    Pet parrots learn to video call their friends to help reduce
    loneliness

    Parrots were taught how to request a video call with another bird
    on a tablet

    When allowed to do it of their own accord, they triggered 147
    deliberate calls

    The birds also demonstrated more social behaviours, like preening
    and singing

    . . .

    Great ...

    Don't let them watch "The Birds".

    So what's next, PigChat ? ChimpNet ?
