Almost certainly the best thing I wa ever told about owls was when I met an owl handler and he told me that the wild owls in the sanctuary where he worked worried about the tame show owls there and sometimes stopped by to leave them shrews and mice as presents.

    Parrots are definitely capable of using human words and phrases in context. Stuff like “bye bye” when someone leaves a room, or “want some water?” when they see you drinking from a glass and want to have a taste. Attaching sounds to concepts and using them to communicate those concepts seems like basic language stuff to me!

      That’s like the first beautiful tamed picture of a parrot I’ve seen. My aunt has a 27 year old parrot so he’s an old fuck and I used to have a friend who’s emotional state was so fucked up that her bird looked like she was on crack. Please more picture of your parrot please
