I had an african grey for many years. It broke me for a long time when he passed. A friend of mine died in a car accident and my bird had learned so many sayings from him. It was sort of like still having my friend there. Since they do voices so perfectly.
exactly. they don't just say the words, they repeat the sound. This might have been recognizable as a specific person who said the words. African Grays are an amazing creature, who once stolen from the wild, live longer than one human. Please only rescue and never buy a "new" young one unless you want them to go extinct.

Thank you Dr Grande this is a great story. My brother got a African grey parrot much like this one, yet very old. I mentioned to him a parrot that old may have a rough time at his noisy home full of kids. It’s tag said he had lost his owner poor thing. Well my bro won the bid at auction. His wife & children were very happy, they stopped on the way home & got him a huge perch to sit on ,food and everything needed. About 2am the fire alarm went off and everyone woke up & no fire, this went on about every hour until daylight. It was the parrot every time he was lonely or wanted a treat he made the alarm sound. The kid’s suggestion was the former owner must have been hard of hearing. Idk my brother rehomed him because the family wasn’t sleeping well A couple,friends of ours who had a cabin with an open floor plan ,the bird could see his 2 humans at the other side of the cabin at night & the forest out window s all around, he was happy,so he never made the alarm sound again.
It makes my heart happy to hear that the parrot found a home in which it would feel secure and well-attended to, to the full extent it wanted and needed. Your brother did the right thing. It's likely that its former owner was home all day and had little to do other than pampering his/her feathered friend. Going from a home like that to a place where everyone has many other things to pay attention to must have been very confusing and stressful for the bird. (I feel that one of the tragedies in wanting to share a home with these beautiful creatures is that they will VERY OFTEN outlive their owners.)
Mine rings the telephone because when she was very young she figured out I would came back in the house to answer it. Her way of getting attention. 24 years later she still not only rings the phone but if the real phone rings she says "hello" before I can even get to it.
@@develyntwocentshenderson5739 oh I’m aware she was not actually dead…but that deputy was not 💀 I can only imagine what was going through his mind at that moment 😂💩💩💩🧱
My family owns an exotic animal sanctuary where we own 67 parrots. The African Grey is definitely the smartest. They usually need to hear something repeated 100+ times before they catch on to it. This was so traumatic to the bird that he picked it up instantly. I can’t imagine
Well, maybe, or perhaps the ex-wife coached the parrot to say those phrases while she was looking after it. There is no proof the Parrot was saying that immediately after the murder.
@@yvehooson9262 True, but even if ex coached bird to draw attention to the murder in a dramatic way and motivate authorities to reexamine the evidence, the other evidence such as the apology letters, the auction of the house due to her financial malfeasance, internet searches, and her DNA on a handgun usually locked in the safe are pretty convincing.
@@yvehooson9262 The parrot was saying those things in the guy's voice, though. You can't make a parrot talk in someone elses voice. If the ex wife coached him, he'd be talking in her voice. I don't think parrots really have their own voice. Their voice usually takes on the sound of whoever they're imitating.
Thanksgiving Day is a good day to thank you Dr. Grande. You deserve to put a feather in your cap for today’s colorful upload. Among the flocks of writers out there, you’re a rare bird - one with a soaring imagination and feet tightly locked on a branch.
Luckily, she didn't frequently hang out in her yard just outside the door and he could imitate the telephone perfectly. 😂😂 I knew of one of those situations. The guy would always walk over to his door as he ran a business from home. Most of the time it was the parrot. A Green headed Amazon.😂 This was near 25 years ago when phone tech wasn't so advanced.
Talking Parrots are the only "magical" belief from my childhood that turned out to be true. Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy and talking Donkeys all let me down 😢
the fact Dr. grande can sit here with the most dead-pan poker face, and stoic matter-of-fact tone of voice, to just throw out, pun after pun ! lmao !! that being said this was indeed a very interesting case, and i'm betting they never thought they'd get turned out by a bird. haha

When I was a criminology major in the 70s in college, a case was shared with the class by the instructor. He had a 9 x 10 glossy photo of a woman in her late 20s. The picture showed that she had 7 or 9 holes in her chest made by a .22 pistol. They had determined that it had been a suicide. The woman actually shot herself that many times before one bullet actually hit her heart killing her. I have seen comments on other cases stating how strange it is that someone committed suicide but did not shoot themselves in the head. It is not as strange as one might think. In the 1990s, my uncle who was then in his mid 50s, had early onset dementia. He could see that the farm he and my aunt had worked their entire lives for would have to be mortgaged to take care of him and my aunt would end up with nothing. He went out into the barn and used a shotgun (in the chest) to kill himself. I think some people might want an open casket funeral and so do not shoot themselves in the head. As a side note, I realized years later that the story of my uncle's suicide was also a testament to a horrible healthcare system where that is the choice you have to make to save your home/farm for your survivors. They don't have this problem in the rest of the civilized world where healthcare is universal and you don't have to lose your home just because you are terminally sick.
He could do what my mother did and take pain killers until.she passed, she didn't want to live an unhealthy elderly life, when she passed I was holding her hand. My mom had a great healthcare plan.

