Parrots have a remarkable abilty to "parrot" just about everything they hear.



Mostly they talk gibberish, picking up words based on the amount of energy that humans put into their voices. ( That's why so many parrots swear )



But N'kisi is a parrot that should be a contender for the "Randi Prize" *



Is he a paranormal parrot ?



or just a "parrot~normal" one ?



You decide.

Ps:



For those of you who don't know, the Randi prize is worth $1,000,000. dollars and to win it, all you need to do is prove ( under laboratory conditions 0 that you possess paranormal abilities.

    This is a great story. I love this parrot. Btw, his sense of humor reminds me a little of YOU!



    He uses present, past and future tenses? Maybe I can get him to teach my English classes! hahaha



    Wonder how good he is with irregular verbs, though? That's the question I have!

    In that case I am not sure he would pass .



    He is quoted as having used "flied" instead of flew.



    But you know how stone deaf some reporters are.



    Perhaps he was merely asking for a bowl of fried rice.

    Doesn't bother me Fellows, I fell off my perch a long time ago.



    Besides we all know BR is descended from a long line of chimps.
