I saw so many letters from your post, I didn't read the original, that was really interesting thanks. I saw a show On the learning channel that shows that Parrots can actually do more than "Parrot", but actually if taught, can know what they are talking about and identify things. I wish I could describe the tests they did, but it would take forever.
I'll just say that it covered all the angles from a doubters perspective and it did prove that the Parrots weren't just mimicking. Its fascinating, but disturbing considering the way many animals are treated.
