Parrots are known for their intelligence and social nature, but a recent study has found that they may be even more socially advanced than we thought. A team of scientists experimented to see if pet parrots could learn how to video chat with each other using FaceTime or similar technology. To the surprise of the researchers, the birds were able to pick up on this new skill quickly and easily.
The results showed that not only did these parrots understand how FaceTime works, but they also enjoyed it! The birds would eagerly greet their feathered friends when they appeared onscreen and often interacted with them in ways similar to real-life interactions, such as preening on one another’s feathers or playing games together. This suggests that parrot companionship is just as important virtually as it is in person – something that can be especially helpful for pet owners who have multiple birds living separately from each other due to space constraints or health issues.
Overall, this experiment highlights yet another way in which our avian friends demonstrate complex behavior patterns previously believed exclusive to only humans; proving once again why these animals make such wonderful pets!
