My African Grey Tui is 18 months old and has a pretty good vocab. More impressive for me is her understanding of what she says. I recorded a morning conversation of us chatting before we had a shower and started the day. Tui’s vocab is much larger than what is here, and she is learning new words (thank you & Your Welcome) and while she does not clearly say them, she uses them correctly. She also started screeching and has learnt to self correct this by telling herself to be quiet. Anyhow, for a 18 month old anything I am pretty impressed with her comprehendsion

Clover reminds me of my africangrey Clyde, she would even cuss me out.Clyde
died in afire
is the parrot singing and dancing at 1:05?
I don’t know where Michael Caine found the time to train this bird…..
SCRATCH HER ALREADY
It’s funny, and probably not coincidental, that most parrots seem to say
QUIET! LOL
The parrot is clearly the man of the house
Tui: SQUEAL!
You: What!?
Tui: Scratch?
I love Tui! Such a cool bird!
Thank you for uploading this video. I love this bird so much, so far
this my most favorite talking Aferican Grey in you tube. I wish happiness
and healthy life for you Tui whereever you are.
i have a budgie, and i also want an african grey parrot. but i dont know if
i should get one. would it be dangerous to my budgie (not that i plan to
keep them in the same cage if i get one)? will it be too much work? is the
plucking problem really bad or no?
this videos a joke right?
haha Kiwi accent
Scratch
Amazing creatures!
I would take the bird’s advice. He is obviously smarter than his owner.
Give the bird a scratch already
Aren’t they AMAZING. Yoshi is the first CAG we ever owned and we are
totally enjoying him..they are SO SMART!! Really enjoyed your sharing!

This is fabulous.
OK
Shhhhh! Queit! Haha I want one
This video is since 2006 I wonder how much she talks now! furthermore she
may need to have a babies may be she is a good mother, it’s not? God Bless
her
I am in love with Tui. She is so cute <3
I see Tui has a ring , when you lost her did you advertise her ring number
in your local papers and on radio ?? I know you didn’t get her back
unfortunately , I’m sorry to hear that , but someone must have her.
hey…spread the word….parrots will eat their pellets if you put almond
milk on them……really works….and pellets make them healthy if you buy
good ones.
Awesome .
I figure if (or rather when) I get one it would make my German Shepherd its
personal pet and body guard. I could already hear it, “Attucks! Get the
kitty!”
so smart!!!

The African Grey Parrot is listed as one of the most intelligent animals in
the world. The African Grey Parrot knows that it is his own image he sees
in a mirror. Very few animals have this gift that is a test to prove an
animal is self aware & knows he does exist & is able to intelligently
communicate with other animals with the same gift. These animals are
Whales, Dolphins, the species in the Great Ape family which includes Human
Beings. This parrot knows he is loved and cared for!
Omg that’s so cool! Shhhhhh quiet hahaha!
@badkins1990 how much for one?
@jwwc123 hahaha lol thats soo cute
they are really expensive over here they cost 800 dollars
lol it’s funny cuz your like shhh and then tui like it whistles or

WTF
Very healthy looking Grey, mental and physical. Great parenting!!
@crystalgymnast yes. i have an african grey parot to. And they are really
good talkers..^^
I lost it when the bird sneezed at 1:49 XD
You think this guy has a rain forest style shower head. lol
ssh quiet. shes amazing
She’s so cute! So smart!
It’s like I am listening to EVP’s HA HA!
What a character!
it would be funny if a burglar robbed that house the burglar would come
into the living room there will be tui goin: shhhhhh quiet! XD
Actually they are not just imitating noises. If you watch the videos of Dr.
Irene Pepperberg with Alex the African Grey, you see this parrot is not
just imitating anything. He counts, differentiates between materials and
demands things like dinner and to “go back.” These creatures are far more
intelligent than we realize.
omg i really wanna parrot! such beautiful animals, and it’s amazing how
they can sound exactly like the person they hear all the time.
