African Grey Parrot Coughs To Remind Mom She Wants a Bite in Funny Clip

African Grey Parrot Coughs To Remind Mom She Wants a Bite in Funny Clip originally appeared on Parade Pets. Whenever I'm feeling down, I know there's one part of the internet that'll easily perk me right up: talking birds. There's no telling what these funny little comedians will do or say, and they really don't care how we feel about it! Gizmo, an African Grey Parrot, is a part of this club of vocal birds, and she's pretty good at tossing in things you didn't know she picked up. In a recent clip, she politely asks Mom for a bite of food... by coughing. It's brilliant! Almost as if she meant to say, "Ahem, excuse me, ma'am... could you please spare this famished, twig-like frame just a morsel of your sustenance?" A cough to remind someone you're there will do the trick every time! African Grey Parrots are masters at off-the-charts mimicry, and Gizmo's clearly been practicing. She's like a little human lady trapped in a Parrot's body, but still capable of expressing some things, like "Give me food!"Coughs aren't the only thing Gizmo's good at, by far. This cutie has a whole arsenal of funny phrases, words, and sounds to amuse the masses, and Mom. She's also a rad dancer with moves like Jagger and an expert at making Mom stop and pay attention, but it's videos like this one that crack me up because it shows her ability to understand what a joke is. That's diabolical, if you ask me! The evil laugh is too much! You can tell she gets a kick out of surprising everyone with whatever flies out of her little mouth next. She reminds me of my kids when they were toddlers, taunting me at bedtime... African Grey Parrots Can Have Large Vocabularies African Greys like Gizmo are really good at learning new words if they want to. Up to 1,000 words or more is possible, and some add a little extra after picking up an accent! More than that, these birds have the know-how to use them "coherently and in context," making your everyday conversations with one feel like you're talking to another person at times! All of this to say, I already knew talking Parrots were smart, funny, and impressive (some even have the mouth of a trucker), but Gizmo's use of a cough for attention? I'm going to try that one the next time I want a bite of my husband's food! 🐶🐾🐾 African Grey Parrot Coughs To Remind Mom She Wants a Bite in Funny Clip first appeared on Parade Pets on Aug 13, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Pets on Aug 13, 2025, where it first appeared.
