Fauny-bubbles🔞@eldaking so, parrots can actually learn context along with the words.
It's how they recognise that saying "biscuit" leads to them getting a treat etc
tauli@Faunabubbles @eldaking Yep absolutely. My mom grew up in South America, and there was a wild parrot that liked to tease the yard dog by imitating the commands the parrot had learned by observing how the humans interacted with the dog.
ein kleines z@tauli @Faunabubbles @eldaking Birds are smarter than people think. Not only parrots. There are several species that learn phone ringtones and seem to be amused when they tease people and make them search for their phones.
