kingsnake Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I've been watching videos of African Greys talking and doing different things. Very freaking annoying watching a video and having a TV or radio blaring in the background. I'm just saying! Think before you record! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eshana Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I keep trying to get my Shelby to talk on video. The only way I've ever been able to do is it to go about my usual business, IE leaving the TV on. If it's too quiet, he knows his mommy is trying to film him and he stays silent. Maybe that's how it is with the other birds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cupid Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Kingsnake, I think youll like the video of the grey singing "let the bodies hit the floooooor" or the death metal cockatoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoom Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Such a happy bird! As for Youtube videos, I totally agree about turning off the TV/radio if at all possible. I don't even own a TV, so my birds and I aren't used to constant background noise. However I have noticed that both Simon and Kazoo are more likely to experiment with sound if a)I'm out of the room and b)there's music playing.

MarcusCAG Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Kingsnake, I don't think any of our videos of Marcus have the TV on in the background. But like others have said, some parrots really seem more comfortable talking if there's some background noise of some sort... it was only recently that our Beaker (the Quaker parrot) has started his little soliloquy spells without anything else, like music, sounding around him. He still says the same three or four things over and over ("Beaker, go lay down!" is my favorite--he put that together from us telling our dog to lay down, haha!) but now we can actually hear him well, since he does it when everything else is quiet around him.
