wow! pretty amazing it could learn and differentiate between so many different audio cues - assuming that was what it was doing. Don't ask me

African Greys have about the same intelligence as a 4 year old child. It didn't need cues. Thanks for the link Thomas.

You can see it was allways staring at her hand where she held the treat it was given towards the end. It knew it'd get it eventually after it responded to the woman.
The thing is thoug, it's stuff like that which makes people want to go out and get one. Even though they got no idea of how to take care of it. And it's protected as well, isn't it?
