In an experiment, the bird and his owner were put in separate rooms and filmed as the artist opened random envelopes containing picture cards.

Analysis showed the parrot had used appropriate keywords three times more often than would be likely by chance.

This was despite the researchers discounting responses like "What ya doing on the phone?" when N'kisi saw a card of a man with a telephone, and "Can I give you a hug?" with one of a couple embracing.

Sounds like a cool parrot who knows it. "You got to put this bird on the camera."

But I have to admit, the title of your thread made the "postcards with chimpanzees" song come to mind.

Now it won't leave.
