кстати о птичках

О том, как попугай внятно составляет предложения.
P.S. Вот копия текста на случай если тот коммент у ESR исчезнет:

I have a little Green Cheeked Conure, which are not know for being good talkers. When he was a few months old, he had been repeating stuff he had heard before I got him that ended with “me”, like “Do you hear me?”. One day he was talking to himself, and I heard something and I said, “Did you say, ‘Me’?” He paused for a sec and then, all excited, said, “I is me! I am parrot, me! I me, me!” He just thought it was wonderful – presumably the fact that “I” and “me” mean the same thing.
Another evening around the same time, he was chattering to himself, and paused for a second, and then said, “Scared-sweet. Scared-sweet. I am scared and I am sweet.” It is a good example because he assembled the sentence word for word… although maybe he knows “I am” as a phrase rather than separate words.
Some background: He picked up “I am”, very early, presumably when I was saying, “I am Brian. You are Tommy.” The “scared” business came from a guy that said, “Oh, are you scared?” in a particularly nasty and intense way. Tommy picked up the word “scared”, quickly learned about questions, and was often going, “Are you scared? I am. I am scared. Scared. I am scared.” and like that. He also picked up how to use the word “and”.
Words are his favorite toys. He assembles sentences on the fly every day – multiple times per hour, when he is in the mood.
