Someone should make "Omegle for Parrots" and let them hang with random parrots from around the world online whenever they feel like it.

Kind of off topic, but my pet parrot (a Mitred Conure) gets off-the-hook loud whenever I try to watch Hitchcock's The Birds. The movie has a lot of bird noises (and strangely enough an electronic music score thats not really audible as a score--it just makes the squawks denser) but I don't know if he's trying to engage or mimicking.

I’m curious now, can a parrot tell the difference between a real parrot and an AI generated one?

It reminds me a joke. At the pet store:
- I'd like to buy a talking parrot.
- Sure, but just two.
- Why only two?
- Because one speaks Spanish and the other translates.

I think this says that parrots prefer to communicate rather than just listen.

> Pet parrots given the choice to video-call each other or watch pre-recorded videos of other birds will flock to the opportunity for live chats, new research shows.
Completely opposite than humans.

"animal internet" is no where near as interesting as the idea that pet parrots can recognize the images on a tablet as another parrot that they are interacting with in real-time.
