This was sent to us by one of our pedagogical experts, a teacher in the Santa Fe elementary school system....
My parrot and I (Cognition and the Common Bird)
She also sent us these articles about talking birds!!
"As far as talking birds go, there are a few key species that are noted for exceptional speaking abilities. Include the following types of birds in your research if you want the best chance at getting a little feathered chatterbox:
African Greys: These are perhaps the most celebrated of talking parrots, known for their extensive vocabularies and cognitive skills.
Quaker Parrots: These lively medium sized parrots can be impressive little talkers, and tend to learn environmental sounds as well as words and short phrases.
Indian Ringneck Parakeets: Ringnecks are a wonderful choice for people who want a talking bird. Their beautiful colors and medium size make them attractive pets, aside from their crystal clear speaking abilities.
