Parrot Smarter Than You

Wow! That's a noisy parrot! I really like parrots! They are noisy...but they
are beautiful and smart. 鸚鵡雖然很吵但很漂亮又很聰明. Some parrots might be
smarter than some people! 有些鸚鵡甚至比人還聰明.

These birds are smart.

Scientists did a test. They tested a parrot's memory.
科學家測試了鸚鵡的記憶力.

Do you have a good memory?

Well, one parrot called Griffin ... might have a better memory than you or
me!Here is a memory game you can try with your friends.
你可以跟你的朋友玩這個記憶力大考驗的遊戲.

First get four plastic cups...but you can't see inside the cups.
先拿四個杯子. 但不能用透明的.

Then, put a small ball under one cup … and remember … no one can see the
ball! 然後把一個小小的球放在其中一個杯子裡面. 記得不能給人家看到喔.

Then move the four cups around… and around to change their places...then...
stop! 把四個杯子轉來轉去，換位子，然後停下來!

Now! Guess which cup has the ball under it! 你記得那一個杯子裡面有球嗎?

Griffin the parrot wins this game almost every time! 鸚鵡Griffin幾乎每次猜中!

Birds have small brains ... but small doesn't mean stupid!
鳥類的腦雖然不大但這不代表他們很笨喔 Griffin the parrot has a great memory!
He remembers where the ball is.

The parrot plays this game better than most people!

It's cool to learn new things about animals!

Now we know that many birds, like parrots, are super smart...and they have a
good memory...maybe a better memory than most people!
有一些鳥很聰明，他們的記憶力可能比很多人還要好!
