Parrots are thought to be very good imitators of humans. Certain ones do, in essence, look like feathered tape recorders. Some species of parrots, however, are quite bright.
They’re doing a lot more than just repeating what they hear to their parents. Take a look at the parrot in the video (at the bottom of this article)!
This is an African Gray parrot named Einstein. It put on a show at the Knoxville Zoo. His requests have included impersonating cars and singing “Happy Birthday.”
What a beautiful sight to behold! Everyone’s attention was riveted on his every remark. It was well worth the price of admission to see him perform.
Einstein’s brilliance just floored me. There must be some significance to the name EINSTEIN.
His vocabulary is impressive, and so are his impressions. In a wide variety of fields, he shines.
On the other hand, African gray parrots are highly intelligent. It would be interesting to watch him speak live on camera.
His personality is equally impressive. His reactions to expressions of happiness and boredom alike were superb.
The fact that he is participating in the Knoxville Zoo’s community engagement program is awesome.
Is he really that insightful? She’s even given a TED talk! Yes, you heard that right!
