I was watching a documentary on Animal Planet about how Animals can communicate through a form of telepathy. It was amazing and I'm a believer of this. One example amazed me about a parrot and his owner.
The parrot was an African Grey, the type of parrot that's smartest and most skilled in speech, and his vocabulary was amazing. He could actually speak English, not repeat it. Parrots don't repeat, as some people think, but my own parrot's speaking skills don't hold a candle to that parrot, and he can speak pretty well. He asks for cookies, and he means it, as after he gets a cookie, he will stop asking.
His owner showed him a video with Jane Goodall with chimpanzees. When Jane Goodall came to visit the parrot, he started saying something along the lines of "It's Jane! Jane got chimps? Chimps go oooh-ooooh-aaaah-aaah!" and starting to talk in a way to Jane about chimpanzees. He didn't know the word chimpanzee before hand, so they wondered if telepathy was what happened.
People wanted to try a small experiment on this parrot, and it was video taped. The parrot and the owner went into seperate rooms 55 feet away. The owner was given an envelope full of about 73 photos that she had never seen before and she was to stare at them for 2 minutes each.
It was absolutly amazing, as she stared at the first photo, a flower, the parrot started speaking about a camera and flowers. The next photo she looked at, a couple on the beach in a bathing suit started making the parrot say "Look at my naked body!" and then when she started at a photo of a couple hugging, he started saying "It's a hug! A hug!" It was so amazing.
Out of the 73 photos she saw, he correctly said what was happening in the photos 23 times. That's amazing that he got it right at all.
And you could tell the bird had a bond with the owner. It was like "Can I have a kiss" and she kissed the bird on the beak, then she asked it for a kiss and she was looking down on it and it said "Hurry up, I can't reach you!" and then it gave her a kiss on the cheek when she went down to his level. I was dying from the cuteness. It was amazing.
There's more that he said that were great, too.
Anyways, do you believe in animal communication through telepathy or other ways? Do you believe in animals being able to sense someone in danger, like on Animal Miracles on Animal Planet? Do you have example of this?
