I used to work with conures. They are very affectionate and tend to bond to only one or a few people. Green cheeks are the ones I took care of the most often; they're small and quiet but love to ride on shoulders. Sun conures are my favorite. They tend to be loud and love attention.

Green cheek! That's the one I meant! Yes, that sounds perfect to me.
A little baby to hangout with all day. Super cuddly and loving. Yay!
I can't deal with super loudness. So a quiet one sounds good.

While I think most animals are smarter than humans in many aspects, it has always amazed me that you can teach many species of birds to talk or sing along to songs.

It is really cool. I know they don't understand it but it's cool they can mimic it.
Animals are amazing.

They can probably start to understand somewhat. Like if you yell at a parrot (or dog or etc) and say "don't do that" over and over when you're mad at it, after a certain amount of time it understands that these words mean it should stop what it's doing. Then it might have the ability to say those words back to you when it's mad at something you're doing. (the parrot, probably not a dog hahaha)

I've heard many stories about parrots randomly saying something they've never been taught to say (but probably just heard it often, I guess) and at the right time and in the right context. So Idk, I think they might be able to understand, like jacob said.

There was this researcher studying how many words parrots can learn. She had been going over colors of things with this one parrot and one day it asked, "What color am I?" It shocked the researcher.

That leads to the question: Are all animals an insects in some aspect color blind? Like some of them are heat seekers, but can they only "see" body heat or can they also see surroundings. I think in science class years ago, while bees are attracted to sweet smelling flowers, they see on an ultraviolet level so they tend to go towards more vibrant in color flowers.

What if we're actually really limited in the way that we see things and we just don't realise there is more out there, so we don't know how to test for it, so we don't realise how limited we are
also: what if everyone sees colour differently? Like say that your favourite colour is blue and another person's favourite colour is yellow. Maybe you both actually like the same colour because you're giving in that name. How do you describe the colour blue? Say it looks like the sky? Okay but if my 'blue' is your 'yellow' then I would just say oh yeah, the same colour as the sky, not knowing I'm seeing what you call 'yellow'

That reminds me of that whole thing about the dress being white/gold or black/blue. It was blowing everyone's mind when everyone was talking about it. Recently there was one with a shoe you either saw are pink or grey. (If I'm remembering the colors right). It really just how you see the color. My mom has this bag she says is green, but my sister and I see it as brown. We actually got into an argument about it. I still hold it's brown and not green.
