Abstract
If you are not yet familiar with these “feathered dinosaurs” and their modern counterparts, this short article along with two striking but very brief videos included in it will bring you up to date. The discussion of these curious creatures is the lead-in to the introduction that I have written for a forthcoming book called “Talking with Chaucer”. Chaucer is the name of a very cheeky African Grey Parrot who learned his English from a remarkable woman and dear friend of mine named Virginia Bush. In this introduction you will discover just how smart these birds really are; how they are even capable of metalinguistic thinking, that is, thinking about what they are thinking and saying. Enjoy!
