I have the same exact birds!!! Booberry is my BQ and EV (pronounced Evie) my green cheek. I’m a diehard Pearl Jam fan, lol. My BQ mimics too!! He makes kissy noises and laughs when I laugh, it sounds like she’s making fun of me, which makes me die laughing 😂. I’m sooo excited to hear Popples talking, yayyyy!!! To the dear lady who lost her baby bird...I’m so very sorry 💔. I can’t even imagine how you feel....my sincerest condolences ❤️.
Ahhh that is so cool!!! Don't Quakers and gccs work so well together? Their different types of craziness balances each other out lol. My husband is a fan of Pearl Jam he would definitely be able to relate there lol I had an English teacher in school that was OBSESSED with Eddie Vedder haha. Had multiple posters of just him in the classroom 😆 haha I know what you mean about having a bird laugh at you. They are hilarious. Thank you so much and it's so cool your Quaker mimics as well! Thank you for the message to our friend that was very sweet of you. Thank you again and tell your birdies I said hi 🥰
Victoria Ryann, they really do! My Quaker is totally mellow and content to sit on top of her cage and groom, my GC is the wild child, demands attention and a total ham. I’ve never owned birds, so I really had no idea what to expect. I’m a diehard animal lover, so giving them a good home was always going to be the case, but I never expected they would love me just as much :’•}. They are the most precious and surprising little gifts of life! I love them soooo much!!!
Just found your video and really love the environment here… Someone I know in her 50’s who really want to get a parrot, she’s been watching and researching on what it takes to have a parrot but hesitating sue to age, would a Quaker parrot ( avg lifespan of 25years) like Poples be suitable for her?
I had to laugh when Yoshi stuck his head under Popples when you were talking through the cage. Pure 'I want to be involved too' moment! Fierce and scary black nails by the way. Perfect for Halloween 👻
Hahaha he's such an attention hog he cracks me up 😂 he wanted in on the fun for sure. Lol thank you so much! I actually had to file them down a bit shortly after that video because I stabbed my man on accident 😂

Big shout out to my girls who are making moves in the bird community. Bella and Kel you two are gonna go places ☺️ their TH-cam channel links are in my desc box if you all wanna give them a look-see. Lastly, shout out to my amazingly smart and beautiful Quaker, Popples. We new you could do it dude. Now let's teach you some phrases to harrass Nic 😁. Thanks everyone and hope you have an awesome week. Also.... Come hang out with me on Twitch!!! Twitch - www.twitch.tv/victoriryann/
LOL Victoria! Right on! He said, Peekaboo as clear as day AND he said *Yoshi* did you catch it? Remember my Quaker, Peekaboo I've spoken about before? He was a BIG & very clear talker w/a HUGE vocabulary. He was repeating words the 1st time hearing them. He also started putting words together. My Quaker's name was Peekaboo & that was his only word he knew at the time I rescued his previous owners from Peekaboo. He was too much for them to handle & couldn't wait to send him home w/me. Their loss my gain because Peekaboo was a awesome bird!! Now that Popples has started talking he could very well start learning new words much more quickly because he knows it excites you & makes you happy & most of all because he'll figure out you will engage him more. Exciting!!! You will have such a blast watching him learn new words & even understand the meaning of words he's saying. Way to go Popples!!!! 🤣🤣👍👏👏
Hahahahaha that's what I've been seeing in th comments and I'm shocked!!! I had no idea he said Yoshi as well 😂 this is so much fun I'm so excited!!! I love the relationship with you and Peekaboo it is so cute and genuine 💜 Peekaboo is a special Birdy and you are a lovely bird mama. Thank you for everything!!! I can't wait to start teaching him new words 🥰🥰🥰🥰
@@VictoriaRyann did you play back the video & hear him say, YOSHI yet? It's so much fun when our birdies begin talking. My male Ekkie is talking a lot now, he's so funny. 1 thing he does is he mimics my laugh each & every time after I laugh.
@@VictoriaRyann Popples knows his name just like he knows who Yoshi is. Try this, have your hubby be in the room with you & Popples alone, without Yoshi. Leave the room & say *good bye*. After you leave have your hubby call you to return by the name you want Popples to call you by. Ask him to say, *Victoria* or *Mom* & then return to the room. Do it a few times, this is how he'll figure out your name & before you know it, he will be calling you by your name. This is how you teach Popples the meaning of words, by putting action to the words. He will figure this out very quickly & will begin putting 2 or more words together. Example: *Bye Mom* or *Mom, come here*. Reverse & call your husband into the room & then your daughter. He will know every family members name & will call whichever one of you he wants. It's a really fun game to play. Popples will want to show off to show you how good he is so make sure you praise him like crazy. He will be so excited.
My Quaker , we got him when he was about 9 years we believe. We think he was a Breeder bird, his band was wrong, he came with no papers, and he was traumatized from his before life so bad that the only thing he would do is hide in a corner, quake , back up, and shake his head no every time we tried to get close. He was obviously not talking at that point but about 3 ish months later he started saying mama and that was where it all started. As I’m typing he is yelling “hi bubba”, “Amber”, “watcha doin”, etc. it took my Quaker what we believe to be almost 9.5 years to talk or however old he is truly to this day so you should never under estimate another living being
Awe I love his story. Hate he had to go through all of that but so happy you both found each other 💜 the way some of these people treat birds is absolutely ridiculous. Hope we can eliminate at least some of that. But that's awesome he ended up talking!!! You are so right though we should definitely not underestimate another living being. Shouldn't have underestimated Popples cause wow I was starting to believe he wasn't going to talk. But thank you again for sharing your birds story it was so sweet to read and comes to show just how strong parrots are especially when they have a strong human companion with them! Thank you again Amber ☺️
Victoria Ryann Victoria Ryann exactly. I definitely wish I could save ALL of the hurt birds but that’s just a dream so I will continue to care for the ones I have access to as one would do, I also think a lot about that saying “bird brained” when people use that as an insult, in most cases birds are more superior to humans and again should not be underestimated. I love sharing these types of stories, they seem so unreal at times and I love it, I wish everyone could look at birds the way a bird parent does. Thank you for responding, I can tell popples is going to do incredible things on a bird level... or maybe a human level, never know!!! 💕
My green cheek’s first word was “pretty bird.” In the morning I would uncover her and say “Hi pretty bird!” in an enthusiastic tone. I think this worked partially because birds are typically very excited to see you in the morning, and they seem to be more focused on what you are doing or saying.
Oh I love this advice thank you Kaylee!! Love how your bird says pretty bird that is so cute. I can definitely see that though cause my birds go nuts in the morning when I walk in lol. Maybe really focus on saying words enthusiasticly in morning and night? Thank you so much!
My quaker is grumpy in the a.m. lol. Won't stop squawking after I get home from work until I get her on my shoulder, you can tell it takes her a second to wake up, maybe it's cause I wake up at 5 a:m
Good for you Popples. You are right about putting emotions when you teach your bird. My moustache parakeet is talking now. What I have observed is when teaching your bird to talk is put the action to the word, for instance when I first see him in the morning, I say good morning and at bedtime I say goodnight and that way they can associate the word with the action. I also say breakfast when feeding breakfast etc. Instead of your bird mimicking he can associate actions with words. They also pick words that are easy to say. Sorry about your friends conure passing 😓
You know I was watching and my heart was breaking, I was thinking I know how that person feels ... Then I realised derr it's you lol you made me cry ... I miss Ernie everyday, and I always will. Thank you for your kind words there are a few special people in life and you are one of them and I'm lucky to know you :) so so loved seeing popples talk !!! So so clever you should be proud but hey he has an amazing owner and the best life a bird could hope for , Much love mate xoxo
Awe thanks girly and good for you to find the courage to say this was you that I was talking about. Like you and I have talked about, the world can be so cruel and judgemental. But I hope that you see from everyone's comments here they all love ya and want you to get through this. You're an amazing person Michelle don't forget that. Forever loving and missing Ernie 💜 Thank you for the compliments now cut out all the mooshy sappy stuff and get back to messaging about things that bloody annoys us 😂 thank you I'm proud of my lil fluff butt Popples haha.
I'm so sorry for your loss of Ernie. We've only had our Quaker for a month and I can't imagine life without him. I'm pretty sure we got our Quaker because of Victoria. Stay strong and lots of Live from the #birbsquad 💚💚
This was so kind thank you for taking the time to type that for her. Truly appreciate it we are all lucky to have people like you help one another out 💜
Girlfriend who is grieving her GC Conure. So sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you...Your loss reminds me of the pets that I've lost in one way or another. Whether it's our fault or not because we are responsible for them and because guilt is a natural part of grief. Please let go of that part because you know you loved and cared for your bird to the best of your ability. I pray you find peace and comfort.
I must be the world's biggest ding dong cause everyone noticed it but me 😂 my husband texted me from work this morning and was like.... Umm yeah he definitely said Yoshi it's clear as day. Lol.
@@tracygigliotti7027 yes finally!! Haha. Everyone was right it was very obvious he said it. So excited! You're right though I must of been so focused on peekaboo lol
Hey silly girl!! Popples was saying "peek a boo", but he did say "Yoshi" for sure! Congrats , I know I told you that Jake does talk many phrases and words but Isn't it so exciting!! I've heard that if you have more than one bird, usually they can teach each other words! So Hey, just love it! Thanx for sharing this with us, I love you soo much, P.s., I consider you my friend, because of your personality and how similar you and I raise our birbs!!! Can't wait for more of your exciting vids., and there is never a dull moment on your videos!!! Lol Oh and with Jake I talk to him while we are moving from room to room and I tell him what I'm doing, he picks up on it bigtime, example: I'll say "let's go upstairs then I will say let's go upstairs and take a bath, so now he says "let's go upstairs and take a bath" as soon as me and Jake enter the bathroom! Weird, I know but it's true. When I want him to go potty on the wastebasket in a certain room, he now says "Jake go potty" as soon as I set him on the basket! Anyway I could give better examples but pretty sure you get my drift! Lol It's like he is putting the words in context, he will say step up before I ask him, totally strange but I still say it anyhow after he says it( like you were just telling us) HAPPY DAYS!👍👍👍🤣😘
Aweee thank you Carol love you too I appreciate that so much 😭 thank you that is so kind of you. Even though TH-cam gets on my dang nerves half the time it is the best thing ever meeting other passionate bird lovers like you 🥰 you're the best. I would be so sad if I didn't get the latest news about Jake haha! Love that lil dude. Definitely going to try out your tactics with how you keep Jake talking and learning new words! I'm writing all of this stuff down so I be sure to encourage Popples more lol. Thank you for the tips I really appreciate them all and give Jakey a hug for me 🤗
All i have is my animals ! So yas girl keep your head up 💞💘 my budgie dove.passed away a year ago ! But he use.to screeeeam meow meow meow for.my attention and i didnt even a cat so not sure where he learnt ir 🤣😂 so cute !!
Yep he definitely said Yoshi, peekaboo. I also heard a lot of other practice chatter on you first clip. Pluto used to practice for hours when he was a baby and sometimes I would just put the camera on and leave. Quakers are definitely closet talkers when practicing. Anyhow, months later when watching old videos I would notice a word he had been practicing at the time that wasn’t clear enough to understand back then.
My green cheek didn't talk at all when we rescued him he was about 1 year old. He started talking to us around 4 months later! His first word was my daughter's name Ava. He then went on to learn a TON of words from my Cockatoo and us! We have 5 parrots and one cockatiel. Love my birbs!
I once had a Cockatiel who obviously chose what he wanted to learn to say. When he heard something he wanted to learn, he would get very close to my mouth and turn his head sideways to listen. Once I had said it four or five times, he began to say it himself. It was funny. He called any four legged animal that he saw out the window a "puppy dog." (Squirrel, Cat, Dog, whatever LOL.)
Hey!!! How have you been don't think I've talked to ya in a while 😊 your Quaker still keeping you in line? Lol. Haha the cockatiel sounds hilarious 😂 they all for sure have their own personalities no doubt 😂
💔❤💗❣ First birb squad, I need your help. My blue Quaker flew away Oct 7th. We've been packing and it was stressing her out. Her name is Mardi Gra, her wings are more grey than Popples. Last seen in the Gordo area of Alabama close to Mississippi. Im desperate to find her as we move soon and it's now really cold out. Thank you. Second, Victoria, I heard in that clip Popples say, 'that was me' and 'Yoshi' I've noticed my conure will mimic the peek-a-boo intonation, not the actual words.
Now I want a Quaker too! Please don't cyber slap me, but I have two green cheeks, one green and one pineapple. How can I get them back to the sweetest birds ever instead of a mated pair? I've given away three babies, two green and one pineapple. They are in separate cages now. I also have a budgie. Fun fact, I named them each the wrong gender name. George Ernest is a female, and Melonie is a male. They are now Ernie and Mel. They both say Ernie and have some specific whistles. My heart goes out to Michelle because Ernie is my feather baby girl.
Does anyone know anything about Cobalt Quaker Parrots? He is 6months old and is grey but not the blue-y grey, but an actual grey like a rain cloud. I can’t find much online about it. He is definitely a Quaker parrot though.
Hi Victoria, My name is Kieran. I am interested a green cheeked conure and was looking for some advice. I am a student and i was wondering if I should get a bird. I have experience with other animals such as a crested gecko and a ball python. At the moment I have a dog and i'm worried the dog will hurt the bird.
💙🤗 Losing a bird, any pet, is hard. My heart goes out to her! Popples congrats on talking! That is adorable! Ahh! I think they will start doing it back and forth, Popples and Yoshi.
Awe my girl!!! How have you been thank you so much for coming to my yt 🥰 thank you I'm so excited for him!!! This will definitely be fun if they start doing it back and forth with each other so I'm hoping you're right! Haha. Thanks again girly 💜
I have a question, I just got a 22 year old quaker parrot recently and he like does this chatter thing and then dips his head down and turns his head to the side and he does this constantly back to back it's weird but is that normal
Dude I don't know I missed this 😂 I spent a lot of time editing the video and had headphones on so I don't understand how I missed that! Lol. Tell Dewey I said hi ☺️
My green-cheek conures first word was "make a poopie" now he picks up on the b word and can't stop saying it he thinks it's hilarious. My other green-cheek love saying peekaboo right now she is the cutest.
I heard popples saying Yoshi too. I am sooo excited for you! I just got a baby yellow greenlaced wing Indian Ringneck. Just turned 4 months old on October 3rd. I can't wait to hear her/him talk. Congradulations!!!
Well what the heck I must be deaf 😂😂😂 awe no way how exciting!!!! How's things going with him/her? Is the baby adjusting well? What did you name the Birdy? Thank you so much we are all super excited about him talking!!
@@VictoriaRyann Yes no kidding when Yoshi was coming up behind Popples ...Popples said Yoshi several times. Then Peekaboo then Yoshu again take another listen to him when you were filming him at his cage. Yes the little one is getting to know everything, cause everything is new to her/ him. That is so fun introducing new things. Mango is her favorite. She likes apple but if I have been giving her mango by hand then switch to apple she will drop it immediately. So funny how they know what they like and show us that if we pay attention. I named the little cutie Daisy... cause she/ he looks like one. Who knows in about a year or two may turn out to be a doozie. Lol! I'm ok with Daisy either way. Cause he/she is pretty as as Daisy.🌼🌱 🤗
@@beausmomnancy4671 haha well dang I'll have to listen!!! That is so cute Daisy sounds like such a doll!! I agree though it is so funny how they each have their own personalities as well as likes and dislikes. Birds are the best ☺️ thank you so much again and give Daisy a big hug for me
Congratulations on your talking baby! How sweet! He’s doing so good!! I’m sorry to the person who lost their bird. I lost Butter yesterday and I was inconsolable all day. Losing a baby is always so heartbreaking.
Hey girl!! Hope you and Patrick are doing well. Yeah I'm super excited for him this was so much fun! Thank you for saying that cause it was definitely a sad situation. Oh no girl I'm sorry to hear about Butters. Guess you can relate to the pain of losing an animal this is so sad to hear. You are a great mama to Butters don't forget that 💜 hoping for you to get through this.
I don't know how in the world I missed that!! Haha. I've been rewatching the clip and I'm in shock lol so proud of that lil dude! Thanks for noticing he said that and letting me know. This is so awesome!!!!!!! Have a good day 💜
Your like an aunt to me Victori I am gonna teach my birds to talk fluent English btw why don’t you shout me out I have been here since your subnautica days but I still love ya
First, I would like to send love to the friend that lost her bird. I'm so sorry you are going through such a painful time. Victoria, I have a yellow sided conure too. He is 1 1/2. I had also heard about taking to them at night for about a half hour before you put them to bed. If there was a specific word you wanted them to say, you repeat it multiple times . He was three months old when we brought him home and it was within about a month he started talking. He also learned the whistle I use to call my dog and now when he can't see me, he uses the whistle to get me to come back. I was wondering while watching the video if you would stop tapping and see the mess they made on the couch. It was hilarious that you tapped the end with that bit! Popples is beautiful! They seem to be a very sweet bird.
Thank you for the message Jeanne I'm sure she will appreciate reading that ☺️ awe yay we are yellow sided gcc sisters!!! Haha. Oh that's awesome youve heard the exact same advice. I'm going to start doing this as well and hopefully it will work out!! Must be some truth to it if you were able to get a gcc to talk that soon. They aren't even known for talking the way Quakers are so that's big! I love the whistling thing that is awesome 😂 oh Lord the sense of entitlement these two have to be walking around owning the place messing up my couch 😂 kids and birds are the reasons why we can't have nice things 😂😂 thank you so much again Jeanne I really appreciate your love and help. Hope you have a great week. Tell your gcc I said hi 😊
♥️. So sorry for the loss of your feathered baby. I can't even imagine the pain of of losing a pet. I have an 8 month old Jenday Conure (Emma) and she's my first pet (I'm 35years old) and I can't even imagine losing her. I would be beyond devastated.
Thanks girly for leaving that message for her! You are so right it's hard to even imagine that kind of pain. I'm willing to bet you are an awesome bird mama and your Jenday is a sweetheart ☺️💜 thank you again.
The more you talk to your Quaker the more he will talk. My Pickles (Quaker) chatted with me ALL day long. She would be in my room yelling "I WANNA KISS" When she was alone. Its was SO ADORABLE!! Quakers are SO SMART!! She said Pickles is a pretty bird... The more I laughed she would minic my laugh it was HILARIOUS.. I loved her with EVERYTHING in me. I cried she cried.. When I decided to move to El Paso I stayed with a friend & her dog killed pickles I was DEVASTATED my last video is her singing on our road trip.. I also taught her to fly back to me. She was something special.. Quakers are the best birds. Ive raised them over 20yrs now. I'll never go think otherwise. They are so INTELLIGENT
Good to see you guys are Metal fans aswell haha! Been watching awhile and finally getting my own Quaker soon due to your channel. When not touring and making music I have a few Cockatiels, Bourkes, and Budgies that I spend my time with. Inspiring little animals haha. Have a killer day guys
Hi again Victoria really love your energy and enthusiasm. Congratulations to Popples on his first word. As mentioned in a prior comment I am a blind bird keeper from England. Just wondered if there are any other of your followers who are visually impaired that would be interested in having contact and talking birds. Love to the lady who lost her green cheek I know how it feels and how heartbreaking it is to lose a little friend.☹️😢💔💛💛
Hey Helen thank you so much I really appreciate that!!! I will also let Popples know on his big congrats from you 😉😊 hmm I can think of one person in particular that commented a few weeks ago about being visually impaired. Because he was wanting a video on understanding parrot behaviors for those that are visually impaired. Can't remember the name though cause I'm old 😅😫 thank you for that sweet message I bet she will really appreciate that!!
Victoria Ryann thank you, Victoria, for responding so quickly. Should you be able to remember who that gentleman was who is visually impaired I would greatly appreciate it. I bet you are not as old as me....💋
I can hear him say Yoshi while he is in the cage as well. I have a 8 month old Quaker. Clara currently says “Kiss” “Peekaboo” “Kennel!” “Chop Chip” and makes several noises. Kisses, beginning of Mockingbird whistle, barks like a dog. I think it’s all about the emotion and just resonate a good memory. We do a lot of talking in the shower which is Clara’s favorite place. She gets tomato’s which are a huge rare treat when she masters something new. It is all about the game for them. They like to be entertained and play with us. 💙🐦🦖🦜
He also said Yoshi...and btw I have the same cage, my Quaker today got his foot caught on the left side of the latch, it was scary. Behind the last side of the latch there is a tiny gap. I got his foot out but it was scary.
So crazy!! Haha so I don't know what his first word truly was then 😅 oh my gosh thank you so much for informing me on this!!! That is super super scary. Even if this is a rare case and may not ever happen again, I'm glad you let me know. Were you able to do something to the latch afterwards to prevent this from happening again? I'm gonna take a look at mine today and see if there's anything I can do to it. Thank you again and I'm so glad your bird is ok and was able to get to him on time!
Hahahaha those two crack me up. One minute they're kissing next minute they are fighting over a piece of nutriberry lol. Typical siblings for sure. Yeah I was telling other people as well I don't know how the heck I didn't notice it 😂 thank you for pointing that out and hope you have a good Monday!!!
I actually have two quacker parrots myself A green male And blue female I thought it would take the girl a while to talk since she’s new this year and we had the male for 4 years and literally she mimiced the male and I was so happy when she said her first word.. Peak-a-boo!! Now she knows how to say step up and other noises as well! She can even fly after the ppl cut her wings bad!!
AAA congrats! It warms my heart to see people and there parrots happy! I have my lil bb ringneck I sadly have to give away because of my family being unable to stop him being destructive 😭. I have found a good home with an lots of time and care who is able to take my baby I’m going to miss him so much 💔
Awe thank you!!!! It is such a fun and loving time for sure. So happy for the lil dude. He's so smart 😊 awe I'm sorry to hear about your ringneck!!! Unfortunately situations like this happen. I'm glad you found a good home for him though this is great news. Hoping you're doing ok🥰
Victoria Ryann awe ur so sweet! So many people have told me I was a bad bird owner because I needed to rehome him. You are truly very kind and understanding
Hey there love your videos and I really need your help because well I’m choosing between a quaker parrot and a green cheek so I thought 💭 Since are experienced with those type of species can you give me so advice on it
My parents quaker, nelly, is a few months old and started talking today for me only. She spoke kore in 20 mins than she has in the entire 6 weeks weve had her. She clearly said peek a boo, pretty bird, and whatchadoin and gave her own reflection alot of vocal, chattery love lol Then she got cranky from molting and bit the crap out of my chest while sitting on the couch. It was a good day for her.
I think he said peekaboo because it was something you consistently said in context, and the context (suddenly looking at him) was fun. Parrots love that game like children do. It was one of the first things my IRN said too, and he still likes to play it most days, turning his head away for a few seconds as I duck down or cover my eyes with my hand, then turning to look at me and say it at the same time I do. They tend to mimic things said at a high pitch and with interesting inflections, so if you want Popples to learn "hello" it needs to be exaggerated like you would to a baby or even more so. Mine also likes making a soppy exaggerated "awwww" sound and bowing his head at the same time for snuggles, haha, anything emotional in one way or another, as you said, and in context so it's meaningful and if possible serves a specific function to them, they possible they pick up fast. :)
Aweeee you're IRN sounds like an absolute sweetheart!!! I hope to get to that point of playing games with Popples the way you do with your bird. Sounds like so much fun to teach them things like that. Thank you so much for that advice if definitely makes sense the way you explained it. Tell your ringneck I said hi and hope both of you have a great week!
@@VictoriaRyann Hi Victoria, all you have to do is play it "at them", like you do a child, and he will start to copy what you do except without hands, he'll just turn away. Then voila, you have a game. ☺️ Bo also copies my occasional laughter after a peekaboo "reveal", haha, which obviously isn't real laughter as birbs don't have diaphragms. P. S. Watching this again, you might have accidentally used Dr. Irene Pepperberg's Model-Rival Technique, in which you show them a behaviour that gets positive results for someone else, and unlike dogs, parrots and corvids are intelligent enough to try out what others do for themselves in the hope of the same results. It's how a city taught wild crows to put rubbish in bins for rewards. So maybe Popples saw and heard Emory getting attention and excitement from the peekaboo game and felt left out!
This video makes me so happy!! Your videos are actually the reason that I chose to adopt a Quaker myself, which I'm so glad I did. Mine says "step up" and mimics kissing noises back to me at 6 months old.
