'm retarded. ok, fine by me - boohoo - jesssh! people don't have a sense of humor these days... well, mind you my humor is a little more twisted, and being called a retard is a mild name for me ; ) - Just don't make fun at how I walk - ok?

By Komodo Dragon 1161283186 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI think Skittles is very cool, and it's okay to believe your pets aren't . . . um, gifted. (Or are they "differently gifted" now? I've lost track!) I love my dog dearly, but I must admit to continually wondering at his ability to pull off masterful stupidity. Anyone who reacts with such hostility to this poster's humor needs to lighten up in a big way! Cute bird, rdyfrdy, and reLAX ya'll!
By mommalo 1145861840 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeyou've got a great parrot. he/she si just too cute...and it's not retarted just special and social because he seeks to interact with the parrot in the mirror. it is truly a nice pet you have! congrats! and the name fits him/her too!! ;)
By eXisTence 1145531199 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethank you, she is truly unique. alot of fun, and alot of work. and yes, she does bang her face in the mirror.... : p
By rdyfrdy 1145573271 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWell, you have my support as being an excellent bird owner, so it seems, and I'd encourage you to keep posting movies of Skittles up here ^_^ I'd do the same with my bird, but I can't afford a camcorder. I'd like to see more of Skittles, if no one else does. If my roommate didn't despise animals, I'd have a bird of my own like her (my conure is roughly the size of a parakeet).
By Jesserah 1145504892 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethis site is for fun. if its not your bag, move on. if you like it, then cool. EVERYONE has a different sense of humor. not need to flame those who have a different one than yours. then you are little better than those idiots blasting each other away cause of different beliefs.
By Kaijyuu 1145499514 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeand the sensible award goes too.... : ) rock on!
By rdyfrdy 1145573181 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI thought skittles was funny. I have a dog who is retarded too, so I feel your anquish. He doesn't play catch, tug, nothing. But he IS obsessed with his weiner. (even though he's been, you know..fixed!)
By A. 1142023281 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveHere's to ALL the smart, intellent pets that make ours look stupid!! :D - but i love her, she's such a dope, she makes me laugh!
By rdyfrdy 1142124891 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removenice looking bird,but i have seen a lot better retards.lol
By splinterozman 1237520290 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemovePost a sequel! I love birds! Macaws and parrots are cool! (Unless they screech when bored...)
By Durhamntx 1205844069 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removei have a parrot does the same thing and realised that there was a reflection in the perspex - they thing there is another bird there hence why he bashes the perspex with his beak and "shows off" -
By Tunacowboy 1188997053 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI've actually been searching the internet for info on the "mental conditions" .......for real.........of Macaws. GOOGLE sent me to you! Enjoyed the vid! Been breeding parrots...mostly Macaws....for 20 years. Still love what I do
By macawmadam 1174504858 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removemental conditions? my husband seems to think she has... all my friends and family call her evil, bird specialist say that she will grow out of alot of "un-wanted behaviours" she does have, example tracking and attacking anyone female or child (she loves hearing people scream i think) amoung other things... i'm still learning with her, and i love to talk to any bird specialist on their feed back. if you think you can give me any feedback on her, i would love to hear from you. (i've been around birds for about 20 years now, no specialist by any means, but i am a bird person, and is my first macaw) :)
By rdyfrdy 1174580826 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemovePolitical correct speak on this subject may be "developmentally disabled" or "neurologically challenged". I'm not talking about un-wanted behavior or "acting out" or something quite common in parrots assigned a term used for a human mental condition....
By macawmadam 1175292213 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove"dis-placed aggression"....or even "hormones" kicking in.....a good parrot behaviorist can help you with that. I was referring to a bird that is as sweet as can be.....super sweet, but acts like she doesn't have more than half a brain. Very poor foot/mouth co-ordination,

By macawmadam 1174504754 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeu shudnt get upset bout stupidity comments on here… Skittles would b sitting fluffed up looking listless if he was bored! I hear him (before his wings open) saying ’Im hot!’ Am I right? And the way, when u say, ’r u coming to Mum?’ that he holds out his claw to u’ in a ’catch me then’ gesture is amazing! I think he’s a complete show-off! He reminds me of my CAG, whose just the same…..
Gotne more vids of him?
sorry, i should say that it is the video that is called "cute parrot"
By rdyfrdy 1174581123 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethanks! i love her, she makes me laugh everyday and wouldn't trade her for anything, i think she has my kind of sense of humor ;) and yes i do have another video posted on this site, if you put "skittles" into the search bar, you will see the other, it's short, but i love it! :D
By rdyfrdy 1174580961 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveAhahahaha great parrot loved it :)

