@tauli @Faunabubbles @eldaking Birds are smarter than people think. Not only parrots. There are several species that learn phone ringtones and seem to be amused when they tease people and make them search for their phones. |
@Faunabubbles @eldaking Yep absolutely. My mom grew up in South America, and there was a wild parrot that liked to tease the yard dog by imitating the commands the parrot had learned by observing how the humans interacted with the dog.
