鹦鹉飞出去后，教野生的鹦鹉说人话……养这种能活100岁的聪明鸟，要坐多少年牢？
摘要：
“你好，亲爱的！”“发生什么事了？”独自走在悉尼空荡荡的公园中，突然听到这些对话，不知情的路人可能以为自己见了鬼了。而且... 它们在树洞里筑巢，图源：Dr John Martin它们通常还会有一些非常亲密的伙伴，能一起玩耍，有点像一个小团体。有时候，多个鸟群会聚集在特定区域一起觅食。这些鹦鹉拥有一套机智的天然警报系统，觅食时，群体中至少会有一只鹦鹉在附近的树上密切观察。如果察觉危险，它就会发出一声震耳欲聋的尖叫，提醒正在觅食的鸟儿立刻起飞。小团体出动。在圈养环境中也需要大量的陪伴和互动，图源：wikipedia而它们为什么聪明，最早可追溯到它们的祖先——恐龙。当小行星撞击地球后，地球环境快速变化，科学家推测这可能导致一些鸟类的祖先恐龙迅速进化出更大的大脑，从而在灾难后能更好地克服困难生存下来。“混蛋鸟”的坏名声又是咋来的？在澳洲某些地区，葵花凤头鹦鹉被视为有害动物，因为它们会啃坏很多东西，例如曾咬断价值8万美元的宽带网络电缆。看看商场外墙上的这些鹦鹉在干嘛……图源：Bidgee事实上，这是因为它们坚硬的喙会不断生长，咀嚼木头或树枝和树叶有助于保持一个健康的喙。此外，咀嚼和撕扯物品也是鹦鹉觅食、玩耍和探究物体的一种方式。而它们在人们头顶飞过时发出的响亮、刺耳的尖叫声，虽然扰民，但有利于它们在茂密的森林中交流，在危险来临时发出警报。如果违法饲养了，它也许会喊破喉咙举报你。
