It's so sad she insisted on cancer because her parrot sister died from cancer in 2020. What an amazing bird she is! TikTok users agree and @Rin comments, "I’m sorry but her insistence on cancer is killing me." @Sadboi adds, "‘Ouch - types of ouch - cancer’ took me ouuutttt." @Emma adds, "me when I google my symptoms and assume the worst." @l15 says, "Ellie, we all have to learn at one point to not google our symptoms." LOL, True!

This is just too amazing and adorable and she clearly deserves a dragon!
Parrots are such incredibly smart creatures and studies have shown that the African grey can perform some cognitive tasks at levels beyond that of 5-year-old humans. Some parrots can count, name colors, and even distinguish between different traits, such as smaller vs. bigger.
