Neat with the Piano Balls!

African Greys (the kind of parrot in the first clip) are amazing mimics and studies point to human-level intelligence. A Dr. Irene Pepperberg studies these birds and has made some amazing findings about their cognitive ability, and their capacity to understand language, despite the fact that Avian Brains are very different from human brains.

Thing is, Parrots in general, and African Greys especially are high-maintenance pets.

Just some information
