Caged birds speak volumes when they are alone
A yellow-naped parrot has a precise tone
Copied from each captor
A precocious adaptor
He’s intelligent, even witty
He mocks, jokes, calls here, kitty, kitty
He will learn games, beg to play
Our experiences made fun days.

I’ve watched videos of birds with their humans and they are endlessly fascinating and engaging. Not sure if you heard about the bird that was a witness in a murder trial? He’s memorized the conversation between the killer and the victim and kept repeating it. I think birds are a lot smarter than we give them credit for.
