Well, Albert Einstein (or some science dude) said that "Everything is impossible until it is done". So, even drinking a cup of coffee was impossible one time!! Anyway! I shall teach Bicki to read. This is the greatest step of his intelligence. Here's how it'll work: He will only read numbers (eg. 1,2,3) I'm not sure if I can teach abc's. We'll try the easiest method first. I'm going to buy those little number fridge magnets of the numbers 1, 2 and 3. When I show him the number 1, I will tell him to flap his wings once. With the number 2, I will tell him to flap his wings twice and so on. Then, soon (and hopefully) he can distinguish between the numbers (ie. read them) and flap his wings according to the value of the number. So what do you guys think? Will it work? Or is his brain too cramped enough?

I think Bicki is smart enough to learn anything you want to teach him. With your patience and understanding I think you could teach me a few tricks.

Bikitrainer when you are older like me (I am old enough to be your mum) and you have had a few kids etc etc etc you will realise how special it is to be able to teach animals the way you teach Biki......I honestly think it is awesome. When I was your age, I used to spend a lot of time with my budgies and dogs and cats and guinea pigs and mice (yes I had all these as my pets). I had a lot of time when I was younger. But there are so many kids out there who don't think about anyone but themselves or going out or playing computer games etc etc.
Keep it up you are doing a wonderful job ;D
