Einstein The Parrot

sfjockosays...

I've heard a lot about smart parrots, in particular the African grey. This is one link that, if it's real, is amazing. This woman ... well, you can see for yourself. But there are anecdotal stories like this all over the internet, for what that's worth. Amazing: http://www.sheldrake.org/nkisi/nkisi1_text.html

Another parrot, Alex (who is probably the most famous of these three: Einstein, N'kisi, and Alex)... who actually understands the concept of zero or none. http://www.scienceblog.com/cms/node/8395/print

(All of this, along with other realizations, have led me to conclude animals have a lot more going on inside than we realize, and our treatment of them is a moral outrage.)

The video was pulled by Google Video. Fortunately there are many, many versions of this one - especially on YouTube.

Note: At the very beginning of this clips, the host says "Einstein, everyone" - on the one I posted first and the one I posted now. However, I did find other versions that did not have him say "everyone." Strange, hunh . . .

Oh man, the trainer is so cute! She's the lead bird trainer at the Knoxville Zoo, where Einstein lives. Her name is Stephanie White, which was surprisingly hard to find- her name isn't mentioned on the animal planet website, nor the knoxville zoo website. Finally, I saw that Einstein was from the knoxville zoo, and a google search for einstein parrot knoxville found the answer.
