When budgies mimic their owners they are simply doing what they would do in the wild. They learn their names from their parents and also the distinct calls of their family.

Every time she puts her mouth in front of his face.
Disco: pls don’t f*cking eat me.
She's getting lip gloss on his feathers! Rude!😝
😂
Nom.
LOL. I was thinking he was all "Woman! Get a breath mint."
She’s getting mad close, breathing all that carbon dioxide in its face
" I used to be a spy not a parakeet"
1:50
That reminds me of this scene in the anime Nichijou th-cam.com/video/bDGJ1LSVrkQ/w-d-xo.html
And nooooooow...
TF2 jokes !
Spies in disguise 🕶 🐦
@Hikaru Dalmatian! r/woooooosh
*SHIUU I'M A DOCTOR*
I’ve NEVER seen a budgie be so eloquent! Usually that’s reserved for for the larger parrots. This is the best I’ve ever heard!
yes and he looks so mature and consciously.
I can't talk yet but I'm a budgie!!! :(
My budgie can talk but not th
But not that much and clearly
My budgie says a LOT of words
I love how it's Tennant narrating and Disco says his cage is bigger on the inside! And "I'm a doctor, not a parakeet" really cracked me up! 🤣🤣
I rly miss him as the doctor
But that was so cute 🥰
As soon as I heard the narration I came to the comments to find this 😂
Pretty sure "I'm a doctor, not a parakeet" was a Star Trek reference as opposed to Dr. Who, but still adorable.
@@adamtouil8055 Isn't he coming back next season? Or didn't he just come back last season? I stopped watching when Moffit made such a mess of it.....
*dog walks in*
Disco “cat meow”
Dog: am I a joke to u
Boooo.
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
😹😹😹
Plot twist: The parrot was the narrator the whole time.
Underrated comment 😂
Ironic, his last lines in the clip were "my cage is bigger on the inside" like the TARDIS, and the narrator was David Tennant, the 10th doctor
Haha! Yes 😂
You mean a budgie
alex Gamer09, budgies are parakeets...parakeets are parrots.
“I’m a spy” THAT WAS LITERALLY SO ADORABLE I CANT😭😭😭❤️💕😍
@@SwordieSlice relax i have killed plently of green spies
Birds are very intelligent creatures.
Are we just gonna ignore how the dog just stopped and watched Disco like, “did this nugget just call me a cat..?”
LMAOOOOOOOOOO
nisa rojas yes yes we are
nisa rojas. It kills me every time i see it!😄
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
nisa rojas j
Disco: _talks maturely like a human_
My 5 budgies: *screams at everything ever*
Relatable the two brats on my profiel pic wont shut up, but i still luv them
Sooooo freakin true!

1:47 My favourite part. R.I.P. Disco. :'(
I've been in the avian field now for the better part of 35yrs. Having worked "hands on" with everything from Warblers to Birds of Prey and Budgies to Macaws. I also have owned countless species of parrots as well. My IRN or Indian Ringneck was the best talker i've ever had. They are right up there with African Grey's and Amazons. However, this budgie is absolutely AMAZING in terms of it's clarity. I know they are able too say up to about 200 words. But i never thought there clarity was this good. Awesome video and great job training your "fid". That's us parrot parent lingo for when we address them as our kids.
If you have so much experience with parrots, you’d know right away this is fake and that budgerigars cannot pronounce even close to that clearly!
I’ve bred parrots, including budgerigars for over 30 years, budgerigars cannot clearly pronounce words, their talking sounds more like a whistle, very unclear and barely intelligible!
You should know this hands down!
@@ZYGTropicals Denied.
@@ZYGTropicals not true, I had one years back that I bred and then reared alone called Bobby and whilst he didn't know as many words as Disco he could say pretty boy Bobby and who's a pretty boy just as clear as Disco could so no doubt he could be trained just as well if the effort was put in to teach him more words.
@@ZYGTropicalswow, so conspiracy theories exist outside of politics as well-who knew
I've had multiple budgies that talked very well. One used to say "F*ck off* every time somebody entered the house 😂
Drew Matthews. Did it take you long to teach him that?
