Animals never cease to amaze me. Parrots are particularly fascinating, because they can vocalize. They are not always simply mimicking, as this fascinating account demonstrates. This is yet another little glimpse into our once-and-future Paradise, in which man exercised godly dominion over the other creatures, and where the animals served mankind without fear.
We have an African Gray parrot, have had her for 15 years now. I think she remembers everything we have ever said. It helps now that the children are growing up and leaving - she fills in the conversation with their voices ....
ReplyDeleteDear Greg:
ReplyDeleteHow utterly cool! I had an African Gray when I was in high school and college (sadly, he died from a fungal infection of his respiratory system after we had him for about 7 years). They are wondrous creatures. Thanks for this delightful comment!
