"If your parrot is feeling glum, it might be tweetable. Wild keas
spontaneously burst into playful behaviour when exposed to the parrot
equivalent of canned laughter – the first birds known to respond to
laughter-like sounds."

Birds are amazing!  Via Ward Plunet and Kee Hinckley.

Share and enjoy,
