      @@couldbegood actually, we have learned bits and pieces from dolphins, prairie dogs, and whales. Maybe others. But we’ve done that only with the advantage of IT. still, We don’t give enough credit to animals. Also, animals can live their entire lives in the wild without any help at all. 99.99% of people could not do that. Even prepers stockpile food, guns, shelter, ammo, etc. water filters, etc.

    Cockatoos are extremely intelligent (and silly!). My Citron-Crested Cockatoo Tazzie loves to play catch with his Yorkie sister Zoe. They both insist on sitting on my lap when I am on the computer so they can see what is happening on the screen. Any time Tazzie sees a bird he is riveted to the screen...and has to look BEHIND it! Both of them love to watch the Minion films. We have some terrific photos! Sadly, we lost our Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo Bill two years ago to old age. He was with my hubby for 43 years! We think he was close to 70 years old. Tazzie is always searching for him and speaking what he learned from Bill, which is gut-wrenching and I have to grab the tissue box. They live a long time, but it is NEVER long enough! Ellie should have many decades to learn every day. She is AWESOME and so is her Mom! ❤

These birds, family of parrots, are very intelligent and by dedicating time to them they are able to learn many things.

    Awesome. I too have a really smart parrot (a rainbow lorikeet). She (we think she might actually be a he) has a vocabulary over 200 words and conjugates her own sentences - using words in very novel ways when she doesn't have a word for the situation, and asking about food in at least 30 different ways.
    Some of the more astounding questions and statements I have heard her ask have been:
    "What's a birthday? Can I have a birthday?"
    "What's Christmas?"
    "I am going to eat some of your big food now."
    "Can we get some pizza? I want pizza." (Yes she knows what that is, not that we feed it to her).
    "Are you hungry? Do you need to eat?" (She mother birds everyone and makes sure everyone is well fed).
    She also knows how to use several pronouns appropriately including: I, my, me, we, we're, you, your, you're, and our. For example, she might say "We're hungry. Can I get some breakfood now?"
    One of the first things she said showed her intelligence. We were in the process of crate training our dogs (for when we weren't in the house), and were saying "time to go outside" each time we would open their crate. Opal saw us say "outside" each time we opened the door, and so started saying "Step up. Want outside" when she wanted the cage door open herself.
    Other phrases she has novel definitions for (she comes up with her own definition based on her understanding of context) are "Night night" which - to her doesn't appear to mean "goodnight" but rather "I want to be left alone now" or "go away" (could mean either). I can see that context, given that "night night" would usually be the last thing we would say to her in the evening before leaving her alone -and so she associated the phrase with the state of "being alone". Meanwhile, she ALSO says "good night" but only seems to use it when going to bed (and also uses it alongside phrases like "have a good sleep"). So yeah, "night night" and "good night" appear to have different definitions.
    Likewise the word "big" seems to be a synonym for "human" as she seems to associate everything that is "big" with us. She calls us "big bird", and asks about "big food" for example.
    Recently, she showed that she either truly understands what the word "baby" means, or at least - defines it as a synonym for "small", as one of our cats had kittens, and we introduced her to one of the 3-day old kittens. She took to it fondly and said: "Hi baby cat. Pretty baby bird cat." (I've never heard her ever call any other cat "baby" before, but she does refer to our lovebird as a baby, so perhaps it means "small").

      @@BeingForeverBroken I’ve got a couple videos of her (she tends to be curious of the camera and stops talking if she notices me). But as yet, I haven’t been able to catch her most intelligent conversation. At some point I plan to setup a 8-hour camera on her, and note the time whenever I hear something amazing; but I’m on a fixed income so that’s a cost investment I haven’t been able to make yet.
      The few videos I have made are a couple years old, but can be found by searching “Opal and friends” lorikeet

    I've been impressed with several communicating animals. I watch a lot of Billispeaks which uses buttons to "speak". Being able to use a tablet though and read is even more impressive. I don't think I've ever seen an animal that can read, with the possible exception of some chimps (they typically used a board of buttons, often with pictures with the text). This is very cool, thanks for sharing!

    OMG! I love parrots & parakeets so much! Before my current chihuahua babies, I had a family of budgies & a hamster who were all so loving & immensely playful. I miss them so much! The only thing hard about caring for such tiny babies are their lifespan being sooo short. But even though, they gave me some of the best time of my life & made me feel so loved unconditionally! RIP my beautiful babies...❤❤❤

    They are very bright, and clearly you have the time and love to spend with this cutie. Unless you can spend a copious amount of time with them you should not consider them as a pet. Cockatoos are at the top of the list for homeless birds, and they have been known to literally die when given up.

    Holding the book or tablet in hand together with her close presence can provide subtle hints to the parrot. He might not really learn the task, but instead learns those social cues. But that's amazing nonetheless!

    To put this "probably smarter than your dog" in perspective, military working dogs (which will obviously be selected from the smarter breeds) have been estimated to have IQs of 70 or so using species-adjusted tests. This is smarter than many folk who work and vote etc. The parrot family, covids and some cephalapods (octopi etc) are at least as intelligent as working dogs (but like humans possibly lose out when it comes to work ethic 😀).
