Math Is Hard said:Thank you, Marcus. I had not seen that article. I have heard though that African Greys are amazingly bright and can string together sentences quite easily.
By the way have you ever heard of the book "Charlie's World: The Improbable Adventures of a Hong Kong Cockatoo and His American Family"? Charlie was an amazing bird who reportedly spoke several languages, including Chinese, English, Spanish and Crow! His story is quite fascinating. I have only read an article about him in the Houston Post newspaper but I am hoping to eventually read this book and learn more about his life.
An Extra Smart Parrot is a type of parrot that has been genetically modified or selectively bred to have enhanced cognitive abilities, such as problem-solving skills, communication skills, and memory.
An Extra Smart Parrot has been specifically bred or genetically modified to have higher intelligence and cognitive abilities compared to a regular parrot. This allows them to learn and perform more complex tasks and interactions with their environment and humans.
Extra Smart Parrots can be created through selective breeding, where parrots with desirable traits, such as intelligence, are chosen to mate and produce offspring with those traits. Alternatively, genetic modification techniques can be used to insert genes that enhance cognitive abilities into a parrot's DNA.
Extra Smart Parrots can make great pets, as they are highly intelligent and can learn tricks and even mimic human speech. However, they may require more mental stimulation and enrichment compared to regular parrots to keep their enhanced cognitive abilities engaged.
There are ethical concerns surrounding the creation of Extra Smart Parrots through genetic modification, as it raises questions about the welfare and well-being of the animals. It is important for scientists and breeders to consider the potential consequences and ethical implications of creating such animals before proceeding with their research or breeding programs.
