A composite image of parrots calling each other on tablets. Image from Kleinberger et al., 2023.

Pet parrots were taught to do video calls, and it was a hit.

The birds not only made friends with each other, and selected who they wanted to call and when, but also picked up new skills from fellow parrots.
Good enrichment option for improving captive parrot welfare.

I'm a Philadelphian and so a Birds fan. All hope may seem lost to a Super Bowl with refs in the pockets of another team. But, I recall the last time we won the Super Bowl, Trump was in office and the Patriots had the refs in their pockets. So......just saying.
