According to an academic paper, grey parrots’ “imitative abilities have been lauded at least since Aristotle,” and seen after surveying their learning and reproduction.
When it comes to who is teaching who though, it’s
pretty clear.
“It’s certainly down to humans,” Nichols said. “And what makes it funnier is that this particular species actually replicates the person’s voice exactly.” To this point, Nichols tells a story about a lady that spoke to him about donating her parrot that “her husband had taught the bird all the bad words that it knew.
However, the kicker comes when Nichols said he knew that wasn’t exactly what had happened. “It was quite easy to hear she wasn’t telling the full truth as it swore in her voice.”

There was even a story where some parrots were getting drunk on rotten mangoes, and “flying” under the influence. Who would have thought?
After the parrots ate the rotten and now fermented fruit, they were flying into windows or being pick off by cats. The Broome Veterinary Hospital had an uptick in bird coming into the clinic.
“So far, we’ve seen about half a dozen in total, but there are a lot of them, unfortunately, that don’t make it to the clinic because they pass away before people find them,” Murphy said. “Usually, they’ve been suffering for a couple of days … They’re quite lethargic and at various stages of malnutrition.”
“We’re hearing a few reports of flying into windows and sitting on the floor, not being able to fly and being vulnerable to cats and other predators.”
