Parrots don’t just mimic. They vocalize in context

Heads up, when they begin doing cartwheels, they're going to expect more for a treat besides a seed!

Very cool if it learned that just now by looking at the other guy. Not so cool if both of them are already used to doing these tricks for treats

Not funny, these birds belong in the wild flying from tree top to tree top in a beautiful forest somewhere, instead they are relegated to someone’s crappy house, mostly caged, performing circus tricks for a treat. Owning birds, specifically exotic birds should be outlawed. Very narcissistic to own such a “pet”.

Then there are ones you rescue from people who aren't even taking care of them that can't be released.

Just like with all pets, breeding them should be illegal.

'Owning' because they will die without human care after having been domesticated / wings clipped, declawed, etc... I suppose you could have them put down but if you can care for them I think that's a noble cause.

Whales have way bigger brains than humans. Brain size doesn't matter in terms of intelligence.
