We had a thread about a talking African Gray video a while ago. Yes, the bird is amazingly trained.

Well, I said it can only express about three things. But it's been proven that these parrots can learn language, not just mimicry but actual understanding, in a laboratory setting. The most educated one on record was able to have simple conversations with the scientist handling it. I read the bird's last conversation before it died and I'd swear it was a small child if I didn't already know it was a bird.
