parrots have the same lifespan as people, and they act like hyperactive 2 year olds their whole lives

Klyith posted: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. Alex's last words were to his owner. He said, "You be good, see you tomorrow. I love you."

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."

Not only do they know to drop nuts on the road for cars to run over and open, they know to do it at traffic lights so that they can eat the nuts when the cars are stopped.
