Birds are easily trained, at least the larger parrots are. Scientists say that African greys have the cognitive abilities of a six year old human child. Ramses can speak over 200 words, much of it in context. He asks for his favorite foods (cherries, piƱon, almonds, peanuts, grapes), calls me by name. I love my birds! (Yes, I am "that" weird bird lady, sigh)
