How a Parrot Learns its Name in the Wild
Biologist Karl Berg asks the question, "How do parrots learn their names?" Are they genetically encoded or are the learned from their parents? In this video, Producer Marc Dantzker delves into Karl's work and explains how this simple question is shedding light on one of nature's most complex communication systems.

This was one of the coolest clips I've seen recently. Of course our animal friends have the gift of language. Some may not be smart enough to fight their way out of a paper bag but they do have brains.
