Piaget

Piaget was a father in England in the early 1900's. He spent the first several years of his newborn baby's life observing and documenting everything the child did. He was not an expert in child development but he was meticulous in documenting the development of his own child. This attention to detail seemed to be the thing to do in England at the time (i.e.:Darwin). His observations and theories of the cognitive development of children are now taught in every university around the world.

Now the bird tie-in...

You know more than you think about the cognitive abilities of your parrot. Your day to day interactions with your bird are unique and insightful. Each of you has a wealth of knowlege about the cognitive development of parrots. Some people wish to portray themselves as experts (and they well may be) but each of you is the ultimate expert on your pet. More thoughts on this later...
