  I have an African Grey. She’s quiet and gentle and obsessed with climbing under blankets and she’s dumb as a rock. Truly a model specimen.

  Here she is climbing the stairs one by one instead of flying.

      More like “eventually… I will probably take a little rest halfway and make some sad sounds trying to manipulate you into carrying me”.

    Glass houses. I don’t see you flying up the stairs.

    Sadly they can be very good for a very long time, but once they become obsessed with something, the horrid noises they make are utterly exhausting. I have lived with 3 that have been utter nightmares. The Timneh's are worse than the larger Greys.

  All parrots are great trolls.

  All corvids are humorless vengeful beasts.

  Both families coexist around Australia. I’m really curious of how they do it. I imagine they have some kind of unstable feud.

    Agreed on the parrots but a lot of corvids I’ve encountered were absolute trolls as well. Very intentional and calculating, they clearly had fun antagonizing other animals. Don’t get me wrong, they’re assholes. But they’re funny assholes.

    Maybe European corvids aren’t like Australian ones. I’ve heard stories about your magpies.

      Unlike yours, our magpies aren’t corvids. Our only native corvids are a couple of species of ravens and crows.

        The british colonies all share the same trait of having animals that are named after superficially similar European animals. It’s like how the American Robin and the European Robin are two completely different birds that just look sorta similar.

        Oh, I didn’t know that, what are they most closely related to then?

  How about a Norwegian Blue?

  Norwegian Blues are quiet and chilled out, so I hear.
