AMAZING WORLD
     Can                Birds
         Game?
















      Birds have smaller brains than other animals. But bird brains
      can do a lot. Chickens can learn to peck at certain colors. One

      lovebird — a type of parrot — learned how to play Minecraft!

      How? Bird brains are extra busy. They help the bird

      think and move by sending messages to different parts

      of the body. Crows can use tools like great apes. They
      use leaves to scoop insects from trees.


      African gray parrots can learn about zero in math.
      The most famous one, Alex, vocalized or called out

      100 different things!



                            Is a Parrot for You?

           Lovebirds do best with another lovebird! They also need a lot of

          special care. African grays need even more special care, and may
              not make the best pets. Learn more at KindNews.org/kids.
