Parrots are the class clowns of the animal kingdom. When they make an appearance in movies or TV, they’ll often say something funny and/or inappropriate at exactly the right moment, winning laughs for itself and its poor, hapless human victim at the same time.

But parrots don’t just have comedic prowess —  they’re also bird brainiacs. According to a study on African grey parrots, some birds can engage in simple conversation and learn up to 2,000 different words.

So when they do something funny, they might have done it on purpose, rather than simply coincidentally.
