Birds also love to play and try different tricks as used by Einstein who likes to play with a broken spoon. He taps the spoon on the counter due to which spoon starts producing sounds. The sound which the spoon produces is very similar to a bell. He holds the spoon in his beak and starts tapping it on the counter as a result of continuous tapping a sound similar to bell is heard.
At first, Einstein watches the scary bird playing with the spoon which actually a dummy and is named skinny.
He hits him on the head and snatches the spoon as he might have felt that skinny is not playing well so he starts playing himself. His intention was to teach skinner how to perfectly produce a bell sound with a spoon. When he found that the skinner was stealing the spoon he goes after the spoon and threw it on the floor.
Einstein is a talking Texan parrot such parrots have a life span of 50 to 60 years. A few of them such as Macaws live till 100 years but at the same time, these parrots need patience, training, and care.
These parrots are very sharp and you need to buy a lot of stuff such as toys to teach them through activities. Along with special care, these parrots are expensive to buy, they need investment and large cages.
Their health is also a concern and veteran care is required for their proper checkup.
People end up sending them to parrot rescue facilities as they fail to take care of them. At those places, these parrots are made ready to be adopted by another family. To have a parrot is like having a toddler kid as they do things as kids too. They produce sounds.
An amazing thing is that Einstein parrots remember quotes and songs as well.
But Einstein’s aim is to develop good relations between parrots and humans and to entertain people.
