My cockatoo is smarter than your Honor Roll student

Ok, he's not my cockatoo, just one I found on YouTube. But this is currently my favorite clip:
YouTube - Aphyntje de puzzelaar

Soooo smart. Just goes to show what a "bird brain" is capable of (and how much mental stimulation an animal this smart must need to stay healthy and happy).

(I dont' recall seeing this vid here yet. Sorry if double posting)

Wow, that's amazing. It never ceases to amaze me just how intelligent they are. If you noticed, the cockatoo could recognize the different colors and shapes and knew exactly where and how they were supposed to fit.
