Fart jokes are almost always funny, no matter who is telling them. Cruz, the African grey parrot, includes farting in his repertoire of sound effects. After making the well-known “fart sound,” this humorous little guy always says, “Wow.”
According to experts, birds lack the necessary gut bacteria and digest their food too quickly to form gas. Therefore, it is their “scientific” ruling that birds cannot fart or burp. However, in a video response to a follower’s question of, “wait so… birds fart?” Cruzy’s mom shows indisputable proof that birds do indeed fart. While perhaps not common, at least one farting parrot exists (or so we think).
We are confident that the most audible farts from Cruz are sound effects. There is no denying the airflow around his tiny cloaca in the one shot of him on his back! But, alas, his mom comes clean later in this clip, saying that it is the bird’s humorous sound effects and nothing more.
Cruz has a wide array of sound effects that include police sirens, burping, farting, coughing, and sneezing. They will surprise you if you have never been around an African grey parrot. If you watched both videos above, you heard a wide range of farting noises from the happy little parrot.
Cruz does not seem like an average pet bird. Typically, when a cage is covered, the bird assumes it is nighttime and sleeps. Cruz is not even pretending to sleep under his covered cage, which is quite entertaining. A quick trip through his Instagram feed shows his day-to-day life in London. He uses the toilet and shouts, “Woooo!” This Elmo-loving parrot is not an ordinary bird. If you laughed, please share.
