This particular parrot was used to assist in teaching a new younger parrot of the same species. The adult was testy at times, supportive at others. At one point, this adult parrot became defensive of his species member, then turned to chide the younger bird!

I can attest to birds being smart ... the Blue Jays born in my trees return to pick up broken Black Walnuts from the driveway, then fly up into the tree to find a suitable fork in limbs into which to place the halves so they can peck at the meat inside. When the meat is gone, they pick up the shell and toss it down, then go for another and return to their crook to extract the meat!

My daughter just got to see that bit.... she about killed herself laughing... ( She's mildly autistic so jokes are HARD). She keeps wandering through the place talking in a BAD Brit accent and yelling "Helloooo Polly! " and then disolving into a fit of giggles.

Makes my heart sing!

If you hadn't nailed him to the bloody perch he'd be push'in up daises!
