Parrots 'as intelligent' as young children

An American scientist says the results of a 29-year study suggest parrots could be as intelligent as five-year-old humans.

5 year old humans aren't really that smart, though.

Still pretty high up there.

The African Grey Parrot, which this article is talking about, has been known to have the cognitive skills of a 5 year old human for some time.

African Greys are thought to have the intelligence of a 6-7 year old, Jardin's are thought to be around 2-3 years old.

In the long ago war among animals, parrots were the airborne minions of our sworn foe, the whale. As a result, we recruited cats and dogs to defeat them.
