Parrots can be amazing pets, but they can also talk back like a teenager. A healthy bird needs daily interaction, enrichment activities, and toys. But not just any toy will do. When this bird owner tried a chicken toy with his sassy parrot, the bird handled the new toy a bit briskly.

We’re unsure if the bouncy little interloper annoyed the parrot or if she yeeted it to eliminate the competition. The speed with which she nabbed and tossed the little toy was impressive. She was not in the mood to play at all. A longer clip shows the same parrot brutally assaulting a little white toy bird after yeeting the yellow one. It might be annoyed at the constant clicking.
Not all parrots are so violent in welcoming new “friends.” This sassy parrot slides up like Tom Cruise in “Risky Business” when he sees the toy. It’s not always easy to make new friends, though.
This guy is either really good at entertaining himself or a few crayons short of a full box.
Parrots can offer years of enjoyment for their caretakers. With more than 402 species, there are a wide variety of parrots. They can learn several words, using them in context with practice. They can imitate sounds and bark like a dog, beep like a microwave, or yell, “Virginia! Get up and make the coffee!”
As with any animal, adopting a bird is a commitment. Smaller parrot species can live five to 15 years. Larger parrots can live 20 to 80 years and longer. They learn by hearing sounds repeatedly. If you want to teach a parrot to speak, plan to spend some time working with them.
Please share these adorable, sassy parrots.
