Out of all the many different species of birds in the world, parrots are among the smartest, and they definitely shouldn’t ever be referred to as simple-minded “bird brains.” The clever, often colorful, birds have long captured the imaginations and hearts of people all over the world.
In addition to being fun and endearing companions, they’re also complex creatures who require a lot of attention, love, and training to truly thrive and be all that they can be.
JoJo, the beautiful green feathered parrot with a distinctive looking line circling her neck in this video, is proof of just how loving and affectionate parrots often are. The Indian Ringneck, a parrot subspecies, knows how to sweet talk her best friend and lover, Buddy. Buddy also has similarly colored green feathers but his plumage features more white, especially in his chest area.
In the video, originally uploaded by YouTuber birdsiviewnc, JoJo can be seen showering Buddy with kisses and tender words. She says things like “Whatcha doin’? Oh! Pretty! Gimme kiss? Peck, peck, peck…!” In response, Buddy shakes and ‘quakes.’
That is a natural and common behavior often displayed by Quaker parrots, which is the species of parrot Buddy happens to be. When they become excited or happy they get all aflutter and so it’s clear to see that Buddy is loving the attention JoJo is paying him.
It’s awesome to see them displaying mutual love and affection for one another, and it’s safe to say these parrots are a match made in bird heaven. While parrots are best known for their language and speaking abilities, they can usually be trained to do a number of other tricks.
Many have been successfully taught to fly through hoops, retrieve things, sing on command, and a few have even managed to roller skate or ride a bicycle! Part of why they are so intelligent is that they have incredible recall abilities and memories. When combined with positive reinforcement, dedication, and lots of time, they can learn all sorts of cool tricks.
With that in mind, JoJo has definitely been shown a lot of love by her human companions and picked up the expressions she knows, like “pretty, whatcha doin,’ gimme kiss,” from hearing them said to her repeatedly. In turn, she uses them to tell how Buddy how much she cherishes him.
Check out their parrot love and see how truly clever and awesome these birds really are!