Hi Dr. Grande, Best timing ever to have a "Bird" related video that drops on Thanksgiving Day where many of us still enjoy savoring the Turkey Bird at the dining table. 😉🦃💜
I don’t know how you could “lay”out the crime and “crack” this case the way you did, without the assistance of Bud, but everything was stated with a straight face, you are so talented! So was Bud🤗♥️💕♥️💕
I’m most thankful this thanksgiving for Dr. Grande, his videos, analysis, and being able to live in the greatest state (New Jersey 🇺🇸) 🦃 HAPPY THANKSGIVING 🍁 FANS AND DR.!
Now Glenna's a bird in a gilded cage in Sing Sing. I hope you recorded this video before Thanksgiving so you could take some well deserved time off to exclusively be with your family. Blessed Thanksgiving everyone. ❤
Worked at a veterinarian office in LA, CA. & we had an African Grey in the front office, kept in his cage… He had a habit of blurting out; “pay your f’king bill”…. Fortunately, the clientele loved it ! Lol
Mine would wake me every morning by standing on my chest and yelling "good morning, I love you. Ya wanna beer ya dirty hippy?!" A friend taught him that last part and he used it all the time. They are pretty funny birds
Very interesting case and great play of words throughout! You are, undoubtedly, exceedingly competent in verbal communication. Happy thanksgiving to Dr. Grande, his family and this channel’s community.🦃🍁🍂🍽
Missed opportunity to use the phrase "the bird's the word" 😂 I love your jokes and dry sense of humor. We need some levity thrown in, to give comedic relief. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving, Dr. Grande!

i have an african grey parrot, they're such smart and social birds! she even makes her own, context-appropriate sentences (with some errors that are understandable given that she learned it solely from context and repetition!), indicating that she has at least some grasp of language, which is part of what makes the species so notable. it's sad that we don't know as much about their behavior in the wild, though, because i think that could give some really good insights into their behavior, and that's before getting into species conservation (they're endangered). they really are tape recorders, do not make any sound that you don't want those birds repeating. edit: posted this before i was done! i feel bad for Marty, and for Bud, and the dog. i can't imagine what it would have been like to have a brain injury where your deteriorating condition leaves you no choice but to trust someone who has a gambling problem with the finances, or what it would be like to be a dog or a parrot (an african grey parrot, no less!) and witness your human be murdered. it's common for pets, especially parrots, *especially* african grey parrots, to have symptoms of mental illness, like depression, anxiety, and even PTSD. these symptoms can often manifest as aggression (especially territorial/protective/defensive), spooking easily, and in parrots (especially african greys), self-mutilating behaviors such as feather plucking. 💔 i wonder how a mental health clinician would go about treating mental health issues in a parrot, or in any other animal for that matter. can't imagine talk therapy would be all that effective, even for african greys.
Dr Grande I’ve enjoyed your content for a while. I especially appreciate your dry humor and quick witt. However, I must call horse feathers on this crazy tale of woe. Thanks for the content. You keep makin’ em and I’ll keep watchin’ em.
Happy turkey day, Dr. Grande!! ❤The fact that people won't pay their bills astounds me. Especially when they have the $ but choose to gamble or shop or whatever. Interesting case, I thought i watched alot of true crime but love that you come up with alot of crimes Ive never heard of. I was born in Grand Rapids and have family in Sand Lake. 😂 There's people capable of homicide everywhere and that's scary. There sure is alot of spouses that kill the other, you're suppose to go through life with them as your best friend, not kill them. 🙄 Thank you for uploading even on Thanksgiving. Youre my fav and most reliable TH-camr out here. ❤❤
Happy Thanksgiving, again, Dr. G The bird testimony could have been more incriminating, in my opinion. She was unable to control herself. He received $1,100 each month which isn't much money. But, she received over $3,000 each month to take care of him. That's probably more than she ever was paid through employment.
I heard of this case a few years ago. From what I remember it wasn't just the birds words that mattered. He imitated both voices the victim and Glennas.
Your respect for the avian crowd was greatly appreciated by my African Gray Parrot, Felger. It has been my experience that African Grays mimic humans, in the voice of the speaker themselves, but not before the bird has heard a word or phrase repeatedly. For example, Felger was fond of saying, “Hey, Baby, where’s the fire?” in my wife’s voice, but only after dozens of repetitions. He mimicked my cough after a lengthy illness. My point is that this couple had been at each others’ for quite awhile before the murder. Or, perhaps less likely, the parrot became fatigued with the bickering and shot both of them in a moment of weakness.
"...only speculating about what could be happening in a situation like this" - the varying degree of side-eye with every one of these announcements, always makes my day 😄
Todd keeps pointing out how internet search histories always have searchers related directly to the crime. It’s amazing how many people will google how to commit a crime and then turn around and commit said crime. Is it not common knowledge that your search history will be looked through?
African Greys are so so so smart they are smarter than a 5 year old. There’s no doubt that bird knew exactly what happened. That bird will live with that trauma forever.
@destronia123 They know who feeds, comforts, and entertains them, and losing that person is a loss. That may seem primitive to you, but it's not all that different from humans.
There was a Three Stooges episode where the chief witness was a parrot. "Disorder in the Court" When Curly takes the stand: "Truth is stranger than fiction, Judgey-Wudgey". Also, watch his hat.
I had an african grey for many years. It broke me for a long time when he passed. A friend of mine died in a car accident and my bird had learned so many sayings from him. It was sort of like still having my friend there. Since they do voices so perfectly.

