Tumblr Thread: African Grey Parrots Are The Smartest Jerks

Whenever we hear about the shenanigans that people have with their pet birds, as people who've never had birds for pets, we always have a bit of a hard time understanding. It seems… almost impossible for these birds to have so much personality, let alone for them to be jerks. And yet… we've heard of a parrot purposefully messing with a dog, we've heard of parrots behaving like absolute jerks. We've even heard of a peacock acting like a jerk.

But now, we think we've come across the ultimate species of bird jerks - the African grey parrot. We came across tumblr thread with stories that are so hilariously insane about them, we simply had to share it with all of you guys. Don't forget though, after reading all of these jerk-bird stories, that birds can be totally adorable too.
