Latest website: Unable to resist little Morgan's obsession, within a few days, Stark got back a large and energetic parrot and took it to find Shi Xiaolei again.

"Didn't you say you wanted to get a kitten or puppy? Why did you change it to a parrot?"

He took out a few nuts and held them in his palm, watching with relish as the parrot used its curved beak to peck open the hard shell and eat the nuts inside. Shi Xiaolei raised his hand to touch the gray-white feathers on the parrot and asked Stark casually with curiosity on his face.

"You know, the purpose of raising a pet is to find a companion, so how long the pet lives and how many years it can stay with its owner is also a very important reference factor." Sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, While Stark threw a grape into his mouth, the old god replied: "Little Morgan is a kind-hearted and good child. If the pet she keeps beside her dies of old age, she will definitely cry very sadly. Alas~, It’s a bit unbearable to think about it, so in order to fundamentally solve the problem, I got her a parrot like this.”

"Hearing what you said made me think of it. Birds like parrots seem to live for many years."

"It also depends on the species. Small parrots can live for about ten years, and the medium-sized species can live a little longer. The average life span is about twenty to fifty years. Like this A cockatoo should be able to live for sixty or seventy years, or even eighty years is possible." Stark took another grape and stuffed it into his mouth, and continued: "I just picked this one. It took me a long time to select him, not only because he is beautiful, but also because he is young enough.”

"So how old is it now?"

"Just over three years old. For a species like this, it usually doesn't lay its first clutch of eggs until it's four or five years old, which means... you know."

"Not an adult yet? No..." Seeing that the parrot had eaten all the nuts, Shi Xiaolei took out a few more pine nuts and continued: "You have grown so big before you are an adult. If it takes another one or two years, , tsk tsk~.”

"It shouldn't grow much anymore. I asked the guy who sold me the parrot and he said that the average size of the cockatoo is about this size." Maybe the grapes were too sweet, Stark stood up and said to himself He walked to the wine cabinet in the corner of the living room and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if he grows bigger. Anyway, little Morgan will definitely grow faster than him."

"That's true. Then, pour me a drink too." Shi Xiaolei greeted Stark and smiled: "Does the little girl know that you got her a parrot? She probably hasn't seen it yet."

"No, I wanted to give her a surprise, so I came to you first." While pouring the wine, Stark responded: "Would you like ice cubes?"

"need."

There was a tinkling sound and the ice cube slid into the glass. Stark unscrewed the bottle cap very skillfully and slowly poured the amber liquid into the cup.

"Here." He came back with two glasses of wine. While handing out the glass in his left hand, Stark urged Shi Xiaolei: "What are you waiting for? Take out the meatballs you showed last time. I heard that the other day After you introduced it, I was really curious and wanted to see how it works."

"Now?" Raising his eyebrows, Shi Xiaolei smiled speechlessly: "Man, did you miss a key point? Or were you listening to me when I introduced you to the details that day?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Have you forgotten, I made my words very clear that day." Looking at Stark who looked confused, Shi Xiaolei could only say clearly: "After eating the meatballs, the person who feeds them will be recognized as the owner. If If you take it out and feed it directly, it will only treat me as its owner, not little Morgan."

"Uh..." There was an embarrassed look on his face, and Stark unconsciously raised his hand and scratched the back of his head: "That seems to be the case, okay, I made a mistake."

"You, what can I say about you?" Shi Xiaolei shook his head and was speechless.

"I just..." He opened his mouth, but after thinking about it, he felt it was unnecessary. Stark simply shook his head again: "Forget it, let's not say it."

"Huh? If you have anything to say, just say it. Why do you keep half of it?"

"Well, actually it's because I still have a little selfishness." He pinched a small gap with his fingers and explained with a smile: "Didn't you say before that as long as you eat one? Can Wanzi be trained directly?"

"Hmm, so what?"

"Kittens and puppies, no matter how much they are trained, they can only do that. I mean... no matter how smart they are, they can only learn some movements and cannot communicate with humans through language." Looking at Shi Xiaolei, Si A flash of light flashed in Tucker's eyes: "If it were a parrot, it would be different. Not only does this bird have a high IQ, but it can also imitate human speech. You can imagine what it would be like after eating the meatballs. , it quickly learned to speak, and it didn’t learn one sentence slowly, but learned many sentences at once..."

After using his imagination and thinking about it for a while, Shi Xiaolei also became happy.

"Use dialogue to judge its IQ? Then, work backwards to estimate how strong the training effect of the ball is?"

"Bingo~!" Snapped his fingers, Stark grinned proudly: "Pure imitation means that the training effect of Wanzi is just 'teaching to master'. But if the conversation can be completed, it means The training effect of Chuwanzi is even more powerful, and it has reached the level of 'teaching until you understand'. Although there is only one word missing, the difference here...hehe, I think you should also know how big it is."

"Hmm..." After pondering for a few seconds, Shi Xiaolei nodded gently and showed a somewhat curious smile: "When you said this, I suddenly remembered what I had seen on a TV show. Some fragments. Just put a few cards with numbers in front of the parrot, and then give it a single-digit arithmetic problem and let it complete the solution..."

"Yes, that's the one~!" Stark slapped his thigh and shouted excitedly: "What is the key to choosing the correct answer from a pile of cards? It was the owner who quietly gestured and commanded Did it do that? Or did it really understand the question and then calculate it on its own? Ordinary viewers may not think that much, but from a scientific research point of view...hehe, these are two kinds of things. Completely different concepts.”

"Yes, indeed." Shi Xiaolei smiled in agreement and looked at the cockatoo on his arm again: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go to your house."

"Um?"

"Go find little Morgan. Didn't you tell me? Let her feed it herself."

"Oh." He stood up and followed Shi Xiaolei for a few steps. Suddenly, Stark shouted again, "Wait for me for a while." Then he turned back to the sofa and picked up the grape bunches on the plate on the coffee table.

“…….”

"Don't look at me like that, it's just a bunch of grapes." He popped one into his mouth and smacked his lips while mumbling vaguely: "It tastes really good, where did you buy it? Anything else? Give me some credit, Pepper and little Morgan both like eating grapes... Hey, don’t walk so fast~"