It has been my experience that African Grays mimic humans, in the voice of the speaker themselves, but not before the bird has heard a word or phrase repeatedly. For example, Felger was fond of saying, “Hey, Baby, where’s the fire?” in my wife’s voice, but only after dozens of repetitions. He mimicked my cough after a lengthy illness. My point is that this couple had been at each others’ for quite awhile before the murder. Or, perhaps less likely, the parrot became fatigued with the bickering and shot both of them in a moment of weakness.
Your dry humor is absolutely hillarious and I enjoy your content very much.
The dry humor and puns keep me coming back for more. Very clever -- and I love it!
Love you Dr grande you are my emotional support on many levels
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Dr. Grande. I trust we will see your Christmas decorations soon.
"...only speculating about what could be happening in a situation like this" - the varying degree of side-eye with every one of these announcements, always makes my day 😄
Lmao.. Marty was unemployed his whole life and STILL BOUGHT A HOUSE. Damn i miss the 90s
Right that's all i could think about
You still gave us a video today. I’m definitely grateful for Dr. Grande. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍁🍽. Hope you and your family have a great day
I love your videos, and your humor. Keep up the good work. You’re so interesting in a calming way. 😊
I used to have an African grey parrot, he was very smart and would emulate everything and everyone, it was comical!
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃Dr.Grande to you and your family!
Happy Thanksgiving Doc!
Lol, your sense of humor is spot on 😊❤
Can't get enough of the Grande! "Flip the bird", hilarious.
Thanks for the analysis
The continuing bird references with the pass-a-lie-detector-test-energy had me rolling 🎸 😅
If you said “a birdie told me” it would have been perfect
You’re dry wit is hilarious! Great job Dr Grande❤
Well time to hear more about other people's lives that make me seem sane by comparison.
By all means, Dr.
Proceed.
Absolutely Hilarious🤣😂😂
This is Dr. Grande's most humorous video.
I loved the one he did on timothy treadwell 😂 He said timothy wanted to be one with the bear and that's exactly what he did😅
This man's humour always has me hysterically in laughter. I have always loved this programme.
Todd keeps pointing out how internet search histories always have searchers related directly to the crime. It’s amazing how many people will google how to commit a crime and then turn around and commit said crime. Is it not common knowledge that your search history will be looked through?
If she planned on suicide she probably didn't think it would matter.
I love your humor! God bless you and Mrs. Dr. Grande.😂😊😅
Always interesting
Thank you
Love all bird talk. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃
Happy Thanksgiving to the hardest working TH-camr around! Thanks so much for your content.
African Greys are so so so smart they are smarter than a 5 year old. There’s no doubt that bird knew exactly what happened. That bird will live with that trauma forever.
Dinosauria don't view death in the same emotional terms as humans.
I wonder if there's anything like "Parropsychology?"
@@aubreyleonae4108there’s been lots of studies done on parrots behaviour and intelligence. It’s pretty interesting stuff.
@@destronia123it still knows something happened. I’ve seen bird grieve before.
@destronia123 They know who feeds, comforts, and entertains them, and losing that person is a loss. That may seem primitive to you, but it's not all that different from humans.
That is the best dead-pan humor I've heard. Well done!
Happy Thanksgiving, Dr. Grande!
There was a Three Stooges episode where the chief witness was a parrot. "Disorder in the Court"
When Curly takes the stand: "Truth is stranger than fiction, Judgey-Wudgey". Also, watch his hat.
I remember a Colombo episode, vaguely. Remember anything like that?
A classic.
Drop the vernacular!!
'..the state wasn't going to flip the bird.' You have outdone yourself.