@@bertvdlast I was only 7 at the time. I think he just picked up on the F bomb and decided that he didn't like people coming into our house 😂🤷♂️
Drew Matthews.😍😍 That’s pretty hilarious, man. Wish i had one like that. How did the visitors react to it?
@@bertvdlast a little puzzled and questioning at first. Then they just kinda laughed
Drew Matthews. I think i’d wet myself if they said to me😄
"A cat, meow meow"
Dog: wtf
LOL 😂
I have my budgie during my birthday
Dog was literally frozen
i would like ur comment but it's at 666 so-
"what's the flying snack talking about?"
Disco baby is amazing! 🤩❤️ David Tennant moonlighting as a narrator makes this even better. 😋
I just love the zooms on his floofy head. 😍💚
"I'm a doctor, not a parakeet" - Disco the parakeet.
Doctor who?
Plottwist: some evil genius doctor turned himself into a budgie and now he's screaming for help.
Aye_Its_Karate the doctor*
@@AlexMafija Dr. Disco
Dr. Disco died looking into the eyes of a budgie under a red moon.
“Aren’t you a little short for a stormtrooper?”
Zynische Kartoffel am I the only one who thought sometimes it sounded like yoda😂😂😂
1:47
Yes
@@Foam_Woa Yes I am
I heard “Are you a little ST-HORT for a stormtrooper?” XD
I had a yellow parakeet that talked. I didn't train him, I used to leave the radio on for him when I went out, same station. Came home one day and he said "WPLJ 95.5". I started cracking up, then I started saying things over and over and he picked up real fast. I also had the parakeet when he was very young, that may have something to do with it.
That is one AMAZING lil boy, I've NEVER heard a parakeet speak so clearly! He's amazing 💗💗💗
Seriously,, this bird talks better that some people I have heard.
🤣🤣🤣
Probably has better spelling, too.
Those people wouldn't happen to be on the darker side, would they?
Tiberian Fiend nah they’re pretty light colored
Ya, but can he spell?
1:49 " I used to be a spy"
Are we really gonna ignore this part
I am a doctor not a parakeet 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The dog be like _bruh_
Kritik yes. 😆
"I used to be a spy. I'm a parakeet! SHOOT! I'm a doctor not a parakeet!"
Parakeet World• hahahahha lol XD
Wow, what a beautiful talkative little budgie. Well done, Disco!
I saw 2 parrots outside of a shop in Thailand swearing their heads off and insulting everyone that walked past in the local isaan dialect, which was hilarious.
"I am a Doctor"
"My cage is bigger the inside"
*-Time Lord confirmed*
NikkiDragoon funnily enough, this video was narrated by David Tennant himself...
@@Zneelsen oh shit, I haven't even noticed it 😐
Dr who.
Daleks on the way

“I am not a crook. My name is disco.”
Iv started using that line 😁😆
Look in his cage and see all the stolen swag he has in there...
thank god of your comment i tought he said i am out of crack
"You won't have Dick Disco to kick around anymore."
“Disco baby”
We sadly just lost our budgie to a cyst that bled out. He was just over 2 years old and knew at least 60 words. It depends on the bird and the time the humans of the flock spend with it. This was an amazing bird. He spoke very clear and precise, what drove me crazy was that it was so hard to get him talking on camera.didn’t matter if it was a camera, a cell phone or an iPad, it only took him seconds to clam right up and be speechless. Didn’t matter if we were only a few feet from him or across the room trying to record him. Caught him a couple of times but only a few words and sayings.
So cuuute! 😍
Budgies are my favorite little friends. I remember Skye, my blue budgie who lived to be 14. He knew when I was sad. He'd sidle up close to me and say, "Don't be scared." He also picked up a swearword I yelled when I stubbed my toe. It was hard not to laugh!
They are INCREDIBLE little jewels aren't they. So sorry for your loss. I have 2 parrots of my own a Senegal and Black Capped Conure. And while they can't talk i love them just the same. But i REALLY miss my IRN or Indian Ringneck Keiko. Man could he TALK and with such clarity. Just as clear as an African Grey or Amazon.
