If anyone ever calls any of us parrot people a "birdbrain," we'd probably consider it a compliment, knowing as we do how intelligent out parrots are. I think most of our parrots understand a lot of the words we say; even if they don't repeat those words, they know what we're talking about. A favorite treat of my two parrots is popcorn, and if I say that word, they're both ready and waiting to get some. If I say the word "chicken," Ralph will start doing his imitation chicken cluck. 
Scooter the CAG likes to imitate things that go beep and boop, and she sounds exactly like them. I keep my cordless phone and the remote control for the air conditioner on the same table. Each of them has a distinctive beep, quite unlike the other. They don't look alike either; the phone is black, the remote control is white. Scooter knows which beep to imitate, depending on which of them I pick up. Birdbrains indeed!
