  10. Sha says:

    If you don’t pet me, I’ll do it myself!

  11. Jonathan says:

    I for one welcome our new parrot overlords !

  12. jackisgreen says:

    Does this count as using tools? If so, birdy is very smart!! I like how he gets mad at the feather when he scratches too hard.. lol

    • TheCannyScot says:

      Jack looks like a nice Eclectus. You can’t scratch behind an Eclectus’ ear for them, they don’t like it. It has something to do with the different feathers they have on their heads.

  13. Cyberkedi says:

    Parrots are very intelligent birds! In fact, “bird brain” should be regarded as a compliment rather than an insult.

  14. Betty says:

    Awesome, he even rootles it around in his ear!!! mmmm, birdie ear wax ;P

  15. Squall85 says:

    OMG, parrots use tool, we’re doomed!

    • Grarrrg says:

      AHH!!! First they talk, now they use tools, what’s next! WHAT’S NEXT!
      THE PARROTOCOLYPSE IS UPON US!!

  16. evn12383 says:

    I’d be more impressed if he dipped the feather in an ink-well and began scribbling about existentialism.

  17. Kelson says:

    Its a Galvao Bird.
    Cala a boca Galvao

  18. FrozenMonkey says:

    My Conure does this as well. Its great fun to watch the things they use to get that scratching in.

  19. CatReader says:

    Fun to watch and educational, too.
    Shadow-Kitty sez: Ai doan needz 2 uze feddur cawz ai haz mai hoomunz 2 doo teh skritchin; AND ai haz udder use 4 teh feddurs!

  20. bobo says:

    this is particularly impressive because literally every parrot in the world does this with one tool or another.

  21. it'stimetoshutupnow says:

    i believe that that type of parrot is endangered. oh, and bobo, you can just shove it up your you know what, as soon as you get your head out of it, of course.

  22. macdoodle says:

    hey anthropologists and psychologists-
    more proof humans are superior because we use tools!

  23. sneekymee says:

    My Lilac Crowned Amazon does this too. I’ve only seen him use a feather once or twice. His scratcher-of-choice is the crescent shaped food pellets. He will hold it in his foot and scratch his head. He goes into a trance. It’s hilarious.

  24. ram2006 says:

    my parrot does this too but very rarely

  25. mairi says:

    who needs opposable thumbs anyway?

  26. Wiener says:

    Scratching his head is what this bird’s mate should be doing, but sadly it looks like this is another parrot kept alone.

    • Javin says:

      Oh get over yourself, ass. This is obviously a very well cared for parrot. If you really DID own parrots, you would know that parrots kept in one-bird households can be VERY happy when well cared for (as this one obviously is) and that they bond more strongly with their human when alone, making them better pets, and more likely to be lovingly spoiled by their human. You’re just a jerk.

  27. Beanie says:

    My life will be complete if I hear him say “Polly’s got a b**** of an itch! RWAAAAK”

  28. zxmadkiller says:
