Some of us have many talents and skills and some of us don’t. It’s common knowledge that parrots have a unique ability to learn words and phrases and repeat those at will and when requested. A particular African Grey Parrot at the Knoxville Zoo, named Einstein, has gone above and beyond just learning a handful of phrases as she quickly and perfectly mimics the sounds of other animals.
From a hungry pig, a rooster crowing and a howling wolf, Einstein the parrot follows each request given by the caretaker and is given a treat each time, her favorite, sunflower seeds. The treat re-enforces that the parrot did a good job in mimicking the correct animal.
