Polly is an eloquent boy!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

N´kisi, the real speaking parrot.

Okay, we had crows inventing tools, we have squids developing excelent degrees of sense of orientation, we have pidgeons navigating by use of almost the same landmarks as pilots use in view flight.
And now an animal with brain of walnut likeish size talks and even makes sense when talking.
This makes me wonder what remains for the justification of the idea of mankinds supremacy.

(A pet as eloquent as that hopefully develops a sense of diplomacy, too..)

Quite bizarre. 950 words is more than the average spotty hooded youth can speak.

There's a pet shop nearby where I get my reptile food from, they look after birds when owners go on hols. They had an African grey in there a few months back. The owners obviously did not tell the shop about its language... it told 2 children to f*ck off after coaxing them with hello's, called an OAP a fat w*nker, & called me a b*stard. And that was only during the times I was shopping!

There is only one big disadvantage here.

When you maim this one with a bunsen burner, Claire, he will be able to sue you...

Sounds more like a Manchester Grey to me...
