#ParrotSunday - It's All About The Neurons

We Finally Know Why Birds Are So Freakishly Smart. Why are parrots and other birds so intelligent? They have more neurons in a small space than mammals, including primates. Naturally, when it comes to brains, size matters. Our human brains are capable of more complex tasks because we have more neurons. However, density also matters, and parrots have more densely packed neurons in their relatively tiny brains.
