Is my parrot stupid?

[Deja Q]

I show her a walnut and an almond, and she just stares at them as if the nuts are going to attack her.

De-shelled, she knows what they are and understandably pigs out on them.

But in-the-shell? :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce:

*sigh*

1. Maybe she's not really a parrot.

Maybe it is Raul Julia in a parrot's body.

2. No, just verrrrry cautious.

After all, although she knows she's supposed to assume that walnut and almond shells contain walnuts and almonds, it is possible that you have extracted the nutty contents and replaced them with a quantity of Semtex or a small scorpion.

It's not that she's stupid. She just doesn't trust you. :hi:

3. Clearly she is extremely intelligent ...

She's just training you to open them for her ... basically, she's teaching you tricks.

4. She's probably smarter than many people.

She gets YOU to do her work for her! :D

6. Well, she isn't a CEO who makes millions of dollars...

I, on the other hand, spend millions of dollars just to keep her feathers on.

One day, I'm makin' a pillow. A big green and orange pillow...
