Parrots learn to make video calls to chat with other parrots, then develop friendships with each other
Researchers from Northeastern University, in conjunction with scientists from MIT and the University of Glasgow, conducted a study exploring the impact of teaching a group of domesticated birds to communicate using tablets and smartphones. The findings indicate that utilizing video calls may assist parrots in mimicking the communication patterns observed in wild birds, potentially enhancing their behavior and overall well-being in the homes of their owners.

The stages show a light gold bird base, from which emerge a silhouette of the same color sitting on a blue lozenge. The lozenge is then turned inside out and covers the silhouette, bringing the whole shape back to the beginning. This cycle repeats until the end of the song.]

Definitely one of the most interesting models I've folded! The folding sequence fully deserves its name, and a little animation
