Einstein is especially curious. That makes her easy to train.
Einstein joined the Knoxville Zoo in Tennessee when she was five years old.
Imagine you’re at the zoo. You hear a tiger growl. That’s not surprising. Lots of zoos have tigers. But what if you’re nowhere near the tiger exhibit? Next you hear a chimp screech. But there are no chimps around. And then a pirate says, “Arrgh!” Is it some kind of trick? Not if you’re at the Knoxville (sounds like NOX-vil) Zoo in Knoxville, Tennessee, U.S.A. It means you’ve just found Einstein, one of the most amazing parrots in the world!
Did You Know?
Albert Einstein was a German-born scientist. He was considered a genius and won a Nobel Prize. He also owned a parrot named Bibo.
Einstein joined the Knoxville Zoo more than 20 years ago. The zoo wanted to put together an animal show. It hired an animal talent scout. That’s someone who looks for awesome animals that can learn to perform. When the talent scout heard about a very smart five-year-old parrot named Einstein, he knew he had to meet her.
Einstein is an African gray parrot. In the wild, African grays live in large groups called flocks. Some flocks have 100 birds. Living in such large groups makes them social, or friendly, with each other.
African gray parrots live in the rain forests of Africa. But Einstein was not born in Africa. She was hatched in California. Einstein’s owners could tell that she was extra smart. That’s why they named her after the scientist Albert Einstein. He was so smart that people called him a genius!