Awe that is so awesome thank you!! Quakers are the sweetest 🤗 especially when we take the time to understand their language they are the best companions! Sounds like your little birb is super smart. Thank you and I wish you two a very long happy life together 💜
Tui says alot of words, Peek a boo, it stinks, it sucks, squeeze those birdy cheeks, gimme a big kiss, she is such a pretty bird, and yes she is, I thought conures didnt talk, she suprised me. Alos when she wants to play she will say beaks, she loves to have her beak touched
Tui!!! Love that girl. Missed the Tui stories. She still rotten and ornery as usual? Lol. I need her to teach Popples how to say this sucks lol hope you've been doing well Marshall 🥰
@@VictoriaRyann yes she is, it is either her way or the highway, if her grapes are not cut up in a certain way, she will throw them to the floor. And you are not allowed to have friends over, she attacked me when she saw me hugging my neighbor's dog. she bit me so hard that i bleed a lot
Awe how exciting!!! Do you have any names picked out? Hmm id say the biggest tips I can give for the very beginning is really focusing on the bond. Don't worry too much about getting the disciplining and training perfect but of course still think about it and have some sort of a plan. But really focus on the friendship and learning about each other. That bond is the foundation to everything with you and your bird. So if there's no bond it will make everything else like disciplining and training harder. Spend quality time together not quantity. Hope this is enough to get ya started and please keep us updated on how things go!
Thank you for responding! We don’t have a solid name yet, but we will be getting him next week (sooner than I thought lol) I’ll try to keep you updated and I hope you don’t mind me asking you more questions :) I love your personality and your channel
I really love your energy , and your love for your birds is very inspiring .... Thank you so much ..... I keep birds too ♥️ I have a pineapple conjure named Guppy.. he mimics my kissing sounds lol
I want a Quaker parrot 🥰🥰🥰🥰 IM IN LOVE 😍 but I kno I have to wait to introduce a new bird into the home. My baby still has to get used to her new home. She was n the pet store for 2 months before I got her. So this isn't her first home. I want her FULLY comfortable first
so cute! my mother rescued my quaker last september in front of our house n the sec we saw each other we got attached! took him to my place immediately, he funnily enough started saying my husband's name a few days later who he can't stand 😂 now he's so fluent in alot of phrases n now tries to level up by singing along to songs (we have our weekly karaoke sessions 🤣) he's so fun! such a sweetheart, aside from bein antisocial with anyone who isnt me, hes adorable n he loves chilling next to one of my dogs which stresses me out but thankfully my dog is chill ~ quakers r truly one of a kind!
How did u get your birds to b ok with your nails???? I have always had long stilletos but my new quaker seemed so scared when I would go anywhere near her so when I got my fill I had them shorten them so much, now I feel naked lol
I lost my Russian Blue Cat of 13 years. Her name was Coaltrain Pheyonah Kitt and she was my everything. She died May 9, 2018 and I'm still grieving. My baby thought she was human. She called me Mom & I'm male. She knew how to talk and understood anything I said to her.
How adorable!! It is so crazy when you realize your bird is talking! You know he says Yoshi also right? He will start saying a lot of things. Sing to him they love songs!! I sing Baby Shark to my guys only I sing Baby Bird and both my talkers sing it and it's adorable!! So excited for you!💙💙💙 Sending much love to the fellow bird mom who lost her baby!😢❤
Wendy!! How was vacation are you glad to be home? I was sooooo excited when he started talking! Omg my daughter is obsessed with baby shark and that's what she's wanting to be for Halloween lol I'll have to wear that song out for the birds as well 😂 I completely missed Popples saying Yoshi! Haha so excited but I am such a ding dong for not noticing lol. Thanks Wendy I appreciate ya. Tell the flock I said hi and thank you for the loving message to our fellow bird mama 💜
@@VictoriaRyann vacation was so much fun! I caught some nasty bug and was sick the whole next week but that's life I guess!! I know when my parrotlet started saying 'give me a kiss' it took me awhile to realize that is what he was saying. You will probably be so surprised the words he will start to say. I think it's always best to not expect our birds to talk and then when they do it's an added bonus...Right? Love ya girl Have a great week!! Give your cuties a kiss from me!!😘
Hi I’m Jessica and I’m new to your channel and I have a Quaker parrot named Mr pickle and the video of your quaker talking was so adorable, especially when your other bird put his head underneath his bum. It was so cute and my bird says peekaboo but another word I don’t know how he came about. It is when I give him something to eat like a treat, and I say what do you say, and he will then say good and that’s him saying please, but I don’t know how we came about to say that.But I can’t shut him up he never stops talking and I was so scared that he was never gonna talk because I got a quaker parrot also because I heard how well they do with talking.
I have a Quaker that is a year old but he does not talk.... the only thing he knows how to do is laugh and tries to mimic when we cough.there was times when he barks like a little puppy when we’re not around. But I love him so much🥰

Victoria Ryann hi i am from Saudi Arabia I love ur channel I have the same parrot but still chicks do they fight if I but them in one big cage
I'm investigating house training a parrot and discovered a great resource at Parrot ploy plan (google it if you are interested)
u so cute sweety
❤
7:46 He says Yoshi twice!!! How adorable. My favorite Video yet
I have been replaying the clip over and over again this is so cool! Haha. Tell my girl kiwi I said hi and love her so much 😘💜
I think he said yoshi here and then yoshi
yes he said Yoshi
I heard him say yoshi also
I just subscribed! You are so helpful and definitely present some of the biggest problems and tell us how to approach them. Thank you so much
“Pikabo!”
“Ahhhh”
“Hehehehehe”
I have the same exact birds!!! Booberry is my BQ and EV (pronounced Evie) my green cheek. I’m a diehard Pearl Jam fan, lol. My BQ mimics too!! He makes kissy noises and laughs when I laugh, it sounds like she’s making fun of me, which makes me die laughing 😂. I’m sooo excited to hear Popples talking, yayyyy!!!
To the dear lady who lost her baby bird...I’m so very sorry 💔. I can’t even imagine how you feel....my sincerest condolences ❤️.
Ahhh that is so cool!!! Don't Quakers and gccs work so well together? Their different types of craziness balances each other out lol. My husband is a fan of Pearl Jam he would definitely be able to relate there lol I had an English teacher in school that was OBSESSED with Eddie Vedder haha. Had multiple posters of just him in the classroom 😆 haha I know what you mean about having a bird laugh at you. They are hilarious. Thank you so much and it's so cool your Quaker mimics as well! Thank you for the message to our friend that was very sweet of you. Thank you again and tell your birdies I said hi 🥰
Victoria Ryann, they really do! My Quaker is totally mellow and content to sit on top of her cage and groom, my GC is the wild child, demands attention and a total ham. I’ve never owned birds, so I really had no idea what to expect. I’m a diehard animal lover, so giving them a good home was always going to be the case, but I never expected they would love me just as much :’•}. They are the most precious and surprising little gifts of life! I love them soooo much!!!
Just found your video and really love the environment here… Someone I know in her 50’s who really want to get a parrot, she’s been watching and researching on what it takes to have a parrot but hesitating sue to age, would a Quaker parrot ( avg lifespan of 25years) like Poples be suitable for her?
Sounds like he is,saying something else too like yoshi?
It sounds exactly like he is saying Yoshi!
I thought so too..
I heard him say Yoshi too. A few times!
And he is laughing as well. He is adorable!
Pretty sure he was saying Peekaboo Yoshi lol
I had to laugh when Yoshi stuck his head under Popples when you were talking through the cage. Pure 'I want to be involved too' moment!
Fierce and scary black nails by the way. Perfect for Halloween 👻
Hahaha he's such an attention hog he cracks me up 😂 he wanted in on the fun for sure. Lol thank you so much! I actually had to file them down a bit shortly after that video because I stabbed my man on accident 😂

Twitch - www.twitch.tv/victoriryann/
LOL Victoria!
Right on!
He said, Peekaboo as clear as day AND he said *Yoshi* did you catch it?
Remember my Quaker, Peekaboo I've spoken about before? He was a BIG & very clear talker w/a HUGE vocabulary. He was repeating words the 1st time hearing them. He also started putting words together. My Quaker's name was Peekaboo & that was his only word he knew at the time I rescued his previous owners from Peekaboo. He was too much for them to handle & couldn't wait to send him home w/me. Their loss my gain because Peekaboo was a awesome bird!!
