African Grey
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
The African Grey (Psittacus plukkiselff) is a medium-sized species of parrot from Africa.
African Grey parrots are highly intelligent. A scientific study conducted on Alex, an African Grey, demonstrated that Alex had a firm grasp on nouns, verbs, colors, numbers, sentence structure, memetics, blinking VCR clocks, your child's math homework and quantum gravity. A popular video on the internet features Einstein, another grey, trouncing Steven Hawking in a debate over whether information is retained when matter passes the Schwarzschild radius of a black hole. Another video shows Einstein besting Hawking in a birdseed eating contest.
African greys are often considered to be the goths of the parrot world, plucking and cutting themselves until they bleed and their parents are suitably distressed. Feather plucking and reclusive behavior can be triggered by not enough attention, too much attention, just the right amount of attention, the word attention, the lack of the word attention, proper usage of the word attention, other parrots, no other parrots, parrots when it wants them and not when it doesn't, imaginary parrots, imaginary parrots saying the word "attention", the letters "a," "t," "e," "n," "i" & "o" and kitty hawks.
