Quaker parrots develop dialects in how they communicate and also cultural traditions. They have colonies all over the world, and they all are different cultures. You know how awesome that is? It proves they have a similar cultural aspect like humans and other socially complex animals.

I doubt that raptors and owls get quakers that often. They build pretty big nests, and have parrots guarding the entrance. Plus they bite hella hard, and are pretty aggressive. It does happen though, and that sucks Just hopefully not too often.

Yeah, crows have different dialects as well. It's pretty crazy how smart they are.

I don't think dialects are usually planned out rationally.
It just happens with a certain amount of separation.
Whether it's genetic or not I dont know.
By "cultural traditions" do you just mean weird shit they do in one geographical region vs. weird shit they do in another?

I don't consider it a sign of intelligence there, either 
A lot of it stems from superstition which would lead me to believe the opposite.

Do you know if you bob your head up and down in front of a bird it'll do the same thing?
I know this because I used to do it to friends' pet birds all the time...

I don't see your point there. Humans don't plan out dialects either, they just form over time. I'm assuming it's not genetically embedded though just like our dialects aren't.
ps- There are a few species of bird that are a lot more intelligent than we knew of in the past is all. I don't think anyone is trying to say they're as smart as humans, haha

Back in high school there was this chicken coop I had to walk past to get to the bus stop and this rooster would always climb out of the coop and chase me down the road
One day he got a little ballsier and started slashing at my legs with his talons so I kicked that motherfucker so hard he went over the fence and landed back in the coop
That rooster never fucked with me again
