Fri 5/17/2013 - The Today Show: Disco the Parakeet

[SRSeedBurners]

Disco the talking parakeet is headed to NYC for a slot on the Today Show (for the record, I can't stand that POS matt lauer). I've watched a few of Disco's youtube videos and was estatic when I saw oh his FB page that he was headed for NYC for a gig on the Show.

 

They don't know the time slot yet but I'd imagine they'll post it on his FB page.

In 1995 a budgerigar named Puck was certified by Guinness World records as having the largest vocabulary of any bird at 1728 words.

That is amazing, I couldn't believe how many things he was saying.

What an amazing little bird Disco is and what a vocabulary he possesses, loved it.

Do budgies seem to know what they are saying? I've seen some amazing budgie talkers, but it always appears to be sort of rote things. Any of you budgie parronts have any insight into cognition? I'm sure they are smart little buggers, but is there evidence they use words to communicate?
