Default Re: For the bird lover's

Sadly I'm going to have to wait a couple years or so for a macaw, I have a pair of cats. And I know birds and cats can co exist, but I have a cat that's part bengal (the cat breed) and I would never trust her with even a big macaw in the house. So I'd like to wait till she gets a little older and mellowed out. My other cat, he's a big boy and a true glutton (though we moniter him as best as we can) From my understanding African Greys are great birds, and very smart. I liked watching about Alex (an african grey), the bird that scientific community called, "that darn bird" because he proved in a lot of ways, that he was capable of cognitive thinking. "Which key is smaller?" the woman would hold up two keys, a yellow, and a red one, "Red" he'd say, and he'd be right. He could count to 6. Knew his colors, shapes, ect. They used from what they learned from teaching him to teaching people with mental disabilities. I was sad when I read he passed away last year.
