Parrots, known for intelligence and emotional depth, form lasting bonds with their owners. In a touching viral video from 2017, an African Grey named Sinbad shares a tender goodbye with his owner of 25 years, who is terminally ill. Sinbad sits calmly on her arm, understanding the moment’s significance, as she whispers, “I love you.”
African Greys are renowned not only for mimicking speech but also for sensing emotions, creating profound companionship. With lifespans of 40–80 years, they respond deeply to their owners’ presence, offering love and loyalty, even feeling genuine grief when saying farewell.