Now that Popples has started talking he could very well start learning new words much more quickly because he knows it excites you & makes you happy & most of all because he'll figure out you will engage him more. Exciting!!! You will have such a blast watching him learn new words & even understand the meaning of words he's saying. Way to go Popples!!!! 🤣🤣👍👏👏
Hahahahaha that's what I've been seeing in th comments and I'm shocked!!! I had no idea he said Yoshi as well 😂 this is so much fun I'm so excited!!! I love the relationship with you and Peekaboo it is so cute and genuine 💜 Peekaboo is a special Birdy and you are a lovely bird mama. Thank you for everything!!! I can't wait to start teaching him new words 🥰🥰🥰🥰
@@VictoriaRyann did you play back the video & hear him say, YOSHI yet? It's so much fun when our birdies begin talking. My male Ekkie is talking a lot now, he's so funny. 1 thing he does is he mimics my laugh each & every time after I laugh.
Oh yes finally! Haha. It's so cool!!! Awe your Ekkie is awesome 😂 they crack me up when they laugh lol
@@VictoriaRyann
Popples knows his name just like he knows who Yoshi is. Try this, have your hubby be in the room with you & Popples alone, without Yoshi. Leave the room & say *good bye*. After you leave have your hubby call you to return by the name you want Popples to call you by. Ask him to say, *Victoria* or *Mom* & then return to the room. Do it a few times, this is how he'll figure out your name & before you know it, he will be calling you by your name. This is how you teach Popples the meaning of words, by putting action to the words. He will figure this out very quickly & will begin putting 2 or more words together. Example: *Bye Mom* or *Mom, come here*.
Reverse & call your husband into the room & then your daughter. He will know every family members name & will call whichever one of you he wants. It's a really fun game to play. Popples will want to show off to show you how good he is so make sure you praise him like crazy. He will be so excited.
I think he was saying Yoshi too.
Don't know how I missed that Meg 😂 guess he knows two words lol
He did say Yoshi.
My Quaker , we got him when he was about 9 years we believe. We think he was a Breeder bird, his band was wrong, he came with no papers, and he was traumatized from his before life so bad that the only thing he would do is hide in a corner, quake , back up, and shake his head no every time we tried to get close. He was obviously not talking at that point but about 3 ish months later he started saying mama and that was where it all started. As I’m typing he is yelling “hi bubba”, “Amber”, “watcha doin”, etc. it took my Quaker what we believe to be almost 9.5 years to talk or however old he is truly to this day so you should never under estimate another living being
Awe I love his story. Hate he had to go through all of that but so happy you both found each other 💜 the way some of these people treat birds is absolutely ridiculous. Hope we can eliminate at least some of that. But that's awesome he ended up talking!!! You are so right though we should definitely not underestimate another living being. Shouldn't have underestimated Popples cause wow I was starting to believe he wasn't going to talk. But thank you again for sharing your birds story it was so sweet to read and comes to show just how strong parrots are especially when they have a strong human companion with them! Thank you again Amber ☺️
Victoria Ryann Victoria Ryann exactly. I definitely wish I could save ALL of the hurt birds but that’s just a dream so I will continue to care for the ones I have access to as one would do, I also think a lot about that saying “bird brained” when people use that as an insult, in most cases birds are more superior to humans and again should not be underestimated. I love sharing these types of stories, they seem so unreal at times and I love it, I wish everyone could look at birds the way a bird parent does. Thank you for responding, I can tell popples is going to do incredible things on a bird level... or maybe a human level, never know!!! 💕
My green cheek’s first word was “pretty bird.” In the morning I would uncover her and say “Hi pretty bird!” in an enthusiastic tone. I think this worked partially because birds are typically very excited to see you in the morning, and they seem to be more focused on what you are doing or saying.
Oh I love this advice thank you Kaylee!! Love how your bird says pretty bird that is so cute. I can definitely see that though cause my birds go nuts in the morning when I walk in lol. Maybe really focus on saying words enthusiasticly in morning and night? Thank you so much!
My quaker is grumpy in the a.m. lol. Won't stop squawking after I get home from work until I get her on my shoulder, you can tell it takes her a second to wake up, maybe it's cause I wake up at 5 a:m
Good for you Popples. You are right about putting emotions when you teach your bird.
My moustache parakeet is talking now. What I have observed is when teaching your bird to talk is put the action to the word, for instance when I first see him in the morning, I say good morning and at bedtime I say goodnight and that way they can associate the word with the action. I also say breakfast when feeding breakfast etc. Instead of your bird mimicking he can associate actions with words. They also pick words that are easy to say.
Sorry about your friends conure passing 😓
You know I was watching and my heart was breaking, I was thinking I know how that person feels ... Then I realised derr it's you lol you made me cry ... I miss Ernie everyday, and I always will. Thank you for your kind words there are a few special people in life and you are one of them and I'm lucky to know you :) so so loved seeing popples talk !!! So so clever you should be proud but hey he has an amazing owner and the best life a bird could hope for , Much love mate xoxo
RIP Ernie, lovely name too. Always makes me think of the song about the milkman.
Awe thanks girly and good for you to find the courage to say this was you that I was talking about. Like you and I have talked about, the world can be so cruel and judgemental. But I hope that you see from everyone's comments here they all love ya and want you to get through this. You're an amazing person Michelle don't forget that. Forever loving and missing Ernie 💜 Thank you for the compliments now cut out all the mooshy sappy stuff and get back to messaging about things that bloody annoys us 😂 thank you I'm proud of my lil fluff butt Popples haha.
I'm so sorry for your loss of Ernie. We've only had our Quaker for a month and I can't imagine life without him. I'm pretty sure we got our Quaker because of Victoria. Stay strong and lots of Live from the #birbsquad 💚💚
"Love"
Oh Michelle, I'm so sorry for your loss. Please accept my condolences. Our feather family stays in our heart, even after they are gone.
Congrats for popples being able to talk!💐😀🐦
Also for that person im so sorry for your lost of your green cheek💝♥
Thank you so much!!! We are all super pumped lol. Also thank you for the message to our friend. That was very sweet of you to say 💜
When he was in the cage it sounds like he said yoshi 8:05
Hiii icey. I've been rewatching that to try and catch it lol
I thought I heard Yoshi too!
Me too
I think he was saying Yoshi too.
meg's utube me too
Sounded like ‘oopsie’ too, like “oopsie, yoshi” when Yoshi tried squeezing into view.
❤️💚💗💞♥️💙 leaving plenty of hearts to whom who lost their bird, i know how it feels just know all of us are here for you!❤️💚💗💞♥️💙
This was so kind thank you for taking the time to type that for her. Truly appreciate it we are all lucky to have people like you help one another out 💜
Yes we are here for and I hope you do recover soon it is traumatic to loose any loved one
Girlfriend who is grieving her GC Conure. So sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you...Your loss reminds me of the pets that I've lost in one way or another. Whether it's our fault or not because we are responsible for them and because guilt is a natural part of grief. Please let go of that part because you know you loved and cared for your bird to the best of your ability. I pray you find peace and comfort.
He said YOSHI in your video also!
I must be the world's biggest ding dong cause everyone noticed it but me 😂 my husband texted me from work this morning and was like.... Umm yeah he definitely said Yoshi it's clear as day. Lol.
Victoria Ryann that’s okay, you were excited he said Peekaboo. But yes, Yoshi was very clear, did you hear it?
Victoria Ryann said Yoshi like 4 times!!
