When I first heard of this I thought it was quite amazing. But when you
think about it, many animals, both wild and domestic, seem to know their own
(human given) name when interacting with humans. If this is the case, in
could imply that the concept of using an individually specific vocalization
is normal and widespread across many species.

Just a thought...

Dear B-A,

Wonder if any Australian parrot species do this.
