Finally… PROOF Parakeets Are Stupid ;-)

Where is the video? It doesn’t come up

WOW! This video just blew me away!

OMG that was SOOOOOO cuute/cool! I have 37 keets 2 greys and 2 tiels. LOVE them all to pieces. Thanks for sharing the video Chet!!

That was amazing! I want that man to train my lovebird! lol

This was really fun and entertaining!

Parakeets are very smart!! Thank-you for showing it.

Wow…That was really impressive.

What a great video. That was very entertaining. Thank You!

This is amazing!!! Maybe there is hope for my parakeet??

i love it! parakeets are really smart and cute! =)

i enjoyed it lot i thought budgerigar dont do thes acts intresting this video is best i have ever seen about budgerigar

Chet, you absolutely brought tears of laughter to my eyes by bringing us this video. Thanks soooo much! You caught me with your title because I KNOW you don’t think parakeets are stupid and I was not disappointed!

That was absolutely a TREAT! Thanks so much for that. I’ve owned several budgies over the years and they are been so amazing. The truly amazing part is that he’s got a group of budgies doing those tricks and being attentive to him–usually when birds are together their bonds seem to weaken with humans. That was beautiful, and he obviously has some very happy birds!

WTF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was UN-Believable !!!!!!!!

The audiance looked like they were having a Great time …TV Sucks !

MY Mind is totally Blown and a Standing ovation !!!!!

JS

I get the impression the birds genuinely enjoy what they are doing! This reminded me of the title of a Reader’s Digest article I read years ago, “Budgies can do darn near anything.”

It is another “proof” that dynamite does come in small packages.

I loved this, Chet, they were enjoying themselves and looked forward to each and every act. How adoreable.

I noticed the various colors of each “keet”. So “color” doesn’t change the fact they all have brains.

Thanks Chet

Whoever coined the phrase “bird brain” never owned a bird. All birds are very smart. Even the wild birds. I love them all. Well, maybe not the crows, who scare my Paulie, when they fly by the window. I owned several parakeets over the years. All were very smart birds. My cockatiel is also.

They did these routines because they loved it! They are born entertainers. The one that kept playing on the slide cracked me up. He was having fun and you could see it. He didn’t have to give them treats.

Thanks Chet!

These little guys ARE this smart and with VERY little difficulty! I have a male budgie that picks things up so quickly with very little effort in exchange for a lot of love. I can’t say enough about the intelligence and personality of budgies.

OMG!!!!!!! That was too cute! One of the most adorable bird routines I’ve ever seen. Makes you wonder how the term “bird brain” as an insult was ever apt…NOT! Super smart!

I’m sending this to everyone I know!

Thanks, Chet!

JUST ANOTHER ATEMPT BY THE W. BROTHERS TO CAPITALIZE ON SOMEONE ELSES HARD WORK

I just sat and admired all of the little ones and how well they responded to their handler. No creature is stupid they just need more love and coaching. Way to go little buddies.

so cute and very smart. thanks for sharing this vedio.

Presently living in the country in very crowded conditions. No way to play videos, but do have computer with DVD player. Are your training videos available in this format? Thanks.

OK, Chet. Now listen here: I purchased your Trick Training DVD; so, if my birds can’t do this by the end of next week, I want my money back!!! LOL

Very impressive, very inspiring. Thanks for sending.

Yes Parakeets are very smart. I think sometimes they are smarter then my Cockital.. I think the video was adorable.. I had Parakeet that recentally flew away… HE could get out anything you put him in.. Every morning he was out that cage, and one morning I couldn’t find him then I went to let the dog out and He flew out the door… He was a mean little bird. My cockial was three times his size and that parakeet wouldn’t let my cockiel eat and was always picking on her and kept pulling out his feathers…

THAT WAS TOO CUTE. MY PARAKEET SPENDS HIS DAY BOSSIN’ THE QUAKER PARROT AROUND. WHAT A GREAT JOB, TRAINING THOSE LITTLE GUYS.

Thant was one of the cuties I’ve seen. Enjoyed it very much. That just goes to show it can be done.

CHET,
THAT WAS GREAT, THE LITTLE GUYS WERE SO CUTE AND SHOWED HOW SMART THEY ARE. I HAVE ENJOYED ALL YOUR VIDEO. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU HAVE DONE FOR US BIRD LOVERS. KEEP THE GOOD WORK GOING.

I love these cute creatures Thank you Chet for sharing this video…

I saw something very similar on black & white tv, (before color), over 55 years ago on the Ed Sullivan Show. It was awesome then and still is!

