Here's a video of a crow solving an 8 step puzzle.
Quote:
Feral populations are often descended from very small founder populations. Being as social and intelligent as they are, monk parakeets develop some cultural traditions, namely vocal dialects that differ between groups. In populations descended from a large number of birds, a range of "dialects" will exist. If the founder population is small however, a process similar to genetic drift may occur if prominent founders vocalize in an unusual "dialect", with this particular way of vocalizing becoming established in the resulting feral colony. For example, no fewer than three different "dialects" occur among the feral monk parrots of the Milford, Connecticut, metropolitan area.[

Quote:
kinner decided to go random on his hungry pigeons. He dropped food into the box at completely random times, independent of any behavior on the part of the pigeons. But the behavior of the pigeons, he found, didn't stay random. After a few drops of the food, the pigeons began exhibiting certain consistent behavior. One circled counter-clockwise, another spun around in circles; seventy-five percent of them exhibited some kind of odd behavior.

Yeah. Those don't really support your premise. Worms cab be trained through Skinnerism

the intelligence goes something like this
humans orca's dolphins birds
everything else
birds are not only capable of words, they are capable of understanding their meaning.
dogs only understand risk/reward/discipline.

SO the monk parakeet forming dalects and cultural traditions isn't inherent of intellegence? Or the using of tools common amongst birds?
Or the solving of puzzles by a crow?
If you actually do research, you can find hundreds of studies about bird intelligence. Especially parrot intelligence. Many parrots learn to speak effectively to humans and understand human words.

They have song for mating purposes and mimicry. They do not have language.

If you've ever actually seen a parrot, they make noises much more than just mating. Crows and parrots are extremely smart. Smarter than most mammals.

I realize they can be trained to an extent. Their tiny little brains just cannot rival mammalian brains. They got reptiles beat for sure but not mammals.

Magpies can recognize themselves in a mirror. So they can recognize themselves as an entity. Very few animals can do that, and before it was thought only smart mammals could do it(humans, elehants, dolphins) but this shows that magpies can recognize themselves. And other birds have been known to pass this test aswell(pigeons can pass this test). http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/08/080818220557.htm
That means these birds are sentient.

Look up the studies on crow intelligence. Those birds have got you fleeced, zappa. They want you to think they're stupid!

i've tried explaining bird brains and mimicry to my father for he has a parrot.
it's not use, he thinks he's really talking to it.

Then we may have found a bird smarter than a mammal and it isn't because the bird is smart

Mimicry doesn't mean the bird doesn't understand... Parrots are extremely smart, and have things similar to languages. THey're learning and mimicking noises similarly as a baby does. As they mimic, they begin to understnad the meaning of certain sounds.
Although since they aren't the same species as us, they don't have the context to retain every single word and their meaning, many parrots learn enough words(and know how to use them) to effectively communicate to their keeper.
Parrots are sentient and self aware. Many parrots have problems with depression if they are isolated(and even sometimes when they aren't) and many self harm in these situations in something called "plucking".

It would be a complete disaster if I got a bird...My cats would have that thing chewed up & pooped out in less than 2 days.

Smart for a bird and smart for a mammal. If you actually look into birds, they are an incredibly smart type of animals.Quote:

the bird is spoiled. 
in that video above, with the African Grey's, my dad's would be saying shit like "sup buddy" and laughing when he launched the cat of the table...like an asshole.
those ones in the video are quiet as a mouse.
