David received a parrot for his birthday. The parrot was fully grown with a bad attitude and worse vocabulary. Every other word was an expletive. Those that weren't expletives, were to say the least, rude.

David tried hard to change the bird's attitude and was constantly saying polite words, playing soft music, anything he could think of to try and set a good example...

Nothing worked. He yelled at the bird and the bird yelled back. He shook the bird and the bird just got more angry and more rude. Finally, in a moment of desperation, David put the parrot in the freezer.

For a few moments he heard the bird squawk and kick and scream - then suddenly, there was quiet. Not a sound for half a minute.

David was frightened that he might have hurt the bird and quickly opened the freezer door. The parrot calmly stepped out onto David's extended arm and said, "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I will endeavor at once to correct my behavior. I really am truly sorry and beg your forgiveness."

David was astonished at the bird's change in attitude and was about to ask what had made such a dramatic change when the parrot continued,

"May I ask what the chicken did?".

FUNNY!
I loves me some critters, but the most awesome critter in the world, in my book, would most certainly be a parrot that swears like a sailor. As a huge fan of South Park and Beavis & Butthead, that would be the COOLEST. PET. EVER.
 
I have an African grey who is truly amazing. I got here when she was 4 weeks old and still being bottle fed.
She spoke her first words at about 8 weeks and now has a enormous vocabulary at 15 months.

She speaks clearly and has created little sentences, i teach her shapes, sounds and animals from kindergarten books.
She is becoming very clever indeed.
Every time i am the phone with Frank (Demarpaint) she starts a whole conversation by herself. Frank has heard her first words up to what she can do today, he too is amazed.

It is claimed the have the intelligence of a 5yr old child and have intelligence above and beyond primates, dolphins, etc i believe it.
