G'day bird loversThis is an interesting link on the powers of parrot mind and speech - at least 950 words in this bird's vocabulary, use of past, present and future tense, making up descriptive phrases. He's invented words like "flied" for "flew" and "pretty smell medicine" for aromatherapy oils. I'm suspicious that it's a hoax, but it is on the BBC News website.