By djconklin 1169880988 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeshamrocks are awesome :) poor skittles had a hard time getting himself right side up on that perch again, lol. i think its cute that he likes to babble nonsense- my bird usually yells and screams obscenities when he gets bored.
By keii 1147558623 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeis very pretty, I love that coloring and a very suiting name
By PMRGchik 1145508006 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethanks, it suits her, it was either that or "fruit loops!" hehe
By rdyfrdy 1145573055 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveHaven't you ever had a dog that was, like, big and kind of lunky or whatever and you'd affectionately call him a dopey dog... you don't mean it. She obviously doesn't think her bird is -really- retarded, it's a term of endearment. This bird is clearly not neurotic... that does happen in underloved birds but it doesn't appear so here. Stop giving her a hard time, she was nice enough to share her home movie with you.
If you've got any more video of Skittles I think that would be fun if you posted it. Don't let them razz you. I am curious, can you translate what we're hearing Skittles say? Because I can't understand some of it.
And thanks again for posting your video.
thanks! your too cool! and yes, she is loved to death! (she demands it! hehe)
well, skittles is a female, and ever since i got her, i always say "good girl!" but somehow she picked up "good boy!" ? hehe and she's also saying "byebye" and "up" (that's her favorite word) she follows me around the house everywhere and calls me "mum" - today, she is going rollerblading. just like the family dog! and i'm glad you enjoyed skittles! thank you! : )
This is sooooo funny! you parrot is atotal retard!
By Asby76 1145503836 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThank you - someone agrees with me!!! hehe
By rdyfrdy 1145572670 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveIts rad! my dog is retarded...does "likes to eat poop"count as retarded?
By heshmafia 1145668176 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove2nd most intelligent pet bird next to the African Grey. Pepper passed away but when he was alive he was smart enough to unlock every opening in his cage and even when it was locked with a clip. Parrots are very smart pets but also require plenty of attention and lots of care. Definitely not a pet for a beginner.
By turborl7 1145491262 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI love Skittles. She is so darn funny! I used to have a cat that ran into every wall in the house at dinnertime.
By Geohound Jason 1145488683 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removethat bird has a few issues but looks set to be a legend, i suggest a sequal in which it meets superman and gets in a fight with godzilla, yeah but no-doubt that bird rocks
By scottsball 1145469642 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeyou better believe she rocks! her favorite band to listen to is Queen! ; )
By rdyfrdy 1145572601 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveRealy, made me smile bigtime :D
Oh you have a nice voice aswell ^^
nice voice? thanks - but you should see my face!!! hehe
By rdyfrdy 1145484844 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWell, he may be a retard, but he's an adorable retard ^_^ I love hyacinth macaws. I used to have a blue and gold macaw who loved to bite people and yell "ow!" before they could. He also liked hitting himself over the head with his toys.
By Jesserah 1145333504 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI LOVE Hyacinth Macaws as well. One day I would like to have one. The one I have is called a Shamrock Macaw (Scarlet
By rdyfrdy 1145364192 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveMy bad ^^; got them mixed up. I myself have always wanted a rose-breasted cockatoo, but I don't think I'd have time to care for it. I have a green-cheek conure right now who's always demanding attention as it is.
By Jesserah 1145366020 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveAt least he's funny retarded, that's what counts....
By madhatter 1143157487 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThank you! YES - Someone gets it!!!! Skittles is FUNNY retarded!!! Skittles LOVES goofing off! :)
By rdyfrdy 1143233819 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removelove these kind of birds...used to have a double yellow headed amazon parrot
By Salt_n_Pepper 1142849284 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveCan you post some footage on Metacafe please?? I'd REALLY love to see it, and I'm sure everyone else would too!!! :@)
By zf8 1145470569 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeyou seem to be more of a retard than that parrot or anyones pets.
By Marcizzle 1145476561 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removehey! now your getting personal! i can't help it if i was born that way - your mean!
You know, it's not really acceptable to call someone retarded, whether or not they genuinely have learning difficulties. However, let's stretch the rule for a moment. Did it ever cross your mind that you might be the retarded one for bothering to reply in this manner to a comment that plainly isn't meant to be taken seriously? My guess is that English isn't your first language, or you're American, hence your inability to understand irony. You C**ting cretin!
By zf8 1145478605 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removehey thanks for sticking up for me!!! people post the stupidest comments!!!
By rdyfrdy 1145484971 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Remove....I think you'll find she was calling me retarded, not you rdyfrdy. Now I'm wondering if she got it right at all?
By zf8 1145486538 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeyou guys made it all effed up. anyway to zf8, if youre saying im retarded cuz im either american or speak english as a second language, then what the F**k is there left (besides being a british person, to which i will not argue with further because I suspect you are british and i dont want to hear any more from you). oh and i love your inability to understand sarcasm, you damned cretin (wtf? why dont you just say retard rather than cretin, your attempt at intelligence is flawed.)
By Marcizzle 1145503293 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removetry hanging some toys or something interesting on your perch for the bird to play with. Clearly he was trying to get your attention and play with something. Looks like a healthy bird tho and at least you seem to have interesting things for your bird to stand on.
By angelem8 1142821210 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI think that you are the one who\'s retard, not the bird!
By jane 1142795145 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removewhatever.... there always has to be some idiot making lame comments on things they have no clue about. listen jane - my bird gets more love, attention and is more looked after than YOUR kids! So NAHHHHHHH!
And I can see why you have that tough plastic protecting the wall (or door). But she's no retard.. she made it onto the Internet didn't she?
By Swanie 1142538515 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveParrots need wood to chew on and interesting toys. Give him these and you will find he is not a retard.
By oley 1142147184 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removeactually, she is really spoiled and has a ton of chewable and interesting toys, she's just very young and acts like a total goof b/c she loves lots of attention. she is smart... when she wants to be.
By rdyfrdy 1142270274 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThe bird is not retarded. Birds attack their reflections all the time. The way the bird climbed onto her hand is a trained behavior. The only retard is the person who posted this clip.
By shaggyeren 1145489286 Reply Spam [-1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThey don't do that when they are bored. She looks like a happy bird to me :-)
