Badly-edited show, too: reaction shot... reaction shot... reaction shot... reaction shot...
It's dizzying to watch.

That's not a parrot.

Probably a double, but the links in the original post seem to be dead.

Here's a less dizzying version.

He did all that for one lousy treat?

Did he also do the cheesy synth music?

Is this what you meant?

I don't see what's impressive about this. That parrot's probably like 20 years old. A human kid could do those tricks by the time it was 3. Dumb bird!

Parrots are the new bacon.

No, Worcester's buttonquails are the new bacon.

Yeah, it is a parrot. An African Grey is a type of parrot, as are lovebirds and parakeets.

No Daddy, that is not a parrot! Draw one with blue feathers! Now!

Yeah, I tried to train my bird to do stuff. I even offered sunflower seeds, but she only has one response: Fuck off you asshole.

Definitely a double. It's the same video as the last link in this post.

In fact, gman has proven it to be a triple.

Well now I have been watching parrot videos on YouTube for the last half hour; this bird must know hundreds of phrases. It's amazing.

I think that's because they edited out the probably frequent giving of whatever reward that woman has in her hand.

This made me think of Alex and Irene Pepperburg. Alex (and his successor Griffin) was/are able to do simple logic problems. It seems to me that Einstein just regurgitates sounds she's learned but doesn't have much of an idea of what those words or sounds really mean
