PET PARROTS HAVE BEEN KNOWN to ask their owners for things.

The bird that asks us for help

Alex, the African grey parrot who lived with the scientist Irene Pepperberg and contributed much to our understanding of avian intelligence, would request cuddles. In the wild such interactions are extremely rare. In fact, only one wild bird actively solicits our help the greater honeyguide.
