Budgie Communication
This is fascinating!

The main focus of the study is about a budgie named
Victor who had a vocabulary of more than 800 words and thousands of phrases. It shows how he pronounced these words and understood their meanings as well. You can hear him talking about feelings and emotions that we thought were only restricted to humans. Recently other budgies have started to talk in similar context as well. You can hear some of their recordings here too. We believe these recordings are some of the most important examples of animal intelligence ever provided.

In the final month-or-so of his life, this bird actually
started talking about God.
I saw this on TechTV the other night, and even the
typically skeptical host was amazed. The two birds
in studio responded to a videotape playback as though
they were repeating the same "conversation" between themselves.
Could it be a hoax? Easily! But just in case this guy
is onto something -- check it out!
