CharlieB Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Hi, my Grey recently burp. Is that a sign of something? The first time I notice when she just woke up yesterday and she just burp awhile ago after she ate. Thanks
Wingy Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Parrots aren't able to actually burp or fart. Edited April 22, 2012 by Wingy
Talon Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Wings is correct, he was mimicking a burp. They Can't burp. I know for a fact when one time, I was giving my grey a drink form a glass of water that my kids left next to the cage. When she wouldn't stop drinking it, I mentioned that fact to my kids, it was like she never had a drink in her life and was dehydrated.....it was then that they told me it was sprite, that was on the flat side......I freaked out, it was the weekened, and had to call Tufts University Emergency Animal Hospital for advice as they aren't capable of burping. She eventually, threw it up several times and it got out of her stomach...
Luvparrots Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 I agree, no real burping, my greys love to sigh and cough. I wonder where that came from???? LOL!
Ray P Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 My grey burps, farts, sneezes, coughs, clears her throat, gags and spits, among many other noises.
judygram Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Anything I can do Josey can do just as good or better, they can make those sounds so real but they cannot burp, you must never allow them to consume carbonated drinks.
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 LOL Ray P. I bet MY bird can fart louder than YOUR bird! LOL Sophie does all those unpleasant sounds. I always remind her to say " excuse me", as they are unladylike. Of course she never does! When I first got Sophie, she went in for her " well child visit", got a clean bill of health and was meeting her milestones. After being here for just one week, she started saying " ACHOOOOO". What did I know! I thought she had a cold, and made an emergency appointment with the avian vet. While seeing him, he had this " smirk". I asked him, is she sick? He explained to me, that birds don't say " achoo", when they are sick.Of course I was embarrassed! He couldn't help himself, as Sophie was flirting with him and being the prankster she is. Down right laughed! Told me, " Sophie made his day!" Nancy
CharlieB Posted February 29, 2012 Author Posted February 29, 2012 ;) Thank you everyone, I was so worried about it, I think she learn how to burp from me. I usually burp if I have coffee after breakfast. :)
Ray P Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 Hay Nancy, it`s funny that the noise you don`t want them to make is the noise that they do best.
CharlieB Posted February 29, 2012 Author Posted February 29, 2012 Hay Nancy, it`s funny that the noise you don`t want them to make is the noise that they do best. LOL, I agree
danmcq Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Some cultures actually give a good loud burp after eating, which is a compliment to the chef, greys just follow good etiquette.
SaladNinja Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Noodle makes an angry burp/fart noise when he is unhappy he also likes to do the "daffy duck" voice back and forth with cody, as well as make regular burping and farting noises just to be obnoxious.
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Ray P..... you are an excellent moderator,with lots of great advice. I LOVE your gentle nature. If Sophie met you, she would LOVE who you were. She would love you, because you understand, life is not about us, they choose. Nancy
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 When you send your children to another family's house for dinner, you know you have done a great job when you get called and told " your kids are great! So polite, help with cleaning up, and say thank you". What call would I get, if I sent Sophie over for dinner? Your bird farts and burps, walks from plate to plate, throwing out what she doesn't want on the plate, leaves with no plans on helping with the dishes. Nancy
murfchck Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 I am laughing so hard at these, love this thread! I keep bothering my husband, who is watching hockey, so i can read these to him!

vlmuke Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 IDK know much on the previous owners but from the the first day I have had Fergie, when she is finished eating she burps, yesterday was her third week here, she also farts, or as the wife says toots. When she burps, I say do you feel better, yesterday morning one my teenage girls burped and Fergie said do you feel better.LOL

DawnMM Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 That's adorable. I'm afraid that my grey would fart, and burp. It would also probably sing the bean/farting song. "Beans, beans, the magical fruit, the more you eat, the more you toot. The more you toot, the better you feel, so eat some beans at every meal." My hubby's dad taught it to him, and he taught it to our kids. I must say the family I married into are very proud and open aired about their farts! LOL I will have to curb my cursing even more. No need to add that to the list.
Life is Greyt Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 My boyfriend has said from day one that if Chickie picks up cussing it will be from me, and, sadly, he's right!!! Lol I try to substitute poop for s@@t and flip for f@@k, etc...but I have a total potty mouth. I blame the military.
Life is Greyt Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 It's not an excuse if it's true...right?? lol
Doug Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 Can I blame the military as well? I've never been in the military, but I can't very well blame my non-swearing parents...
DawnMM Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) It's not an excuse if it's true...right?? lol Exactly! That's my story and I'm stickin' to it! I've been listening to my kids and wondering what a very smart grey would pick up. Any visitors will be appalled! LOL One of my son's does this honking snort thing, my daughter always says "I'm bored", my youngest always says "I don't like that". Oh my! I'm in for a treat! LOL Edited April 10, 2012 by DawnMM
Life is Greyt Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 Bwahahaha sure!!! Why not! you were exposed from all those wonderful military movies like full metal jacket...lol.
