How smart is your pet?

I showed my youngest parakeet, BooBoo, a photo of a green parakeet on my cell phone and asked him what it was....without hesitation he said "KIWI"...Kiwi is his mother, a green parakeet.

That is so precious. I didn't know they were so smart.

@SweetMae they surprise me with how they take a phrase and change it to "We" when I've been saying it with an "I"...how do they know how to do that? I've had another parakeet that did the same thing...One used to say "We heard it" and "We didn't do it" and after his mate died he started saying "I heard it", etc.

@cherokeepatti That is amazing. We really know so little about animals. They must love you.

@SweetMae I hope they forgive me for leaving for vacation....
