bird song and learning

I saw Lexi's blog post about listening to birds, and it reminded me of this article.
I read about this parrot last week when Libby sent me an article about the parrot passing away, and it made me so sad. Apparently I wasn't the only one affected. There has been lots of coverage. We are fascinated ny things that seem to "speak our language!" I am fascinated by the misconceptions about nerve cells that have been corrected because of our study of birds. Turns out: a brain that is elastic like a bird's is a fabulous brain to have.
