Budgies are totally dumb!

you misspelled "link" you dummy!

Sure that budgie is smarter, quicker, better trained, wiser, and ok, cuter than clark, but I bet clark could kick it's butt.....maybe.

:gcc:
 
Anybody a fan of Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" movie?
Of Mice and Men (1939) - IMDb
I want a parrot movie version, and I want a budgie to play George and the Rickeybrd to play Lennie.
 
That book was required reading in 7th grade..AWESOME :)

That video was amazing! What a gifted budgie! At first I was thinking he was hyperactive, until I realized it was on high speed playback. Sigh. Now he's making ME look bad. Lol!

The flag raising trick in particular impressed the heck out of me! The sheer mental gymnastics necessary for understanding the mechanics of that trick are more intensive than it might seem at first glance. Wow!

Thanks for sharing!

And the follow up posts have been hilarious!
 
Budgies are the most under appreciated birds on the planet. I have almost as much fun with my son's budgie as I do with my larger birds. And the only reason why it's "almost" is because Liam is very much my son's bird and I am definitely Not The Favorite, and only get to sneak time with him while my son is in school.
 
A lot of people and most all people outside the bird world don't know that it is in fact a budgie that holds the records for the most spoken words. Something like 1600 I believe don't quote me on that. Amazingly under valued souls.

Not quite that impressive but my son's budgie can sing the entire opening credits song for NCIS, which is really funny in the hgh pitched squeak of a budgie.

I was also thinking WOW look at him go! lol
 
Wow, what a talented budgie! Yeah, budgies are the most under appreciated of all the parrots. Most people don't even know that they are parrots! This is what usually happens to me:
Someone curious about my birds: Oh, you have birds! What kind?
Me: three parrots! *shows pictures*
Other person: Isn't that a parakeet? A cockatiel? And what's that green bird? Do they talk?
Me: No, but they do tricks!
Other person: Oh.

So THAT's what it is in the video! I thought the Budgie was just high on seed

Funny thing is looking at the flag trick it's actually simpler than you think! It's merely the same trick he did putting the rings on the stick earlier in the video just this time it has resistance!

God I remember reading Of Mice and Men in school too. Such a good book, may have to read it again after I finish my current reading collection

I might steal of few of those tricks, and this Budgie could learn a few things from Salty. I like the flag raising ( though its a variation on putting the rings on the post). I also like the skate board trick too. Smart little bird for sure.
 
That was wonderful, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing. :)
 
My birds can definetly teach this budgie a few things, and learn some things from him too, and even teach Salty! Salty isn't the only one with tricks up his sleeves!
 
Wow my budgies just purr and tweet at each other. How do you guys teach to copy a particular sound?

I tore the achilles tendon in my foot and binged 14 seasons (24 episodes a season) of NCIS at my desk which is right next to Liam's cage, which is where he stays during the day when my son is in school. That may have had something to do with it.

Cute! I love listening to my birdies chirp its so soothing. I used to call them a married couple because it sound like they were always yelling at each other. Now its more gentler tweets and purrs.
