Hey. I didn't watch the videos but my mother collects exotic birds so I have experienced their intelligence first hand. She once told me certain breeds of birds have the equivalent intelligence and memory of a five year old child.
My mother has one white cockatoo in particular named Troy that is extremely smart. He makes 'tools' in his cage the he uses to unscrew the bolts so she has to constantly come up with new ways to keep him in. He's undone screws, locks, bolts, wire, and who knows what else. His white cockatoo girlfriend named Helen (Helen of Troy... aw how sweet lol) is kept in a separate cage from him overnight and he is constantly trying to get to her. We have to keep them apart for her sake because he gets too sexually aggressive with her at times. But it's fascinating to watch all the things he does to get out.
Then a green parrot she has, named Sonica, calls me 'Ashley Daughter' although we never taught her that. But she definitely knows I'm the daughter. They're fascinating to watch and extremely intelligent creatures.
