#35 How a Parrot Learns its Name in the Wild (Video Post)

A great and interesting video I found on YouTube.
I have knew for a long time now that these wonderful little parrotlets have a language of their own and that the parents call them by name. This video is great!!

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.
