Teaching Parrots to Surf the Internet

from the on-the-internet-no-one-knows-you're-a-parrot? dept

It sounds like a bad April Fool’s article, but apparently some researchers are trying to teach a parrot how to surf the internet. They’re concerned that the parrot is bored, and think the internet could be a good distraction. Plus, they think it might help us to learn how the parrot thinks. So far, though, the parrot seems pretty bored and might be happier with other parrots.
