My female cockatiel attacks my hand until I start tickling her neck. Fear the bird.

Hector Beerlioz posted:It probably saw it's owners yelling at their phones so it's might be imitating them Have you guys never seen a child of years 0-2 play before? Children yell into cups to hear their echo or just to make noise to amuse themselves. Cockatoos do it for the same reason.

Zzulu posted:Used to have birds as kid and can confirm that they are smart as gently caress. Smaller birds are dumb as gently caress though. The big ones are among the smartest animals in the world though afaik Alex the african grey parrot was, so far, the only animal to ever ask an intelligent question. When he was taught about colors, he asked "what color am I?" Bird got obits in the times & the economist.

This all makes perfect sense. If I've learned anything about dinosaurs from Jurassic Park, it's that the velociraptors were super smart. All those brains apparently stuck around a little bit inside these birds over the past 65 million years.

Crows independently came up with the concept of trial by jury. Its really hardcore cuz when a crow loses it is mobbed and murdered but it is justice of a sort. :crowethics: Also my parents' female cockatiel hates the poo poo out of her mate when he whistles at humans or puffs up and acts like hot poo poo. Shes very sensitive to hubris and attacks when it is displayed.

My favorite Alex story, which Pepperberg told on NPR's Fresh Air, went something like this: Alex was ill and had to be taken to the vet, and had to stay overnight. Alex was not happy about staying overnight in a strange place and as Pepperberg was leaving, Alex kept saying "Wanna go home, wanna go home." But Pepperberg obv couldn't take Alex home. Finally, as Pepperberg was near the door, Alex tried one last thing. Thinking that maybe Alex was being forced to stay as punishment for doing something wrong, Alex just said, "I'm sorry."

Maldoror posted:Alex's last words were to his owner. He said, "You be good, see you tomorrow. I love you." We have some bird drama in my neighborhood now. The White-tailed Kites that like to hunt near my freeway exit had three babies fledge at the beginning of the month, but the father disappeared right around that time. I've been stopping off with a camera on the way to and from work when I can to keep tabs on them. The mom was hunting constantly to keep them fed, and has kept two of them alive. On my last visit, one of the fledglings was caught a vole on its own, so I think they're going to be alright.  Mom giving a vole to one of her children.  A juvenile misses the vole with its talons and face-plants into it.  One juvenile returning to the perch with a vole after its sibling has already eaten.