@@tracygigliotti7027 yes finally!! Haha. Everyone was right it was very obvious he said it. So excited! You're right though I must of been so focused on peekaboo lol
Hey silly girl!! Popples was saying "peek a boo", but he did say "Yoshi" for sure! Congrats , I know I told you that Jake does talk many phrases and words but Isn't it so exciting!! I've heard that if you have more than one bird, usually they can teach each other words! So Hey, just love it! Thanx for sharing this with us, I love you soo much, P.s., I consider you my friend, because of your personality and how similar you and I raise our birbs!!! Can't wait for more of your exciting vids., and there is never a dull moment on your videos!!! Lol Oh and with Jake I talk to him while we are moving from room to room and I tell him what I'm doing, he picks up on it bigtime, example: I'll say "let's go upstairs then I will say let's go upstairs and take a bath, so now he says "let's go upstairs and take a bath" as soon as me and Jake enter the bathroom! Weird, I know but it's true. When I want him to go potty on the wastebasket in a certain room, he now says "Jake go potty" as soon as I set him on the basket! Anyway I could give better examples but pretty sure you get my drift! Lol It's like he is putting the words in context, he will say step up before I ask him, totally strange but I still say it anyhow after he says it( like you were just telling us) HAPPY DAYS!👍👍👍🤣😘
Aweee thank you Carol love you too I appreciate that so much 😭 thank you that is so kind of you. Even though TH-cam gets on my dang nerves half the time it is the best thing ever meeting other passionate bird lovers like you 🥰 you're the best. I would be so sad if I didn't get the latest news about Jake haha! Love that lil dude. Definitely going to try out your tactics with how you keep Jake talking and learning new words! I'm writing all of this stuff down so I be sure to encourage Popples more lol. Thank you for the tips I really appreciate them all and give Jakey a hug for me 🤗
All i have is my animals ! So yas girl keep your head up 💞💘 my budgie dove.passed away a year ago ! But he use.to screeeeam meow meow meow for.my attention and i didnt even a cat so not sure where he learnt ir 🤣😂 so cute !!
I think he said yoshi also, in that last clip. I heard it twice.
Man why did everybody notice this but me 😂 now I don't know what technically his first word was. Was it peekaboo or Yoshi the world will never know 😂
I heard it too!!
Yep he definitely said Yoshi, peekaboo.
I also heard a lot of other practice chatter on you first clip. Pluto used to practice for hours when he was a baby and sometimes I would just put the camera on and leave. Quakers are definitely closet talkers when practicing. Anyhow, months later when watching old videos I would notice a word he had been practicing at the time that wasn’t clear enough to understand back then.
Yes! I heard Yoshi loud and clear! ❤️
My green cheek didn't talk at all when we rescued him he was about 1 year old. He started talking to us around 4 months later! His first word was my daughter's name Ava. He then went on to learn a TON of words from my Cockatoo and us! We have 5 parrots and one cockatiel. Love my birbs!
Thats so cool, Whats your favorite thing he said to you recently, or in the past?
❤💞💗💕💓
💔
I once had a Cockatiel who obviously chose what he wanted to learn to say. When he heard something he wanted to learn, he would get very close to my mouth and turn his head sideways to listen. Once I had said it four or five times, he began to say it himself.
It was funny. He called any four legged animal that he saw out the window a "puppy dog." (Squirrel, Cat, Dog, whatever LOL.)
Hey!!! How have you been don't think I've talked to ya in a while 😊 your Quaker still keeping you in line? Lol. Haha the cockatiel sounds hilarious 😂 they all for sure have their own personalities no doubt 😂
YAYAYAYAY!!! I'm so excited for you! Love you a ton! Thanks so much❤❤ (💛 and a lil heart for my grieving sis)
💔❤💗❣
First birb squad, I need your help. My blue Quaker flew away Oct 7th. We've been packing and it was stressing her out. Her name is Mardi Gra, her wings are more grey than Popples. Last seen in the Gordo area of Alabama close to Mississippi. Im desperate to find her as we move soon and it's now really cold out. Thank you.
Second, Victoria, I heard in that clip Popples say, 'that was me' and 'Yoshi'
I've noticed my conure will mimic the peek-a-boo intonation, not the actual words.
For sure he is also saying Yoshi peekaboo!!
Now I want a Quaker too! Please don't cyber slap me, but I have two green cheeks, one green and one pineapple. How can I get them back to the sweetest birds ever instead of a mated pair? I've given away three babies, two green and one pineapple. They are in separate cages now. I also have a budgie. Fun fact, I named them each the wrong gender name. George Ernest is a female, and Melonie is a male. They are now Ernie and Mel. They both say Ernie and have some specific whistles. My heart goes out to Michelle because Ernie is my feather baby girl.
Does anyone know anything about Cobalt Quaker Parrots? He is 6months old and is grey but not the blue-y grey, but an actual grey like a rain cloud. I can’t find much online about it. He is definitely a Quaker parrot though.
Hi Victoria, My name is Kieran. I am interested a green cheeked conure and was looking for some advice. I am a student and i was wondering if I should get a bird. I have experience with other animals such as a crested gecko and a ball python. At the moment I have a dog and i'm worried the dog will hurt the bird.
I wonder if Yoshi has ever said anything. I know it's not very common for green cheeks to talk, but it could happen.
💙🤗 Losing a bird, any pet, is hard. My heart goes out to her!
Popples congrats on talking! That is adorable! Ahh! I think they will start doing it back and forth, Popples and Yoshi.
Awe my girl!!! How have you been thank you so much for coming to my yt 🥰 thank you I'm so excited for him!!! This will definitely be fun if they start doing it back and forth with each other so I'm hoping you're right! Haha. Thanks again girly 💜
I have a question, I just got a 22 year old quaker parrot recently and he like does this chatter thing and then dips his head down and turns his head to the side and he does this constantly back to back it's weird but is that normal
At 7.45 he says Yoshi twice, listen carefully and stay on it! He will keep growing his vocabulary!
Dude I don't know I missed this 😂 I spent a lot of time editing the video and had headphones on so I don't understand how I missed that! Lol. Tell Dewey I said hi ☺️
@@VictoriaRyann I told him you said hi, he just said birdy poop.
My green-cheek conures first word was "make a poopie" now he picks up on the b word and can't stop saying it he thinks it's hilarious. My other green-cheek love saying peekaboo right now she is the cutest.
I heard popples saying Yoshi too. I am sooo excited for you! I just got a baby yellow greenlaced wing Indian Ringneck. Just turned 4 months old on October 3rd. I can't wait to hear her/him talk. Congradulations!!!
Well what the heck I must be deaf 😂😂😂 awe no way how exciting!!!! How's things going with him/her? Is the baby adjusting well? What did you name the Birdy? Thank you so much we are all super excited about him talking!!
@@VictoriaRyann Yes no kidding when Yoshi was coming up behind Popples ...Popples said Yoshi several times. Then Peekaboo then Yoshu again take another listen to him when you were filming him at his cage. Yes the little one is getting to know everything, cause everything is new to her/ him. That is so fun introducing new things. Mango is her favorite. She likes apple but if I have been giving her mango by hand then switch to apple she will drop it immediately. So funny how they know what they like and show us that if we pay attention. I named the little cutie Daisy... cause she/ he looks like one. Who knows in about a year or two may turn out to be a doozie. Lol! I'm ok with Daisy either way. Cause he/she is pretty as as Daisy.🌼🌱 🤗
@@beausmomnancy4671 haha well dang I'll have to listen!!! That is so cute Daisy sounds like such a doll!! I agree though it is so funny how they each have their own personalities as well as likes and dislikes. Birds are the best ☺️ thank you so much again and give Daisy a big hug for me
❤️
hey victoria im wondering how much birds mess home when they are free and what can i do about that
Congratulations on your talking baby! How sweet! He’s doing so good!! I’m sorry to the person who lost their bird. I lost Butter yesterday and I was inconsolable all day. Losing a baby is always so heartbreaking.
Hey girl!! Hope you and Patrick are doing well. Yeah I'm super excited for him this was so much fun! Thank you for saying that cause it was definitely a sad situation. Oh no girl I'm sorry to hear about Butters. Guess you can relate to the pain of losing an animal this is so sad to hear. You are a great mama to Butters don't forget that 💜 hoping for you to get through this.
Victoria Ryann thank you, you’re so sweet. We are doing good! I hope you and your family are good too! 💗 thank you for the sweet words.
omgosh so cute! Sounds like he was saying something else too!
Sending hugs to the poor lady who lost her little friend. No words to console you, but here for you!
❤️ Great video Victoria!
On a sidenote did he say Yoshi?
I also heard him say Yoshi
Polly Pocket he said it so well. So cute! ❤️
Thanks girl I appreciate it 😊 definitely exciting time!! I don't know how y'all caught him saying Yoshi I'm a complete dweeb for not noticing lol.
Aww, that's so cute! I love talking parrots
Aren't they AWESOME!? haha hope u have a happy Monday
I have a green cheek conure and a blue Quaker parrot 😂😂
OMG the clip of you in front of his cage while he is saying peek a boo, is he also saying yoshi?!?
I think he knows two words ! He says peek a boo and he also says Yoshi !
I don't know how in the world I missed that!! Haha. I've been rewatching the clip and I'm in shock lol so proud of that lil dude! Thanks for noticing he said that and letting me know. This is so awesome!!!!!!! Have a good day 💜
He also said yoshi I after you said you can say pick a boo
Your like an aunt to me Victori I am gonna teach my birds to talk fluent English btw why don’t you shout me out I have been here since your subnautica days but I still love ya
Haha I'll be your aunt Wow!! Good luck to you and your birdies and yay for the support since subnautica!!!
First, I would like to send love to the friend that lost her bird. I'm so sorry you are going through such a painful time.
Victoria, I have a yellow sided conure too. He is 1 1/2. I had also heard about taking to them at night for about a half hour before you put them to bed. If there was a specific word you wanted them to say, you repeat it multiple times . He was three months old when we brought him home and it was within about a month he started talking. He also learned the whistle I use to call my dog and now when he can't see me, he uses the whistle to get me to come back.
I was wondering while watching the video if you would stop tapping and see the mess they made on the couch. It was hilarious that you tapped the end with that bit! Popples is beautiful! They seem to be a very sweet bird.
Thank you for the message Jeanne I'm sure she will appreciate reading that ☺️ awe yay we are yellow sided gcc sisters!!! Haha. Oh that's awesome youve heard the exact same advice. I'm going to start doing this as well and hopefully it will work out!! Must be some truth to it if you were able to get a gcc to talk that soon. They aren't even known for talking the way Quakers are so that's big! I love the whistling thing that is awesome 😂 oh Lord the sense of entitlement these two have to be walking around owning the place messing up my couch 😂 kids and birds are the reasons why we can't have nice things 😂😂 thank you so much again Jeanne I really appreciate your love and help. Hope you have a great week. Tell your gcc I said hi 😊
♥️. So sorry for the loss of your feathered baby. I can't even imagine the pain of of losing a pet. I have an 8 month old Jenday Conure (Emma) and she's my first pet (I'm 35years old) and I can't even imagine losing her. I would be beyond devastated.
Thanks girly for leaving that message for her! You are so right it's hard to even imagine that kind of pain. I'm willing to bet you are an awesome bird mama and your Jenday is a sweetheart ☺️💜 thank you again.
The more you talk to your Quaker the more he will talk. My Pickles (Quaker) chatted with me ALL day long. She would be in my room yelling "I WANNA KISS" When she was alone. Its was SO ADORABLE!! Quakers are SO SMART!! She said Pickles is a pretty bird... The more I laughed she would minic my laugh it was HILARIOUS.. I loved her with EVERYTHING in me. I cried she cried.. When I decided to move to El Paso I stayed with a friend & her dog killed pickles I was DEVASTATED my last video is her singing on our road trip.. I also taught her to fly back to me. She was something special.. Quakers are the best birds. Ive raised them over 20yrs now. I'll never go think otherwise. They are so INTELLIGENT
Good to see you guys are Metal fans aswell haha! Been watching awhile and finally getting my own Quaker soon due to your channel. When not touring and making music I have a few Cockatiels, Bourkes, and Budgies that I spend my time with. Inspiring little animals haha. Have a killer day guys
Hi again Victoria really love your energy and enthusiasm. Congratulations to Popples on his first word. As mentioned in a prior comment I am a blind bird keeper from England. Just wondered if there are any other of your followers who are visually impaired that would be interested in having contact and talking birds. Love to the lady who lost her green cheek I know how it feels and how heartbreaking it is to lose a little friend.☹️😢💔💛💛
Hey Helen thank you so much I really appreciate that!!! I will also let Popples know on his big congrats from you 😉😊 hmm I can think of one person in particular that commented a few weeks ago about being visually impaired. Because he was wanting a video on understanding parrot behaviors for those that are visually impaired. Can't remember the name though cause I'm old 😅😫 thank you for that sweet message I bet she will really appreciate that!!
Victoria Ryann thank you, Victoria, for responding so quickly. Should you be able to remember who that gentleman was who is visually impaired I would greatly appreciate it. I bet you are not as old as me....💋
I can hear him say Yoshi while he is in the cage as well.
I have a 8 month old Quaker. Clara currently says “Kiss” “Peekaboo” “Kennel!” “Chop Chip” and makes several noises. Kisses, beginning of Mockingbird whistle, barks like a dog.
I think it’s all about the emotion and just resonate a good memory. We do a lot of talking in the shower which is Clara’s favorite place. She gets tomato’s which are a huge rare treat when she masters something new. It is all about the game for them. They like to be entertained and play with us. 💙🐦🦖🦜
Thanks a lot for your videos 😁
He also said Yoshi...and btw I have the same cage, my Quaker today got his foot caught on the left side of the latch, it was scary. Behind the last side of the latch there is a tiny gap. I got his foot out but it was scary.
So crazy!! Haha so I don't know what his first word truly was then 😅 oh my gosh thank you so much for informing me on this!!! That is super super scary. Even if this is a rare case and may not ever happen again, I'm glad you let me know. Were you able to do something to the latch afterwards to prevent this from happening again? I'm gonna take a look at mine today and see if there's anything I can do to it. Thank you again and I'm so glad your bird is ok and was able to get to him on time!
He definitely said Yoshi and peekaboo.
Hey, check out at 4:27, Popples and Yoshi are kissing! When he was saying peek a boo to you, Popples also said Yoshi, did you know?
Hahahaha those two crack me up. One minute they're kissing next minute they are fighting over a piece of nutriberry lol. Typical siblings for sure. Yeah I was telling other people as well I don't know how the heck I didn't notice it 😂 thank you for pointing that out and hope you have a good Monday!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤
So awesome!!! I love quakers and I love all your birbs! 🥰 popples has such a cute voice!!
I actually have two quacker parrots myself
A green male
And blue female
I thought it would take the girl a while to talk since she’s new this year and we had the male for 4 years and literally she mimiced the male and I was so happy when she said her first word..
Peak-a-boo!!
Now she knows how to say step up and other noises as well! She can even fly after the ppl cut her wings bad!!
Just got a green cheek and you vids help me a LOT with it. This vid also makes me kinda wanna get a quaker in a few years.
AAA congrats! It warms my heart to see people and there parrots happy! I have my lil bb ringneck I sadly have to give away because of my family being unable to stop him being destructive 😭. I have found a good home with an lots of time and care who is able to take my baby I’m going to miss him so much 💔
Awe thank you!!!! It is such a fun and loving time for sure. So happy for the lil dude. He's so smart 😊 awe I'm sorry to hear about your ringneck!!! Unfortunately situations like this happen. I'm glad you found a good home for him though this is great news. Hoping you're doing ok🥰
Victoria Ryann awe ur so sweet! So many people have told me I was a bad bird owner because I needed to rehome him. You are truly very kind and understanding
@@archieringneck2851 ugh people can be so judgemental sometimes. But thank you for saying that and no you are not a horrible person!
At 8:06 "Yoshi" - love his laugh!
Obsessed with your nails
Thanks Addy! Gotta match my birds 😉
Hey there love your videos and I really need your help because well I’m choosing between a quaker parrot and a green cheek so I thought 💭
Since are experienced with those type of species can you give me so advice on it
CONGRATS POPPLES HOPE I SPELLED THAT RIGHT CONGRATS👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Ahhhhh thanks Tessa thank you so much! You nailed it with his name. Thank you 😊
💚🙏
That wicked little laugh 😂 is the best
Gahhhhhhh that shiiiiirrrttttt!!! Huge NIN fan, and a lady on the verge of gettin a biiiird ❤
He says yoshi I too!
My parents quaker, nelly, is a few months old and started talking today for me only. She spoke kore in 20 mins than she has in the entire 6 weeks weve had her. She clearly said peek a boo, pretty bird, and whatchadoin and gave her own reflection alot of vocal, chattery love lol
Then she got cranky from molting and bit the crap out of my chest while sitting on the couch. It was a good day for her.
So cute!! I heard Yoshi at 7:47! And of course Peekaboo!
