African Grey Parrots: English Language and Interspecies Communications - Talk to the Animals?

The truth of the power of the activities mentioned about is evident in the role they play in Phsyical Therapy and Occupational Therapy adminstered to the physically injured, MR/DD populations, the brain-injured populace, the autistic, and the emotionally traumatized at least; and probably more gorups. Applying them produces positive results along a range of degree. In China, these powerful activities prepare children to outpace much of the rest of the world in academics and the arts.

I have worked with autism spectrum, ADD/ADHD, MR/DD, and closed head trauma clients and seen the positive results myself. Not every time, but most of the time. Moreover, the injured brain and the whole CNS continues to heal as long as that brain can live and the body support it.

I remind us all that Christopher Reeve had regained movement in his hands and was just able to walk under water on his own power after much therapy, but repiratory infections ended his life before he could heal fully. S foundation continues the work. The CNS is a miraculous electrical creation.

Language aquisition and use is only one function of it. We really have no idea how much any CNS can accomplish, given stimulation and time. An African Grey Parrot received 31 years of intense attention and, bluntly, he became a 5-year-old human to the humans that loved him.

This places a different understanding to the notion of Old Testament assignment of humanity as mindful stewards of animal life, and not as tyrant kings. It gives a greater depth to the understanding of Native American conservation and the ceremonies used to thank animals for giving up their lives as sources for food, clothing, shelter, tools, and weapons. Rather than worship, I see this as not only thanksgiving, but a way of slowing down activities to enforce time for thought about them and their consequences -- There is no thought in a poacher cutting off a rhino's horn raggedly and leaving it to bleed to death, for instance.

Humans are still the top of the intelligence chain and I think have the responsibility of avoiding the frivolous misuse and waste of other lives. Indeed, animal abuse is illegal in many US cities, with attached jail time.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
