Wasn't that awesome? I thought that African Grey Parrot was unbelieveable...so cool! For anyone who didn't see it, this bird had a vocabulary of over 1000 words. He loved going in a car and asked, (I think it was) his owner's friend if he could go in her car. She said, "I don't have a car." He said, "Get one, order one." He absolutely is of high intelligence and using language with complicated thought processes going on. He remembered things from months before and would talk about them and he talked about his future. The owner said, "give me a kiss." The bird said, "I can't reach you." There were all kinds of examples. Too cool! Then they did an experiment where the woman went down in the basement and the bird was upstairs in his cage. They had a video on both of them. The woman opened an envelope of photos which she had never seen. As she looked at the first one of a flower, the bird said something about a flower. When she looked at a photo of someone in a car, he spoke of the car. Then at the last moment, she noticed a tiny detail which she said, at first wasn't noticeable. The person in the car had their head sticking out of the window a bit. Then after the bird spoke of the car, he, at the moment she noticed this detail, said something like, "that's cool...his head out window." Or "be careful." (I forget exactly) But these were just a few examples of what they showed to be telepathy. Then they showed other animals with what they thought were similar mood reading capabilities, but not to that extent, as far as they know at this time. But there were all kinds of amazing stories. If it airs again, I hope everyone can see it.
