Scientists believe the birds taught to make video calls on Facebook Messenger may prefer live chats with their parrot friends rather than listen to recorded messages.
New research by the University of Glasgow suggests pet parrots taught to make video calls on Facebook Messenger may prefer live chats with their friends rather than listen to recorded messages.
Lead author Dr Ilyena Hirskyj-Douglas, from the University of Glasgow’s School of Computing Science, said: “Working closely with caregivers to design the study has given us new insight into how these intelligent birds react to the complex stimulus digital tablets can provide. For the study, which also involved a team from Northeastern University in the US, the researchers wanted to explore the online social lives of nine pet parrots.It builds on previous research by this team which showed parrots who called their friends on video were less lonely.
Over a course of six months, the birds were then given access to 12 video sessions, six of which were live calls with their Facebook friends while the remaining involved watching pre-recorded videos of their bird contacts.
