A parrot's intelligence is equivalent to that of a three-year-old child.

Parrots, dogs, and monkeys—which is smarter? What will the parrots do to outsmart the monkeys and dogs?

Assuming parrots are capable of learning, you'll likely find them more intelligent than you might think.

A test of intelligence was given, and while the monkey was confused and bewildered, and the dog seemed frightened, the parrot achieved outstanding success.

Clearly, awareness combined with a bit of cleverness and cunning has contributed to the parrot's success.

The experiment was conducted with three species, each with one male and one female, at a rescue center. Pieces of walnuts were hidden in one of two sealed boxes placed side-by-side. Then, one of the boxes was shaken. The parrot used its beak to pry open the box containing the walnut pieces. This showed they could distinguish which box contained food. And perhaps more importantly, when the empty box was shaken, it didn't hear any sound, which directed its attention to the other box.

A research team from the University of Vienna conducted this experiment and found the results remarkable, showing that the "intelligence" of these parrots is on par with that of a three-year-old child.

Dr. Christian Schloegl shared in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B that such behaviors have only been observed in hominid species and have never been found in other animals.
