This prompted me to read more about Goffin's cockatoos. Fascinating birds! Apparently one has even learned to "read": https://www.academia.edu/43144584/Reading_Comprehension_Skil...

Found an article about that particular bird. She can also write a bit... and given that she's relatively young, chances are she'll still learn to do much more: https://news.northeastern.edu/2023/04/28/magazine/cockatoo-p...

Shares fascinating links to external research regarding unexpected cognitive feats in cockatoos like reading comprehension.
