In total the birds made 147
29、calls to each other during the study, while owners took detailed notes on the birds behavior and the researchers later reviewed the video footage.Jennifer Cunha of Northeastern University said that the parrots “seemed to know” that they were communicating with other birds. “All the bird owners in th
