    awwww... you know she's truly sorry for her mama because she is mellow and unusually gentle with her words, not being sassy and silly

    She dropped her almond when she mentioned the hospital where her former human died and then takes a deep breath, i cried its so beautiful

    • @tubian323
      @tubian323 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

      I didn't know that's why she dropped her almond. I used to think parrots just repeat things they hear but Cosmo and Gizmo have changed my view. I've seen them ask questions and even joke with their owners!

    The volume change down alone shows a unique intelligence. But the words .. just amazing.

    • @rickwilliams967

      You understand it's just repeating sounds right?

    • @erzahler1930
      @erzahler1930 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +18

      ​@@rickwilliams967No, it's not. A few sounds, maybe. Ornithologists studying African Grey Parrots have stated the average parrot has roughly the same mentality as a 5-year-old child. Yes, it does repeat some sounds, but the birb does have a rudimentary understanding of words and what they mean, which becomes better with practice.

    That is not mimicry, Cosmo was picking up on what she was feeling for real. The line "So get a paper towel..."
    THAT was the kicker..
    Just like us, trying to help by giving advice or helpful suggestions? That's mind blowing. There was only one camera cut here near the end. Mostly one long genuine shot so there were no vocal cues or commands. More empathy from a parrot than from most human beings..

    What a sweet gentle bird.❤ It made me emotional seeing this. She dropped what she was about to eat to tend to her mom. 😢

  • @Axqu7227
    @Axqu7227 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +55

    She was saying the things you say when she’s scared/ hurt/ upset to make her feel better because she knows those are the love and comfort words. That’s so cool. Do you use a paper towel to help clean up minor injuries of hers? Scrapes/ bumps/ broken blood feathers/ etc. If so that’s a doubly intelligent suggestion from her. She’s not only offering comfort, but trying to problem solve and fix your pain too. What a beautiful creature.

    • @Stormcrow-dc3ez
      @Stormcrow-dc3ez 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

      I thought that too - that the paper towel has some kind of symbolic meaning associated with first aid or caretaking…

    • @MizzyG37
      @MizzyG37 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

  • @cookiedoughmonstertravels4469
    @cookiedoughmonstertravels4469 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +20

    Her suggestion to get a paper towel is so precious. She doesn’t know how to help, but she wants to help and the look on her face and how she dropped her almond when she heard her mama was in the hospital… 💕

  • @archiesmum8601
    @archiesmum8601 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +23

    She's so emotionally invested in how her Mom's feeling, she listens intently to every answer in order to guage what's going on & then responds accordingly...Cosmo shows perfectly what so many non pet owners just don't understand, that is whether or not they can verbalise it, our animals feel what we are feeling & it often shapes how this understanding on OUR feelings makes the bond between us & them strong, loving & mutually beneficial ❤❤❤❤

  • @annemcwilliams8535
    @annemcwilliams8535 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    Cosmo seems to have empathy, not just “parroting” comforting and loving words and sounds.

  • @ChaoticCats455
    @ChaoticCats455 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    Wow,i do blv animals understand when we are sad or happy.Some,like parrots can vocalize it and some will try to tune in or comfort with actions.Anyway,this parrot is a genius and an empath too.

  • @amandacartwright5324
    @amandacartwright5324 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +33

    It kills me when people dismiss animals abilities for emotional connections and intelligence. Animals have (some even more so) emotional attachment and empathy just like humans.
    Bless you Cindy and Cosmoooo 💜

    They love. Just as we do. As a part of the family they become connected. There is no mistaking when a grey is surrounded by love. They give it right back. ( other birds probably do too but I only had a grey)

    I was at a friends house. I hadn’t seen her a while. It was September. She was telling me the dog died in April. We hear her name being called from down the hall. It was her African Grey. She said. ‘I’m sorry about Dexter.” A. she was listening to our conversation B. she understood us. C. She made an appropriate comment about something that happened in the past.