I also had a light blue buggie named Blue Sky, that I had for 10 years. He sadly past away last October.
@@emmanuelespataro3139 I'm so sorry for the loss of your little friend. 🙏🏽
@@mrs.g.9816 Thank you. I'm sorry for the loss of your buggie as well.
NEVER SHAKE A BABY BIRD DAT WOULD SIMPLY BE *ABSURD*
surely*
Sukhoi Su-57. Don’t call me Shirley!
This prove human brain is so weak.. Its surely
Surely
@@kidddin5887 And your commentary proves that people can be very annoying.
Did anyone else feel uncomfortable with how close the lady was?
I did lmao
Yes!!!
Yea. She was like breathing on it and stuff.
No ...but i am more worried about the budgie if he is living by itself....a talking bird for your own egoistic ass...condemning it for life.....budgies are flockbirds...
Yasss and the birds like back up
The cutest answering machine
I've owned a couple of parakeets before and trained them to talk. But Disco's articulation of words and his vast array of memorized phrases is remarkable! Love the video.
*dog walks by*
Bird- "A cat. Meow Meow. 1:38
1:42
Earth- Chan No he was right
Birbs are the ultimate trolls
So good! So pure!
Dog-WTF
"im getting used to this new body"
Ah ha I see what you did there 😜
- SeremineR4MPG3 - Now he just has to learn to say "KONO DIO DA" with the right tone
Lol
FUUUUU 😂😂😂👌
*I knew I sensed a jojo referenced in this*
Lovely to meet you Disco, you are not only very clever Disco you’re also a beautiful boy. You’ve made my day. 💖🐦💖
I couldn't remember 130 phrases. Hands down. I can't even remember a poem. Birbs are so amazing
She should have teach him the phrase: Help, I am a person trap into a birds body! Call an exorcist!
Or " I'm finnally getting used to this body"
Hahahahahaha xD
This is transphobic.
Hammad Hussain what.
@@hammadhussain3082 How ?
I love how offended the dog looked when Disco called it a cat.
Lol he did too. Then ran, lol
Knowing budgies, he probably knew damn well that was a dog and deliberately called him a cat just to mess with him. Budgies are such little trolls.
Hahahaha
@@Killzoneguy117 yup budgies are so skittish and love to troll and play and scream
FRR THE DOGS FACE😂😂😂😂
Literally the cutest thing ever. 😍
130 phrases... Disco.. you are a star.!!!
He sounds like he is talking from a intercom. LOL
I was thinking the same thing!😆😆😆
He used to be a spy.
Most birds do.
Tiny birb voice box.
My computer has an option,australian parrot voice.
Disco: **Talking and stuff**
My budgies: **Screeching and throwing millet on the floor**
HA HA HA IT IS SO TRUE WITH MY BIRDS TOO!!! 😂😂🤣😂
My 2 always throw the cucumber slices on the floor whenever I give them some
My budgies too
I think Disco is an only bird? Maybe she spends so much time with Disco that he knows he’s flying with a human flock now. Remember, his cage is bigger on the inside. That’s intelligence! 🥰 I think he is super well cared for, and probably doted on and this is the result of that. An apparently spoiled very chatty cute birdie lol.
yess lmaoo
The dog's expression omfggggg 😂😂😂😂
I've had a few budgies in my life and never got them to say more than a handful of words or sounds. This is unbelievable coming out of a budgie!
"I use to be a spy"
*Hold up...*
Was he used to be 007 before ?
The birds work for the bourgeoisie
That means agent disco🕵️🦜
Hold up , wait a minute
remember spies in disguise.....
1:38 birb sees dog
Disco: *A CaT MeOw MeOw*
Dog: boi do I look like-
lol
🤣
😂
Why is a birb?
DavidGP idk I felt like birb was the right word lol
Wow what an intelligent little Birdie.,.....I am so impressed with Disco! He's sure a cute & sweet baby knowing all the those words...I love it. 😮😊❤
I had parakeets (budgies) for many years. They were all so sweet and talked very well. I truly miss them, and I'm sorry that Disco passed as well (2017). He was adorable!
