I for one welcome our new squarky overlords.

Well the colors, shapes, sizes and other textures thing is obvious...of course animals can tell the difference! They just don't communicate it to us. The counting thing is something most animals are incapable of, however. So, good job mr. parrot. Now, do my taxes.

Alex, sadly, died not too long ago. Apparently his successor, Einstein, is even more amazing.

Thats the best you got? Why does someone have to say this EVERY time there is a smart animal vid?

Do healthy parrots look like their feathers are falling off like Alex's?

Easy there cowboy. just makin conversation.

Yea well, i can do that stuff pretty good too.

Smarter than some people I know.

Fricken dinosaurs trying to stage a comeback. Pssh. Whatevs.

What Alex lacks in looks he makes up for in brains. I mean yikes! What a bad lookin' bird.

Also, what a hack job at the end to make it look like he got that block thing right. Previously there was a story of a horse that could "count". It couldn't actually. It was picking up on cues from its trainer about when to stop. Wouldn't be surprised if something similar was going on here.

Returning to how bad lookin' that bird is, are his wings cut? Anyone else picturing that woman as Kathy Bates from Misery?

Makes me wonder what the Earth will be like long after were gone. Think it will be the dolphins fighting over land with the parrots?

Why do I get the feeling that this parrot's dying inside?

What impressed me was @ :16 she starts to ask one question, changes her mind to another question, and he still answers both!

Because it's funny D-bag.

I hope scientists try to breed Alex and Einstein, potentially evolving the species. I'd like to see the great great grandson talk about philosophy or something.
