In a new study released Wednesday, Kleinberger; Megan McMahon, an undergraduate studying behavioral neuroscience; and collaborators Ilyena Hirskyj-Douglas at the University of Glasgow and Jennifer Cunha in Florida used a bare-bones, Balloon Pop-style tablet game to collect data on a group of 20 pet birds’ tactile interactions with their touchscreens.
Last year, the team showed a group of parrots how to video call one another, finding that the birds both overwhelmingly enjoyed the activity and could make the calls themselves, when given the option.

I wonder if parrots get ipad brain like kids when you try to limit screen time

I love the idea of getting video calls from your pets. Imagine being in a meeting and you’re like “Hang on guys, I gotta take this” and you get in an argument over the birdseed quality or something.
