AFRICAN GREY PARROT BEIGNET CAN COUNT

Beignet can count! We have had a number of things happen in our household where I have needed to tell Beignet numbers. I was sure that she didn't know what I meant, but I told her anyway. One day I got magnetic numbers and told her the names of them. I asked a pertinent question and she immediately answered with the correct response. I have shown her my hand with the five fingers and also shown her the magnetic numbers up to five and she always gets them right. I didn't teach this to her - she just knew about numbers. She constantly amazes me with her brilliance.

Our dear Beignet has also learned how to manipulate Mom. "I love you SO much - - - more piece of cracker?"