I don't know how I missed this Sharon but everyone is catching this before me 😂😂 so excited though!!! Thank you 😊
*heart emoji*
I think he said peekaboo because it was something you consistently said in context, and the context (suddenly looking at him) was fun. Parrots love that game like children do. It was one of the first things my IRN said too, and he still likes to play it most days, turning his head away for a few seconds as I duck down or cover my eyes with my hand, then turning to look at me and say it at the same time I do. They tend to mimic things said at a high pitch and with interesting inflections, so if you want Popples to learn "hello" it needs to be exaggerated like you would to a baby or even more so. Mine also likes making a soppy exaggerated "awwww" sound and bowing his head at the same time for snuggles, haha, anything emotional in one way or another, as you said, and in context so it's meaningful and if possible serves a specific function to them, they possible they pick up fast. :)
Aweeee you're IRN sounds like an absolute sweetheart!!! I hope to get to that point of playing games with Popples the way you do with your bird. Sounds like so much fun to teach them things like that. Thank you so much for that advice if definitely makes sense the way you explained it. Tell your ringneck I said hi and hope both of you have a great week!
@@VictoriaRyann Hi Victoria, all you have to do is play it "at them", like you do a child, and he will start to copy what you do except without hands, he'll just turn away. Then voila, you have a game. ☺️ Bo also copies my occasional laughter after a peekaboo "reveal", haha, which obviously isn't real laughter as birbs don't have diaphragms. P. S. Watching this again, you might have accidentally used Dr. Irene Pepperberg's Model-Rival Technique, in which you show them a behaviour that gets positive results for someone else, and unlike dogs, parrots and corvids are intelligent enough to try out what others do for themselves in the hope of the same results. It's how a city taught wild crows to put rubbish in bins for rewards. So maybe Popples saw and heard Emory getting attention and excitement from the peekaboo game and felt left out!
Do the birds poe everywhere. Cause mine does every 7-15 mins
My Quaker say (what happen) in Spanish (que paso)
Dude that's awesome! I've gotta try to teach Popples some Spanish words
This video makes me so happy!! Your videos are actually the reason that I chose to adopt a Quaker myself, which I'm so glad I did. Mine says "step up" and mimics kissing noises back to me at 6 months old.
Awe that is so awesome thank you!! Quakers are the sweetest 🤗 especially when we take the time to understand their language they are the best companions! Sounds like your little birb is super smart. Thank you and I wish you two a very long happy life together 💜
Tui says alot of words, Peek a boo, it stinks, it sucks, squeeze those birdy cheeks, gimme a big kiss, she is such a pretty bird, and yes she is, I thought conures didnt talk, she suprised me. Alos when she wants to play she will say beaks, she loves to have her beak touched
Tui!!! Love that girl. Missed the Tui stories. She still rotten and ornery as usual? Lol. I need her to teach Popples how to say this sucks lol hope you've been doing well Marshall 🥰
@@VictoriaRyann yes she is, it is either her way or the highway, if her grapes are not cut up in a certain way, she will throw them to the floor. And you are not allowed to have friends over, she attacked me when she saw me hugging my neighbor's dog. she bit me so hard that i bleed a lot
Hello! Imma be getting a green cheek very soon (2 or 3 weeks) any tips? I have not been a birb momma yet and I could use help. Thanks!
Awe how exciting!!! Do you have any names picked out? Hmm id say the biggest tips I can give for the very beginning is really focusing on the bond. Don't worry too much about getting the disciplining and training perfect but of course still think about it and have some sort of a plan. But really focus on the friendship and learning about each other. That bond is the foundation to everything with you and your bird. So if there's no bond it will make everything else like disciplining and training harder. Spend quality time together not quantity. Hope this is enough to get ya started and please keep us updated on how things go!
Thank you for responding! We don’t have a solid name yet, but we will be getting him next week (sooner than I thought lol) I’ll try to keep you updated and I hope you don’t mind me asking you more questions :) I love your personality and your channel
I use to have a green Quaker parrot, she flew away. She was trained to not fly away.
I cried for 6 days
And in school. ❤️ Miss u kiwi
Awe girl this is so sad :( I'm hoping you find some peace to move forward. Going through something like that is never easy! 💜Kiwi
Oof
New here ...loved everything about this channel , you and your birds are breath of fresh air . Greetings from Pakistan.🥰♥️
Awe thank you this was so kind of you to say thanks!!! So neat you're all the way from Pakistan. Hope you're having a good week and thank you again ☺️
I really love your energy , and your love for your birds is very inspiring .... Thank you so much ..... I keep birds too ♥️ I have a pineapple conjure named Guppy.. he mimics my kissing sounds lol
My bird loved to pick up words that had gestures to go with the words, like leaning forward for kisses, or nodding you head while saying ‘haha’ :)
Omg I can believe I’m this early yesss love your video and I was thinking about a Quaker parrot
Thanks for coming early! Lol. Keep me updated if you end up getting one! I wanna hear all about it
I want a Quaker parrot 🥰🥰🥰🥰 IM IN LOVE 😍 but I kno I have to wait to introduce a new bird into the home. My baby still has to get used to her new home. She was n the pet store for 2 months before I got her. So this isn't her first home. I want her FULLY comfortable first
Yay, go Popples! My Quaker parrots first word was peekaboo too 🐦, so cute! 🙂
so cute! my mother rescued my quaker last september in front of our house n the sec we saw each other we got attached! took him to my place immediately, he funnily enough started saying my husband's name a few days later who he can't stand 😂 now he's so fluent in alot of phrases n now tries to level up by singing along to songs (we have our weekly karaoke sessions 🤣) he's so fun! such a sweetheart, aside from bein antisocial with anyone who isnt me, hes adorable n he loves chilling next to one of my dogs which stresses me out but thankfully my dog is chill ~ quakers r truly one of a kind!
Holy crap Victoria, your nails look wicked deadly, very halloweenish! cool!
Thank u CG. I keep them long and sharp to keep those rotten Canadians in line u know what I mean?
@@VictoriaRyann yes, the scary nails work...I am staying in line...I am dying to talk like a northern Canadian but your birb squad would die of shock
How did u get your birds to b ok with your nails???? I have always had long stilletos but my new quaker seemed so scared when I would go anywhere near her so when I got my fill I had them shorten them so much, now I feel naked lol
Are quakers to loud for apartment?
Oh yeah lol. Maybe you can find one with a quieter demeanor but they still have the potential to be fairly loud.
I lost my Russian Blue Cat of 13 years. Her name was Coaltrain Pheyonah Kitt and she was my everything. She died May 9, 2018 and I'm still grieving. My baby thought she was human. She called me Mom & I'm male. She knew how to talk and understood anything I said to her.
Sending good vibes to your friend and hope she makes it through her hard time ok.
I feel her pain. Damn i feel her pain. So sorry.
Thank you for saying that I'm sure she will appreciate it. Hope you've been doing well 💜
How adorable!! It is so crazy when you realize your bird is talking! You know he says Yoshi also right? He will start saying a lot of things. Sing to him they love songs!! I sing Baby Shark to my guys only I sing Baby Bird and both my talkers sing it and it's adorable!! So excited for you!💙💙💙 Sending much love to the fellow bird mom who lost her baby!😢❤
Wendy!! How was vacation are you glad to be home? I was sooooo excited when he started talking! Omg my daughter is obsessed with baby shark and that's what she's wanting to be for Halloween lol I'll have to wear that song out for the birds as well 😂 I completely missed Popples saying Yoshi! Haha so excited but I am such a ding dong for not noticing lol. Thanks Wendy I appreciate ya. Tell the flock I said hi and thank you for the loving message to our fellow bird mama 💜
@@VictoriaRyann vacation was so much fun! I caught some nasty bug and was sick the whole next week but that's life I guess!! I know when my parrotlet started saying 'give me a kiss' it took me awhile to realize that is what he was saying. You will probably be so surprised the words he will start to say. I think it's always best to not expect our birds to talk and then when they do it's an added bonus...Right? Love ya girl Have a great week!! Give your cuties a kiss from me!!😘
Hi I’m Jessica and I’m new to your channel and I have a Quaker parrot named Mr pickle and the video of your quaker talking was so adorable, especially when your other bird put his head underneath his bum. It was so cute and my bird says peekaboo but another word I don’t know how he came about. It is when I give him something to eat like a treat, and I say what do you say, and he will then say good and that’s him saying please, but I don’t know how we came about to say that.But I can’t shut him up he never stops talking and I was so scared that he was never gonna talk because I got a quaker parrot also because I heard how well they do with talking.
I have a Quaker that is a year old but he does not talk.... the only thing he knows how to do is laugh and tries to mimic when we cough.there was times when he barks like a little puppy when we’re not around. But I love him so much🥰
