More Than Bird Brains
Of the many lonely mad scientists one in particular surrounded
himself with parrots. He didn't like the company of people. Felt they
could steal his work. But after the parrots conversations grew too
dull(only being able to mimic and have a few trained phrases grew
tiresome and could only fill the void of social interaction so much)
he decided to use his science to make the birds much smarter.
It worked and soon the birds became massively intelligent. Even
beyond what the scientist anticipated. They could talk with him about
anything. Match his smarts in any subject and keep up with him. They
could read all his books and learned quickly and from each other. The
scientist would never find a conversation with the birds boring. Some
became interested in mathematics, science, literature, or philosophy.
They became feathered masters of so many things. Groups of the birds
worked together to make music on the piano and make songs in human
genres or whatever they pleased.
After awhile though the birds began to find the scientist boring and
they flew off to find more interesting people to speak with. The
scientist was lonely again. He decided he needed to invent another
thing to keep him company. Perhaps a super intelligent robot?
