If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands.

I've read similar articles about this, that parrots have names in the wild. Parrots truly are such intelligent, complex beings!

I believe it. My flock knows each others names. Rambo and Myrtle also know the names of every one else in the house including the dogs and cats.