Did that bird just say he was a stormtrooper?
He looked at the dog and told him, aren't you a little short to be a stormtrooper? The princess says it to luke in the movies
Mary Moore time?
Mary Moore yep
Are you a little Stork, or a Stormtrooper
Owner ends up dead.
Police show up.
Disco- I'm a spy, not a doctor! I'm not a crook! 👀
😂😂
Level 100 boss
RIP Disco
Disco died.
@@bruhnotepic8129 really?
Starts meowing when the dog comes in to annoy it haha
His words are so clear for a budgie!!
*dog enters room*
Disco: ooOo a cat, meow, mEoW GIMME A KISS
realistic yogurt so much disco
THIS PARROT IS A PANIC
realistic yogurt lol
You mentioned that but not that he said "I can has cheese burger"
Panic at the disco
i laughed so hard 😂
He’s really talented. I’ve never seen or heard a budgie talk that clearly or quickly before!!!!!
I didn't know they could...maybe hello, but a long sentence spoke flawless..wow.
same
yeah same here, my mom used to own budgies. Its probably because the lady here leans in so close and speaks very articulately.
My Budgies didnt learn to Talk. But one of them sit on my Shoulder
my mother once had a lost parakeet land on her head walking down the street. She brought him home, he told us his name and a few other phrases that he knew. He liked to shriek too.
Omg, this little bird is outstanding!!! ❤️ I have no idea parakeets had the ability to talk. Thank you for this video. 🙏
"It's not easy being green"
But it's easy being adorable
Haha 😆
True true
Very true story
You get hunted down if you are adorable. And your nuts will go missing too
😂😂❤️❤️
That is so adorable how he lets her talk in his ear and closes his eyes aaaa
Yeah so cute

When I was a child my friend had a parrot that his dad had taught to say "help, they've turned me into a parrot!"
Hahaha
LOL
HMM
U sure he ‘taught him’ 🧐
@@flaraxx8955 so what's the right way?
@@AnemoiThuellai When they wrote "taught" like that, they were making a joke that perhaps the parrot hadn't been "taught" to say it but that maybe it was true a person had been turned into a parrot. They were not correcting the English or the grammar. 😁
I'm so sad he passed away in 2017. Fly high, disco ❤
This budgie is one of a few that does have intelligence to learn & talk quite clearly. Although there are other types of birds that can learn to talk crows , parrots , parrakeets & McCaws for instance. & obvious the very intelligent Mynar bird. But, as for budgies you usually do get squeeks & squarks from them. But if the bird shows interest it will learn. But, like many other types of animals not just birds. They can be unresponsive ( stubborn!!!!). 🙄🤔 But, Disco here is intellegent & is willing to learn. This makes him not only adorable but, entertaining to watch & listen to & clever. 👍👏👏👏😉
The dog is just like “WTF?” Lol!
😂😂😂
“Cat meow meow gimme kiss”
True, the dogs face of utter confusion. "Is that bird talking? O.o"
that has to be super offensive to a dog. he calls him a cat and says ' i can haz cheeseburger'
Disco dunked on that dog, he can never come back from this shame even if he learned to speak.
Budgie: I used to be a SPYYYY! I am a doctor not a parakeet
Dog: Ah sh here we go again
1:50 "I used to be a spy"
HALO theme songs plays*

I love disco starts talking when the dog arrives
Oh WOW, Incredible!!! And what a sweet Mama he's got!! And Doggie friend.🤩🤩
Disco: CAT MEOW GIMME KISS
Dog: *why are we still here just to suffer*
I died as well as the dog
Dog: Am I a joke to you?
OMG thats hilarious!
That dog has to reevaluate life itself after listening to the birb.
The Traveler imagine how cats would feel hahaha
Yes...dog had to go look in the mirror and MAKE SURE he was born a dog....bird nearly gave him an identity crisis, lol!
