Meet Einstein!

 

 

Einstein the parrot turned 30-years old just this week and in celebration, a video was posted of her very impressive vocabulary skills and impressions.

The African Gray parrot lives at Zoo Knoxville in Tennessee and works alongside her trainer, Adam Patterson.

In the video, Einstein goes back and forth with her trainer, as he asks her questions and she responds in a brilliant yet hilarious way.  He asks ‘Are you famous?’ and Einstein replies with, ‘Superstar!’  He also asks questions like ‘Can yo say hi?’, ‘Can you blow a kiss?’ and ‘Are you a pirate?’ and the way she replies is classic. 

Einstein can make at least 200 sounds, she can say words and she knows at least 70 words on cue.  She became a celebrity after she won the title of ‘Pet Star’ in 2006 on Animal Planet.

And check out this video of Einstein from 2008 showing off some more of her skills:
