Well, Have you ever read about or seen videos about Alex the African Grey?The species are so different that it seems pretty difficult to compare them . I’ve never owned a Cockatoo but I’ve had lots of dogs and cats and several birds. Intelligence (which of course is always measured against yet another species: humans) varies greatly from individual to individual and from breed to breed. My current dog is an Australian Shepherd and she is crazy smart. I don’t know if she can recognize herself in the mirror like birds seem able to do, but she has demonstrated an understanding of sequence of events, passage of time, and she has a huge vocabulary. Is she smarter than a Cockatoo? I think that really depends on the task they are being asked to perform. On some tasks, the bird would do better and on some the dog would. What do you think?
Yes! He was amazing! I was recently reading an article on animal intelligence and they focused almost exclusively on chimps and apes. I was thinking, “ hey, what about Irene Pepperberg and Alex?!”Well, Have you ever read about or seen videos about Alex the African Grey?
