Birds have traditions, too.

This study is about songbirds and their songs but I am sure that parrots have them, too. The only thing I did not like was that they say that 'smarts' are not needed for traditions as if birds were not smart - which we all know is NOT true!

As an interesting note, with song-bred canaries, at the show/contest, when they are judging their songs, any bird that sings exactly like a previous champion is automatically disqualified.

Getting drunk and driving around the city with foreign flags flying and horns blaring is a tradition here during the World Cup, so I support the notion that smarts aren’t required for traditions!

:lol: Well, in my personal opinion, anybody who gets all 'het up' about sports has very little smarts so you won't get an argument on that from me!
