Alex (parrot) - Wikipedia

There was actually a famous experiment with a grey parrot named Alex for thirty years on the subject. I can attest to Merlin having the emotional behavior of a two year old ๐Ÿ˜‚

Oh yeah I seem to recall something about that. What I have been curious about is I wonder if they have evolved in recent years, due to people, to become even more intelligent than the previous studies. I look forward to a day when we can find these things out in shorter time frames.

Though I saw something recently stating that the mirror test wasn't actually as accurate as they say it is. Not to say it isn't, but they are talking about redefining the whole thing and changing the testing method to include things like situation recognition and problem solving. ๐Ÿค”

Aghh African Grey was my next choice there. They really are beautiful birds and 28 years is impressive! I honestly think that people don't appreciate the Grey, white and "basic" toned birds enough. Everyone is always obsessed with the rainbow and bright colors. Nothing basic about an African grey.

Oh and I love your gray macaw. Beautiful bird! He is a macaw right? It's a bit difficult to tell in the little thumbnail, as I can't quite see all the discerning features. Still Beautiful though.

I had lunch with my son at the restaurant of the Kouvola Liquorice Factory, the factory is famous for its products.
For lunch: pulled beef, creamed potatoes, side salad and for dessert fruit in vanilla quark.
We had coffee at the Papulaari cafรฉ, I love that Japanese coffee pot.๐Ÿœ

A deli counter icon of the 1980s, this tri-color rotini salad swirls nostalgia with flavor. Tossed in zesty Italian dressing, it recalls summer picnics, paper plates, and the bright, easy joy of simpler times. #TheOutpost #Cooking #Cooksky #Foodsky #DeliSalad #Recipe

Ooh mind sharing your recipe for pita bread? I have been adapting my favorite foods to allergy free, but most of the pita ones I have found are easy, but not really up to par, if you get what I mean. I think the ratios are just off, or something ๐Ÿค”.

Me: I wanna cook something easy tonight.
Also me: I should clean out the fridge while this is simmering. Oh I have a lot of veggie leftovers that would make a good broth. And I have a hunk of stale bread to make croutons.

Made Peanut Butter and Jelly cookies (King Arthur recipe, made with their raspberry jammy bits). I donโ€™t know why modern cookie recipes make such big cookies (I do, itโ€™s Levain and probably Milk Bar), but I prefer a more snacky, manageable size, so I cut the portions in half. They are very yummy. ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ๐Ÿœ

It's funny how a rainy weather can make you feel a little down, even though it's cozy and warm inside the house. I miss the snow to brighten up the scenery!

Photo of a bowl of Pyongyang Onban. This is short grain rice in a chicken broth, topped with sliced chicken thigh, stir-fried shiitake mushrooms and fried leeks. The centre of the bowl is taken up with a mung bean pancake, which is a kind of grainy green. The pancake is topped with shredded egg and shreds of red chilli.

Oh I've done that before. It sucks, but I hope you are able to salvage it somehow. If it's not too dense, maybe use it like pound cake and layer it with pudding, or something? Just a thought.๐Ÿซ‚
