African Grey Parrot (Red) yells at noisy cockatoo (Gabby) with the one cuss word he knows. All he wants is for her to BE QUIET!
For those commenting cage sizes, these are travel cages. It was Christmas and we were not at home. As you can see, they were out of the cages most of the time anyway. My birds all have cage appropriate (or bigger) cages at our home, but if I am home, they are out.
Sadly, Gabby passed away in Sept 2013 unexpectedly and Red, after a 15 month battle with an untreatable illness, passed away on January 3, 2013. I miss both of my babies very much, but I am glad they are together.

I am quite unhappy. Vin de bona Productions has claimed ownership on this
video, due to a mistake in submitting it to their show. I am fighting this
because I own it, always have and always will and taking the money I make
off this video to use for themselves, when I am disabled and need every
penny is pretty bad. I called them as soon as I realized what must have
happened, but their bottom line is the most important thing. I hope they
make the right decision and void the contract that was unwittingly signed
(I can’t even be sure I’m the one who did it because I certainly don’t
remember doing that and would NEVER do that).
Please share and make viral, again. AFV had taken copyright ownership and
we have lost 2 months of income from not having this video. I had it
private, so they would not make money off of it while it was in dispute, so
I need to get it spread around, again! All money goes to the care of the
parrots.
You must be a horrible cook if your parrot learned fire alarm sound lol
From how the parrot sounds someone sets the fire alarm off often
Reminds me of my friends’ African Grey parrot, Smoky. Smoky’s favorite
thing to do is to get the Quaker birds chirping and chattering, get them
all riled up and when they hit a fever pitch he screams “SHUT UP!!!”
“Shut up!….. SHiit!”
XD I wonder where the parrot learned to say “Shit…Stop it!…Shut up!…”
From an exasperated owner fed up with the screeching? Reminds me of a
parrot telling his lady owner “Helen!…Get off the phone!…Who is
it?…Who are you talking too?…Damn it! Get off the phone!” as modeled by
the woman’s ex-husband.
God, what an annoying sound!, sounds like a reverse truck
RIP Birds. You will be missed
I laughed and than almost fell over when he made the noise himself, got her
to do it, then told her to shut up.
Did you have a lot of trucks or construction around your house? Those
noises, the beeps and screeches, sounds like trucks?
Does your smoke alarm constantly go off???
I love how the grey starts doing the beeping at the end and then as soon as
the cockatoo joins in its “shut up”
Those birds are a riot!
AHAHAH~! that was awesome ahah~
emagine hearing that at 6 o clock in the morning lol
Lots of undeserved hate on this video. These guys are hilarious! So sorry
for your loss, I’m sure it was hard.
Lol it sounds like a truck going backwards
After 0:40 I thought the cockatoo was going to tell the grey to shut up.
lol
Red: *makes noise*
Gabby: *makes same noise*
Red: SHUT UP
That one grey parrot sounds more like a smoke alarm xD!! Truly an annoying
sound lol.
They’re like siblings smh
So sorry Becky for the loss of your babies. Kind of shocking to hear that,
as in this video they looked and acted great. Seemed happy and in perfect
feather condition.
🙁 You lost both birds in within 1 year? Any idea of the environmental
cause? Both look happy here.
OMG that poor parrot! If I had to listen to that nose all day I’d get
ulcers too!
The noise that Gabby is making sounds exactly like the noise from my wall
oven
when it’s alerting you that it’s finished cooking.
His using a board for the noise
it know shhh and shit and stop it and shut up and more
Awe I used to have a blue/gold macaw named Magoo and an umbrella cockatoo
named Freddy, Every morning when I would come home from work and Freddy did
loud noises Magoo used to yell “Shut up, shut up….shut the f@#k up!”
shit this bird is funny.
I know a like will do nothing to help your pain, but you can have one
anyway.
I have had many pet birds over the years, budgies, canaries, and loads
others. I had a red rump parakeet who just died completely out of the blue
only this year, and it still hurts to think about him. I hope you and your
new birds are doing ok!
I’m very happy you captured this video and shared it with the world. It’s
very sad to see these birds so full of life and to know that they didn’t
live long after this video. But I think it’s very noble to share how
intelligent these animals are and how strong their personalities are.
I know the feeling with people that Red was trying to tell Gabby quiet xD
You must burn dinner a lot. lol. They sure know the sound of the fire
alarm.
Thank you for posting, these had me laughing out loud for sure. I love
these beautiful babies & i am so saddened for your loss. I am owned by my
African Grey Congo and I love her to the moon & back. They are such
intelligently bright and smart beings. A joy to have.
Cruel leaving birds in cages.
Iol
Shit shut up stop it lol
LOl
My grey tells my Moluccan to “shut up!” (my voice) and “shut your pie hole”
!! (My husband’s voice !!
did he just say shit?
he sounds like the smoke alarm..

African Grey and Medium Sulphur crested Cockatoo Eleanora. They are 15 and
