Amazing. The levels of intellegence in birds such as Parrots and Crows is so underestimated. One study compared Parrots intellect to that of a 5-7 year old.

We used to have a amazon parrot as a kid and that was one of the cooler pets I have had in my life. He would pick up on anything. My parents ended up getting sick of his talking at 3:00am and my father was deciding it would be great to have him at the store in the customer lounge. This was great the customers loved him he got lots of attention and no one heard him at night. Then everybody thought it would be cool to teach him how to swear. Needless to say he pickd up on it way to quick as usual and it wasn't pretty as he wasn't winning over service customers hearts anymore, so we ended up donateing him to the minnesota zoo.

That is very cool. We have a Senagel Parrot, they are supposed to be good talkers, but ours has not started yet.
