Does your parrot know what it's saying? Yes, according to this study...please post your thoughts Do Parrots Understand What They Say? - ?Yes?, According to a New Study That Bird Blog
I remember reading an article in...I think it was Nat Geo about a parrot who would correct others when they pronounced things improperly.

That's really interesting. After learning about how smart these birds are, I'd absolutely love to have a parrot. I think it'd be so cool to interact and observe them and really be able to appreciate their intelligence.I read both those links, very interesting. The first led me to another article about birds naming their babies:

My questions would be, do all birds have names? What happens if a bird isn't given a name when it's young? And what happens to our pet birds when they go to a new home and receive a new name? So much to think about, thanks
