Both the number and breadth of avian cognition studies have expanded in the past three
decades. Parrots have a long history as subjects in avian cognition research. This paper …

The last several decades of research on avian cognition have revealed surprising parallels
between the abilities of birds—most notably corvids—and great apes. Parrots, albeit far less …

Psittacines, along with corvids, are commonly referred to as 'feathered apes' due to their
advanced cognitive abilities. Until rather recently, the research effort on parrot cognition was …

Parrots are renowned for their intelligence and ability to imitate human speech ever since
they have been kept as pets. Despite of impressive pioneering work on the cognitive abilities …

Systematic, broad phylogenetic comparisons of diverse cognitive abilities are essential to
understand cognitive evolution. Few studies have examined multiple skills comparatively …

Animals differ considerably in intelligence, defined as the speed and the success with which
they solve problems related to surviving in their environment. There are a number of …

The field of animal cognition has advanced rapidly in the last 25 years. Through careful and
creative studies of animals in captivity and in the wild, we have gained critical insights into …

Cognitive processes are important to animals because they not only influence how animals
acquire, store and recall information, but also may underpin behaviours such as deciding …

Being called a “bird brain” is generally taken as a derogatory comment on one's intellect, but
research has shown that many avian species have abilities that rival those of mammals …

Recently, there has been a surge in cognition research using non‐avian reptile systems. As
a diverse group of animals, non‐avian reptiles [turtles, the tuatara, crocodylians, and …
