hey, hey! easy now! i have an african grey parrot that would beg to disagree! he has a vocabulary of about a hundred words and phrases, plus every different telephone ring, bird call, doorbell, siren, alarm, etc. that he's ever heard. and he doesn't just repeat them to hear himself, he actually associates the sounds, i.e. says "goodby" when i pick up my keys to leave; says "goodnight" when i turn off the lights; says "come in" when someone knocks, etc.

supermanny! african grey parrots are cool! they are suppose to be not only the smartest birds in the world but arguably the smartest animal in the world. they are thought to have the intelligence of a 5 year old and the communication skills of a 2 year old. very cool.

this is weird. my friend has a deck of american indian totem cards and she had me pull out 3 cards, yesterday, to tell me a little somtehing about me. i really don't understand how it works but the 3 cards i pulled out was the crow, raven and the hawk! and then i read this thread and there is a lot of talk about crows. weird.

here is what the crow symbolizes in the american indian totem:

shadow self
shapeshifter
messenger
romantic
intelligent
tricky
magic
element
air
lesson

crow is the keeper of sacred law and knows the mystery. she teaches us that there are not one two or three worlds but many.
the laws of sacredness
to balance our need for partnership with other areas of our life
to be at peace with our own company as well as within a group
psychic protection
to value ourselves giving ourselves the best
the joy in exploration here is a few avatars i have used over the last 7 years or so. they are just meant to be humorous:

@ lala: i love music too. i have always liked pan for an avatar because he seems to just love to play his flute all day and enjoy his life. as well as occasionally getting into mischief. here he is:
