Wait til we teach parrots to deny prior authorizations and insurance claims.
Seriously though, parrot (and corvid) behavior is fascinating. There’s a known relationship between primate brain size and the size of social groups. These birds are typically social creatures too. It’s kind of amazing what they manage with relatively small brains.

- ChrisMarshallNY 4y agoRemember where they came from: Dinosaurs. In fact, I have been told that calling birds "dinosaurs," is actually accurate. The lineage is pretty much a straight line. It also makes me wonder what it must have been like, back then. A lot of speculation is that dinosaurs (especially theropods) were extremely smart.
- Toutouxc 4y agoThat's right. Just like current macOS is not "Unix-like" or a descendant of Unix, but an actual Unix operating system, modern birds are actual dinosaurs. Wikipedia quote: Birds are feathered theropod dinosaurs and constitute the only known living dinosaurs.
