Genius Animals That Will Amaze You

Everyday amazing fact filled content 👏 thank you

Ollie, the parrot is one heck of a bird. That "finger snap" with the head bob and the wrist flick is simply amazing. Mad respect! 🙌

I can vouch for the genius possessed by ravens! @ 6 years ago, a neighbor found a raven nestling that was rejected by it's parents, probably because his beak was a little deformed. She knew I love animals, and stay home all day, so I took him home and cared for him until he could fly, and let him go after about a month. His beak is fine, just a small bend to it now. He circled overhead a few times, but came right back and perched on my chicken coop, looking at me like, "That was fun, now where's my food?!". I've kept feeding him, and he (and now his mate and offspring) are here every morning, cawing for breakfast! A couple of years ago, I started noticing odd things on the steps outside my bedroom; an old digital watch, a large blue marble made of some kind of stone (really pretty!), lots of metal washers, several small tools like wrenches. I have a goat ranch, and he's watched me use similar tools and metal washers when building/repairing sheds and fences! These aren't just random objects, he knows I can use them. @ 3 months ago, I used screws and washers to attach a big plastic thermometer to my porch so I could look out the front door and know the temp. It was a cheap one from Dollar Tree. The next morning, I find this same thermometer lying next to the steps, except it was dirty and cracked. The glass thermometer was fine though, so I can still use it. I was puzzled at how he could have removed it from the porch, so I checked. The one I put there the day before was still there! He flew around until he found another one just like it at a neighbor's house, and he brought it to me! Now I have a thermometer to put outside the other door. Smartest animal I've ever encountered. I'm so lucky to have a buddy like him.

i love them all, EVEN SEAGULLS! more people need to respect animals

I will never forget seeing robin William's with koko. They truly connected at some level... when patty told koko robin had died, koko signed koko sad, koko cry...

We had an African Grey back when I was in HS named Winston. Just like Ollie, Winston used to mimic the songs my mom would play while she was cleaning the house. He'd go a step further and actually mimic words and sentences he'd heard from the TV as well!! And oh that "clicking" sound Ollie did. Winston's would echo through the house followed by an extremely high pitched chirp. We loved him so so very much!!! Unfortunately though, in 2016 my mom passed while in hospice. Every day he waited for her to come home. Eventually he stopped eating. Instead of preening his feathers he began pulling them out. We tried everything but nothing worked 😔 As a last resort my step-dad finally accepted it and took him to a parrot rescue here in AZ that had experience dealing with this type of behavior. After his quarantine period was over. He was placed in a huge cage with 8 other African Greys which have become his new family. Not a day goes by that I don't think of him! I miss him so much but I know he's happier where he's at now and that's all that matters. ❤️ You Winston Boy!!!

I can barely get on a skateboard and Rush is already doing tricks on skateboards. It just blows my mind 🤯

The seagull: Casually walking in and bringing out a packets of chips. Me: 😦

I once had a Solomon's Island Parrot, Scarlett, who could whistle the Andy Griffith theme from listening to the TV. Plus she would "speak" a few words w/o training. I once heard my Mama call me, but she had passed months before. It was Scarlett! She also sobbed for months after hearing me after Mama passed. BOTH of those were eerie!

To avoid seagull snatchings, watch them - they will hesitate moreso if you keep your eyes on them, as they do not like being watched. (:

Thank you, every time I watch one of these videos I learn something new.

I'm sure that one day Seaguls will be the most wanted robbers

Wonderful. I love animals and i'm glad that more and more humans begin to realise, that they are not as dumb as they thought for so long.

I'm always amazed after watching your videos :)

The seagull was my favorite part I can't believe someone caught that on camera 😅

OMG, if 'echolocation' is a learned ability in toothed whales, that's amazing -- it means their ancestors had to conceptualize it first + teach others to grasp its significance.

THAT ART IS BETTER THEN I CAN EVER DRAW. Also I can sing with my month open without closing

We may soon find that octopuses and other cephalopods are at least as smart as we are. They have an abstract language like humans use, using patterns on their skins, and can even carry on 2 simultaneous conversations with other members of their species, on each side of their bodies. With squid, scientists have identified at least 14 different "letters", such as polka dots, stripes, swirls and solid black and solid white color. These letters seem to have different meanings displayed on different parts of the body, as seen in how they react to different placement and coloration. It would be humbling to learn how to communicate with them and find out that they're already ahead of us in some ways.

My grandparents have an African Grey, and he knows a ton of words, songs, etc. But the best is hearing him swear. My family all have potty mouths, and my grandfather used to swear a lot, so their parrot picked up on that and mimicked it. 😂 Another thing that is funny to hear, is my grandfather taught the bird to make police siren noises when my grandfather would say, "here comes the cops".

You definitely missed the chance to call “Intelligent Elephant“ an “Intelli-phant” 🐘! 🙄😂I mean I definitely would have called it that, seems to fit soooo well lol .