Thanks for sharing that!! I have a two-year old parakeet that I almost gave away right after I got him at 12 weeks. He was squawky and always trying to bite me. I tried all kinds of “taming.” I had two parakeets years ago that were so sweet; I thought it was just him. Just about the time I wanted to get rid of him, I purchased your bird taming and trick DVD’s. The result was almost overnight!! Kiwi soon became my constant companion around the house. He is out of his cage most of the time (wings clipped for safety) and will even follow me around like a dog. He says over 125 words and phrases and picks up new ones each week. I think your DVD’s are great, and I enjoy your emails. (Don’t pay any attention to “Bud.”) P.S. Is there any way to find out who that trainer is?

one of the most entertaining bird flicks I’ve seen

Totally awesome video, had a good laugh

What precious creatures! I curently have a duck and a starling which I love very much. I have owned parakeets in the past for many years. These birds are extremly intelligent. I am very impressed. I would love for my babies to do neat tricks like these.

Man, my parakeets are pretty dumb… this video was awesome!

AWESOME!!!

Wonderful. I’ve had two of these birds for almost 14 years…..I also have conures and the parakeets fly free..they were getting out anyway. They love to go visit the conures and I caught one parakeet picking on a conure and then when the conure would grab him, he’d cry for help pretending the conure had started it all. I just happened to come in the room one time when I saw what REALLY was happening or I’d still think the conure was the bad guy. The parakeets are the most loving sweetest interesting birds I’ve ever had. I love them to death.

Amazing video, a pleasure to watch, it was good to see the whole audience enjoying the show. I wouldn’t say that these parakeets are stupid, not in the least, in fact they are highly intelligent animals and this video proves it. This is one of the best video’s I have watched, 100% better than most of the usual rubbish on youtube, would love to see more.
BRILLIANT 10/10

Amazing!!!!

that doesnt proof that they are stupid

Silly CHET,
He was doing all of that on purpose

This video had me clapping the whole time! LOVED it.

That was so neat, it really made my day!

Well, these little birds were quite brilliant, and their trainer was wonderful!

That was so much fun to watch! What very well trained birds!

JUST ANOTHER ATEMPT BY THE W. BROTHERS TO CAPITALIZE ON SOMEONE ELSES HARD WORK
Have you heard the saying, if you don’t have anything nice to say, Well this guy should have listened. Besides how on earth are the W. Brothers gonna capitalize on this video, it was FREE !!!! The clip was amazing. Bud, be nice. If you don’t like something then don’t look at it!!!!!

Only one bad comment, thank GOD one bad apple doesn’t make the rest bad. If I could teach my bird to do anything then maybe they could CAPITALIZE on that. And it would be worth it. They would deserve to capitalize , whatever Bud meant by that, who knows. anyway, Bud GO AWAY!

hey chet this wazzzzzzzzz soooooooooooooooo funny and i really loved the part when the green perakeet kept going back 2 the slide and you don’t really think that perakeets are stupid right???

Chet was just being funny, he doesn’t really think they’re stupid

This is really cute. I’d like to see things like this more often, because your birds are obviously enjoying themselves and handled nicely.

I enjoyed watched Video of Parakeets are very smart and well training and did a good job I wish my sunconre Parrot do that same thing but he is lazy too bad I loved to watch birds what they doing they are fasastic

Thanks for sharing that!! I have a two-year old parakeet that I almost gave away right after I got him at 12 weeks. He was squawky and always trying to bite me.

me paresieron fantasticos y maraviyosos.muy divertidos

that is the most wonderful video I’ve seen for awhile. I wish my birds would do things.

This man has been around a while with his ‘Budgie Circus’. He works with the birds every day and makes it fun for them. Note the budgies do not have clipped wings.

The video did not come up for me! huh…if only it did…I have two “untrainable lovebirds”,so i am pretty upset!

We had a budjie my huband taught talk. He mumbles like W.C. Fields and was very smart so I knew this was a catch to get us to watch the video. Glad it worked. Was very intertaining. Thanks for sharing!

