Anyone who has a pet bird can attest that birds areintelligent creatures. These tiny but powerful animals are incredibly adept atplaying games, learning new skills, and socializing. Unlike some other pets,birds are excellent for individuals looking for a companion. You can spend timewith them to play, teach them tricks, and even call them to approach you. Thatmay surprise you coming from a tiny creature, but it is accurate.   

For a good reason, the brain of a human being isrelatively more prominent than the rest of the bodily organs. Humans are thelone creatures who can do abstract reasoning, communicate in differentlanguages, and do a plethora of other human-specific tasks. A bird's brain islikewise large relative to the rest of its body. The percentage of a bird'sbrain matter is similar to that of monkeys, apes, and humans. Because of theenlarged brain structure, we would anticipate birds to exhibit cognition thatis at par with humans, which they do.
