CharleyAndFriends

When you get a pet, you don't just bring an animal into your home, you bring a new member of the family. They might not fight for their share of the inheritance, but they will fight for your attention. Some more than others, animals require the attention of their human companion for a multitude of reasons; some like to be noticed, while others like to show you that they are part of the pack. While people tend to get animals they can interact with easily, say a dog or a cat, because they can pet them when they want to and can teach them basic domestic “manners”, others opt for the more exotic creatures, like big tropical birds. Parrots make great pets, the bigger ones can even have a sort-off conversation with you, but don't think that you can just keep them on their perches; they will demand your attention as much as your standard Lab! Charlie, the blue-and-yellow macaw is the best example for this. See, his owner is in the shower; showering should be respected as some alone time, right? Charlie doesn't know that; instead, she wants to play with the shower curtain, which in turn draws her owners attention! Clever bird, don't you think?

This one will definitely put a smile on your face! Watch as this hilarious parrot actually says "Mmm, good" as he is spoon fed peanut butter by his human friend. This is just too cute!

Check out this parrot as it flawlessly imitates the sound of a crying baby. How is this even possible?

When Charley the parrot comes down from her cage in the morning, her owner usually starts recording her. This was the first time he was able to record Charley saying, "Hello, how are you?"

This is the hilarious moment when one very competitive parrot tries to outspeak its human by loud screaming. Charley likes to scream and she likes her screaming contests. She starts off softly and as you get louder she gets louder. Charley is definitely the winner! Footage shows a parrot sitting on the leg of her human, enjoying a quiet time in the living room. Moments later, we hear a screaming noise in the distance and realize that owner is trying to tease its pet, by mimicking her screams. The overly-competitive <a href="https://rumble.com/v54qam-i-argued-with-my-parrot-about-whos-a-pigeon.html" target="_blank">parrot</a> quickly takes up the challenge and tries to outspeak her human by screaming from the top of her lungs. How adorable! Family feud in the making! It is hilarious how quickly this parrot accepted the <a href="https://rumble.com/v31gqy-sleepy-parrot-demands-to-be-scratched.html" target="_blank">screaming</a> challenge and engages in a long, fierce discussion with owner. Every time the owner makes a noise, the parrot uses high-pitched voice to outspeak her loving human! This might be the most adorable fight we have ever seen! There is no doubt that Charley likes to scream and always likes to win at her screaming contests. She starts off softly and as you get louder she gets louder. You won’t win a battle with this overly-competitive bird! Hilarious! Animals lovers prepare to have your heart melted as this priceless moment will warm up your hearts! In this video we are introduced to the pet parrot Charley who is captured screaming at her owner as part of a family challenge. Don't you wish that you had a pet bird like Charley at home to scream with?

Watch how Charley reacts when she realizes her owner is playing with HER puppy stuffed animal. She rushes over to protect it from the human! Amazing!

Charley likes to tell people "bye" when they leave. She will sometimes even say "later" or "come back". In this clip she literally blows kisses to her owner as she is leaving for work. So cool!

A parrot plays with a toy ball just like most of us did as kids. What a cool birdie!

Who says humans are the smartest creatures? Have you seen this parrot? In this video, you can clearly see the parrot threatens its owner by knocking her out. I guess the owner was being annoying like we all are at times. Only if the cats and dogs had speech abilities like parrots do, it would be perfect! Imagine the self-realization we would have had. Dogs are the sweetest animals no wonder. They love you more than you love yourself. They are the most loyal animals ever. They say they'll sacrifice themselves for their owner and the way we treat them sometimes isn't always the best. Imagine your pet dog coming up to you and confronting you about your behaviour. Lol. How uncomfortable would that be? Well now about cats - we think they don't really need speech to express their discomfort or irritability. They do that pretty well without speaking. Be it scratching something it shouldn't be scratching in the first place or by ruining our stuff. Again think if they had the ability to speak. We don't even want to go there. And here's this parrot, who can say “Shut up” along with “I’ll knock you out”. How amazing is that? But did you see the way the owner's partner laughed? Sometimes we wish to be like that parrot and say whatever comes to our minds without being afraid that somebody will get mad or offended, or without caring for others and see people just laugh it off without taking it seriously? How easy our life would be if people actually did that. All the mean things said by others were taken so easily by others and they would just laugh it off. Life would be so simpler. Now back to the parrot. The parrot learned what he learned with the help of its previous owners. We wonder how they taught it that either by a screaming “I’ll knock you off” at someone or at the poor parrot. Sad life. It is such a sassy parrot and we are pretty sure it likes being that way. Have you noticed its tone of <a href="https://rumble.com/v38uxp-einstein-parrot-demonstrates-he-is-a-talking-birdie.html" target="_blank">speaking</a> ? It behaves like a real boss! We wish we had a pet parrot like that who could speak and stuff. It could tell us when our hair looks really stupid and our outfit looks old-fashioned and not trendy at all. Someone who'll say “I’ll knock it off” if we are being a complete nuisance. Or say “Shut up” when we can't stop thinking about our sweethearts who we had met just two day ago. We hope over the time, this parrot will learn to speak more and more and eventually take up its owner's language so that all the language barriers among the <a href="https://rumble.com/v38s8r-einstein-parrot-hilariously-mispronounces-words.html" target="_blank">parrot</a> and its owners are stripped. But what's its original language anyway? Even though it has started speaking English, we wonder what was the language it used before? Any guesses? However, did you see all the colours over its body? Wonder what kind of a parrot it is. Have you seen a video like this before? Hope you have enjoyed this video and share it more if you want to say “I'll knock you out” to someone without actually saying it.

Charley let’s out a funny scream.

Olney, Illinois is home of the white squirrels, but they haven’t had very many in the park the last few years. While driving through, this person managed to capture one on camera. How cool is that?

Charley mimics a lot of noises that we make. From coughing to sneezing and even groaning as you sit down. This is a short video of her coughing.

Our blue and gold macaw Charley enjoys inviting people into the house unexpectedly. I was changing the doorbell sound to something different and happened upon this one had a little fun with her

our blue and gold macaw named Charley who has to be the center of attention. She was trying to get my husbands attention while he was outside on the front porch. She yells "Ladonna" a lot. We think that is one of her original owners.

Our blue and gold macaw is named Charley. She is very attached to me and likes to blow kisses when my wife puts the smaller birds to bed. She also says “gimme a kiss” and makes kissing noises. I finally got a chance to get it recorded.

Charley our blue and gold macaw has a vocabulary of almost 200 words and phrases. She talks randomly but also needs coaxed from time to time. Turning on the camera is an easy way to stop whatever she is doing. I am trying to capture some of the moments she lets me record.

Charley likes playing with the shower curtain while we take a shower. But she also likes to get in the shower from time to time. If I take her in the shower on my arm she is always looking for a way out. She usually climbs out to the chair outside the curtain and plays. One day we leaned the chair in and she really enjoyed playing in the water. Most birds do but she has always been scared of it since we adopted her. It’s been a year and a half and now she is starting to enjoy a shower every week. Hopefully soon we’ll be able to get her to take one every few days.