The dog was like: GO BACK TO YOUR CAGE! 1:49
Incredibly talented budgie! 😃
that woman is super lively and acts like a real mother to the bird😊
yep.tahts how it's done if you wanna teach a bird to speak.gotta treat him like a child
nada 2151 true
nada 2151 i would say a bird brain like an Craw:-)
not true because you are not supposed to kiss them
yosef's world you can kiss them as long as your lips aren't wet and they're not french kissing you back.
For the bird's sake, I hope she has clean breath.
Well birds do have poor sense of smell
Meade Music I know right it bothers me so much 😂
No her mouth smells like shit - thats the trick ... the faster the bugdie learn the phrase, the faster he has no longer to smell her breath ;)
Meade Music I
Lol
What a handsome, intelligent birb.
Disco voice is more beautiful than the news anchor or an actress with their role~ 🤣👏
"I am not a crook. My name is Disco"
Not suspicious at all.
I love how he just says random words then: “I used to be a spy..”
My favorite part. I died when he said he used to be a spy
I immediately thought of the owner. As if she told the budgie that in confidence
It's true! He works with the same organization Perry the Platypus is in.
Once a spy, always a spy.
Someone had Burn Notice playing on tv
I’m so entertained by all these Aussie birds I see people from all over the world embrace them 💗
He is smarter and more talented than 90% of humans.
I look at my Budgie "THIS COULD HAVE BEEN YOU"
lol
Wicked Blizzard made my budgie watch it,he was curious
Can I drink you?
Did he say "I can has cheezeburger"?!
yup!
*Does a flip*
Tunago when does he?
XSwaggyZeLPSX 1:43
Tunago I CANT UNHEAR IT UGH
Love him he,s beautiful 😊your so clever DISCO XX💙
That little thing says so many words! Thats a lot to remember. He called the dog a cat, so he is generalizing some concepts and not just repeating the same phrases. Very cool!
"My cage is bigger on the inside," Disco says, likely unaware of the fact that David Tennant is narrating.
Disco the Parakeet Oh, my God. A bird who can quote Monty Python AND make "Doctor Who" references? Coolest. Bird. Ever. What quotes can he say?
giligara30492 "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition" and... well, uh, click on my profile pic and that should (I think...) take you to the TH-cam channel where all of those phrases (and mish mash created from them - often fun!) are housed for the rest of time... or until the Internet blows up. Currently he's working on "I'm Popeye the Sailor Man!" but he refers to him as "Poopeye." Never a dull moment with Disco. :)
He also says ''Just say no to drugs'' , and snores like a human which is so sweet!giligara30492
+Val Watson ITS A FAKE WHO'S STUPID ENOUGH TO BELIEVE THIS BULLSHIT!!!!
+The Angry General Not a fake. Budgies (parakeets) actually can mimic-talk and do sound like that.
Meanwhile all my budgie does is bite me
Savi Debre Did you hand-train him?
My tiel is a biter as well c: parrots are very intelligent, and insanely sentient. They understand the world around them like a small child would, so they all have very different perceptions and personalities. With patience, research, and love you will get your bird there c:
Same
Same xD
Same hahahahahah
DISCO LOVES THE LADY TALKING TO HIM..THERE LOVING BIRDS..AND LOVE HUMAN COMPANINSHIP..💚💚🐦🐦
We got a bird that's a rebel!! I just heard this bird say "Are you a little short for a stormtrooper?" At 1:48 😂😂🥰
That woman talking to him freaks me out
Yeah, she's creepy!

Well that's how he learned to talk in the first place 🤷♀️ plus he obviously trusts her to have her that close.

Such an adorable, clever little bird! What a fantastic repertoire!
It's much more remarkable seeing this after owning my own budgie, Disco is extremely talented for a little budgie. Very articulate and intelligent, makes you appreciate him so much more.
That dog was like "Wtf?" When he first heard Disco speak!
Dog said "Hell no"
It's Kalyn 😂😂
Lmfao i know!!
He walked off like eff this. You went too far now, Sharon.
Laffy Taffy, It's funny but most dogs are freaked out by the talking.
