A typical parrot repeats after you said something. A parrot that could predict your words before you said them, and could impersonate you in a phone call, would be quite scary (calling Hollywood, sounds like an interesting move idea). A parrot that could listen to you talking for hours, and then provide you a short summary, would probably also be called intelligent.
- tibbydudeza 3y agoOur parrot does not simply repeat - he associates sounds and intent with what we doing. At night when he is awake (he sleeps in our room in a covered cage) he knows not to vocalize anything more "Dear" when my wife gets up - he says nothing when I do this as he is not bonded to me. When I sit at my computer and put on my headset he switches to using English words and starts having his own Teams meetings. When the garage door opens or we walk out he the back door he starts saying Goodbye - Seeya later and then does the sound of the creaky outside gate.
