Parrot Steals Reporter's Airpod on Live TV ABC Action News reports that Nicholas Krumm, a reporter in Chile, was reporting on crime in the city of Santiago when a parrot calmly landed on his shoulder. Krumm didn’t seem to mind and perhaps even thought the scene was cute. What he didn’t know was that the bird was busy hunting for prey. And he spotted something interesting in Krumm’s ear: an Apple Airpod. He snatched it and fled. Krumm and his photographer briefly tried to chase the bird. A girl can be heard yelling and them to stop and leave the bird alone. The bird apparently was unimpressed by his kill and soon dropped the Airpod, which Krumm retrieved. -via Televisiamente #parrot

Bird Steals Crime Reporter's Earpiece on Live TVWe love it when animals interfere with live news reports, and this one really put on a show. Chilevision reporter Nicolas Krumm gave a live report about a residential break-in. A parrot chose that moment to land on Krumm's shoulder. Krumm gestured to the cameraman to focus on the parrot, which he considered a bit of luck, while he continued delivering his story. But then we found out what the bird, a monk parakeet, was really after. The parrot grabbed Krumm's earpiece right from his ear and flew off with it! The story has a happy ending, though. The cameraman found the earbud in a patch of grass after the report was finished. The parrot obviously decided it didn't taste as good as it looked. -via Fark#parrot #liveTV #news #earbud #videobomb

The Science Behind Talking ParrotsThe verb "to parrot" something means to repeat it back exactly as heard. Some birds learn to do this with amazing accuracy. Parrots not only learn to talk like humans, many of them seem to understand what they are saying. Why do parrots do this, but dogs and cats and cows do not? The answer lies in their anatomy and their natural inclinations. This TED-Ed lesson goes over the natural parts of parrots that give them the gift of human speech. The bigger question is whether they understand the speech or not. Some parrots are pretty good at using language in context, but is that a totally learned response or an understanding of how language works? And is there really a line between those two possibilities? -via Geeks Are Sexy#parrot #speech #talking #talkingbird
