New Study on Cognition in Parrots

Essentially the brain may be smaller, but it has twice as many neural connections as ours does, and those connections are closer together... i.e. they think faster than we do.

We Finally Know Why Birds Are So Freakishly Smart

And because the neural connections are closer together, they remember better than we do. Remember, some birds NAVIGATE by memory...

Thank you, Birdman!
Just fascinating...

Amazing article! Thank you, Mark!

And, clearly Amazons are even smarter, because they took that week off.

Thanks Mark! Great information.

Thanks for the great article, Mark. Definitely believe in the "theory of mind" that helps them understand what others are doing/thinking.

Very interesting, but personally I don't buy that they think faster than humans.

They were unable to count the number of neurons (there were so many of them ) in the Amazons brain so rather than put their computors into overload they gave Amazons the week off hee hee

But we all knew that already

Clearly, you have never been bitten, right!

Its the flight demand that likely pushed the development. Lightweight, rapid reaction is a clear demand / requirement for flight!

It's an interesting article however the idea of evolution has more holes than Swiss cheese so the conclusions are rather foolish. Scientifically it doesn't rate as a theory as there is no evidence of any living organism GAINING genetic information though we are surrounded by evidence of a loss of genetic information leading to creation of species from a common ancestor e.g. dogs bred from a common ancestor to give us the umteen breeds knowm today.

Great article Mark. For the doubters, don't underestimate your birds. My Venus, is very technical, picks locks which I'm still working to figure out. And if you haven't been bitten, just wait. Again, Venus sliced my finger open 2 days ago after she opened her cage door and ran for the couch.

There is credible info in this article, don't disregard it. And clearly the amazons were off that week, lol!!
