African Grey Parrot
The African Grey Parrot (Psittacus plukkiselff), also known as the Grey Parrot, is a medium-sized parrot found in the primary and secondary rainforest of West and Central Africa.
African Grey parrots are highly intelligent. A scientific study conducted on Alex, an African Grey, demonstrated that Alex had a firm grasp on nouns, verbs, colors, numbers, sentence structure, memetics, blinking VCR clocks, your child's math homework and quantum gravity. A popular video on the internet features Einstein, another grey, trouncing Steven Hawking in a debate over whether information is retained when matter passes the Schwarzschild radius of a black hole.
A subsequent video shows Einstein besting Hawking in a birdseed eating contest. Experts say that Einstein only won because of his ability to use silverware, whereas Hawking scooped them into his mouth.