do you know whether or not you are touring canada, lide leanne said bc th okanagan to be specific. the other question that have is this, how long does the hormone inbalance last, my indian ringneck is 2 half yrs old and hes being so stuborn right now. he won’t do anything that I ask and he’s starting to bite me again. which he hasn’t done in a long time. he attacks anything from tea towels to pop bottols which he never did before, we did have a problem with him chewing his way through the top of my kitchen counters we used the plastic tubing that you buy to put over shower curtains and that seemed to help as he would slip off but did that ever piss him off so he went and found another piece which is the frame around the window. I say no, i give him time outs. i think i have tried most things. i use the clicker when he does something good, but he hasn’t figured out the clicker yet. he tries to attach it too. help the frustrated please. ps I haven’t been able to find a small treat that he really likes to start the training, so far he gets kisses when he does something nice., but that doesn’t work when Im trying to show him tricks. he plays ball with me, im actually thinking of trimming his feathers so that he is unable to fly so well, with him knowing how to hover it makes it very hard to keep him out of our stuff and harms way. i love him to death but getting frustrated beginning to feel like i took on more than i can handle. thanks for eerything you are doing as a canadian i am finding it hard to find a bird club near where I live. i would love to learn from someone that knows what they are doing. unfortunately I am unable to buy you cd’s which is sad because i think my answers to my many questions would be answered and i wouldn’t feel like I am a failure to him and that maybe I should try to find him a home wher they have the time and knowledge to train him proberly I don’t want to be selfish where my poppett is concerned i love him too much. with opening a new tattoo shop with my husband last year my time with poppett is getting shorter and shorter and i so feel that is very unfair to him, its nnot his fault its ours. confused and sad and don’t know what is best for him. if i knew that he would calm down i would feel so much better, i have to fight with him everytime i take him out for a romp he goes right to where he knows that he is not supposed to be there, he has no house manners at all, and i honestly don’t have a clue how to even start with that problem, thats when he starts to attach everything including me, he will actaully fly at my head with his eyes white as snow.

That is the cutest act I have ever seen!! I love those humble little budgies! Notice EVERYONE in that audience, young and old, were grinning from ear to ear. That was a hoot, great trainer, great birdies, great routine. Thanks for making my day bright. Yeah, Bud, stuff it!

Great video. I really enjoyed it. Great training.

that is really cute i love bird!

Oh phew… I just thought I bought a stupid bird!!!!!!

Wow, That was really interesting..My keet won’t do anything, neither will my love bird?? Christy in St. Marys, Ga.

Wow thank you for the wonderful video Chet. I never knew budgies were smart until I hand raised Oliver Twist. Oliver has a mobility problem(severely splay leg budgie) He has blown me away with his intelligence. He says about 20 words in french and english. He orders the other birds around by calling them by name and telling them be quiet or go to bed. He will also compliment them by saying Good boy ( Sam (my grey), love you (Peanut(Lovebird), pretty pretty bird(Julien(conure) , step up. He love to play ring toss like on your videos. We are working on other projects but I must modify because of the poor use of his legs. I modified a basket ball net . He carries the ball and uses it as a third leg. It’s to get it in the hoop. He uses the modified ball alot to get around. Will keep trying. Thank You for the wonderful video. Christine Brosseau (bird rescue and rehab)

this show was so cooooool
now i’m going to start to train my birds

WOW that was good I laugher out loud I’m hand feeding three budgie’s now they are ready to wean just need to find out what treats they like and give it a try thanks Chet

Aww! That was so cute! And Cool!
I wouldn’t call that stupid, but that one budgie made me think: It’s not that he’s not listening(sort of), it’s just that he just maybe… loves that slide.

I have never seen anything like that ,that was awesome if some one can train a parakeets to do all that then i would say any Birl was able to be trianed . Thanks chet.

Aw, that was cute!!!!

That was sooo cool. ENCORE ENCORE!!!!!!!

[...] to be very underrated, but I'm often amazed at how smart my two are… Take a look at this… http://www.birdtricks.com/blog/stupid-parakeets/ __________________ Sharon Two Budgies…Abbey and Sadie Linnie…Levi Rosy [...]

That is just unbelievable! I love it! I just got a baby budgie and am very impressed that they are so smart. They have so much potential and it just makes me so sad that people underestimate them. It breaks my heart knowing that there are so many budgies sitting around, bored out of their skulls with nothing to do, investigate or learn.

that was awesome! so cute!
i didnt think you actually meant that parakeets are stupid!!
and the part where one of them launched a cannonball at the man – was that supposed to happen?
anyway..those are the smartest parakeets in the world!

It was agreat video

Dear Chet , Thank you so much for sharing that amazing video.
I and my Parrot Ivie enjoied it several times. Parakeets are really very SMART! Thanks again

wow, never knew they can be that smart.

maryam

That was awesome! I loved it!!! I wish I could get my birds to do that

That was Way Cool My grey and cockatil both talk but the parakeet is still young and listens and plays with the cockatill .Perhaps he will dance befor he sings.
