Here's a little Parrot Humor!
A lady takes her parrot to the Vet. The Vet takes one look and says, "I'm afraid your parrot is dead." "That's terrible," says the woman, "How can you know that. You haven't examined it or anything." The Vet heaves a long-suffering sigh, places the parrot on the examination table, opens the door and whistles. At this, a Labrador dog bounds into the room, hops up onto the table, sniffs at the parrot, looks up and shakes its head sadly. Then the Vet gives another whistle and a cat comes into the room, springs up onto the table,
sniffs the parrot and then shakes its head sadly. "Well I'm terribly sorry Mrs Jones but there can be no doubt about it. Polly is dead." "Well, it's devastating news but thank you. How much do I owe you?" That will be six hundred and forty two dollars please." "How much?" cried the woman in shock. "That's far too much money!"
"Well it's your own fault," said the Vet, "If you had believed me in the first place it would only have been twenty dollars, but you insisted on a Lab report and a Cat scan!"

Oddly enough one of the more curious parrots facts is that they don’t have vocal cords. They produce sound by pushing air out of their trachea
and control their pitch by changing the shape and depth of the trachea. Their ‘talking’ is actually more comparable to human whistling.

Parrots are one of the top ten most intelligent animals, and have been taught how to read, count, and identify shapes and colors.
