Always wondered how parrots respond to video communication? This is your call. In an experiment, researchers built a Zoom program for birds to see how they responded to video communication. The findings are surprising. After using Zoom for birds for 3 months, parrots started to make calls to hang out with other parrots. The more video calls they received, the more video calls they would make. The birds were also able to learn skills, like foraging or flying, by watching other birds on video calls. Some of the birds continue to call each other. If you by any chance have a parrot at home; they are highly social creatures that often don’t get enough stimulation in captivity, so do them a favour and give them the chance to virtually hang out with their peers…
