Finally, a bird that accomplishes more than your average politician.

Great job, Polly!

After that bird post of yours yesterday I'd say this one deserves an honorary 'lone star' or something.

You know, you look at the size of a bird's head, and you realize that the brain in there can only be that big, and now we see from this story that that's all it takes to understand and say simple words.

That BadJoe thread about What's Wrong With FR has gone on for thousands of posts, but everyone has been overlooking the obvious: all those posts from what seem like bird brains might be from real birds.

Animals have more intelligence than most folks realize.

Some years ago, I was taking a smoke break. Rain started. I saw some small chips of wood and plastic moving on the ground. Looking closer, I saw that they were being carried by fire ants. A couple of minutes more observation revealed that they were using these materials to roof over their mound.

It made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

Time to get a bird - I have NO sense of smell.

On second thought, the cats would just think I'd brought home a new snack!

Amazing what the prospect of becoming a fried chicken dinner will do to your cognitive abilities...

That's like the joke about the foul mouth parrot and the freezer.
