Out of all the different types and many thousands of species of birds in the world, none are as well known and popular as Parrots are. The lively birds have long captured the hearts and imaginations of people. Not only are they highly interactive and intelligent, they’re also full of personality, funny, socially engaging, and oftentimes beautifully colored. The lovable birds usually have more than one gift and Kanji, the pretty girl in this clip, happens to have the most unusually adorable talent!
Kanji is an African Grey parrot, which is widely considered to be thee most intelligent and smartest talking parrot in the world. They are known to mimic other animals and random sounds they hear as a way to trick predators and throw them off. Even though she lives in a home alongside her human family, whom she loves to talk and play with, she hasn’t lost her wild mimicry instincts.
Kanji’s unusual talent is that she makes a squeaky-toy-sound whenever her little belly is squeezed! To get her squeaking all that it takes is a gentle little poke, even just a pretend poke does the trick, and she doesn’t need to be prodded at all. You simply have to hear the adorable sound that she makes because no description can or ever will do it justice.
The fact that she’s making this particular noise means that she’s been exposed to it enough times to pick it up and mimic it perfectly. I may be wrong here but it’s safe to assume that Kanji is not the only animal in her household. There is probably another pet around, most likely a dog, who loves to play with squeaky toys and that would be where she picked up and learned the squeaky noise.
Above all else it’s vocal abilities like Kanji’s that parrots are best known for. Some species know how to say a couple of often repeated words, whereas others can learn 300-500+ and are able to speak in full sentences! In fact, the record holder for “the bird with the largest vocabulary in the world” was a Parakeet who lived in California named Puck.
He spoke an astounding 1,728 words and observers from the Guinness Book of World Records recorded each and every one of them. They officially bestowed the title on the handsome baby blue parrot back in 1995 and no other bird has yet to break his record.
Kanji may not hold a record but regardless of that, you can’t help but smile when you hear her squeak. She’s undeniably sweet and cute so be sure to check her out and share this awesome video with anyone who could use something positive and simply uplifting in their life!
