Ziggy the Pooting Parrot - Destructo Bird Strikes Again!
Channel: Ziggy the Pooting Parrot

I was working on videos for both his and my own channel and Ziggy decided to try destroying things to get my attention.

Ziggy is a Timneh African Grey parrot, who is 21 years old and is pretty much my "child."  He has the mentality of a two to five year old depending on the day, and has about a 60 work vocabulary right now. He loves learning sounds the most, especially human noises and sounds...hence his nickname. Fart sounds are his #1 favorite noise to make. 

I am his third owner, so most of the sounds and words he knows came from his two previous owners. I have taught him certain songs to whistle and words like "goodnight," "peek-a-boo," "Birdy Bum," "Good Boy/Girl," and "Meow Meow."  My housemate, Day, and my father (Grandpa) teach him to belch, and Grandma unintentionally taught him a few too many fart sounds that he still loves to do. He also has her laugh down perfectly, and occasionally will go "Pew!" after he makes a fart sound thanks to her as well.

Ziggy and I are in temporary lodgings with our friend, Day, and her kitties due to a major flood that destroyed our home, including many of our possessions (including his big cage), so we stay in a room in her house, and Ziggy stays in his travel cage until our financial situation improves (I am looking for a new job with better pay right now).
