You know how cockatoos have the intelligence of a five year old human. What would you compare a green cheek to? With my girly, I'd say has the intelligence of a one or two year old with the emotional intelligence of a four year old. To be honest the only reason I'm asking this question is so I can brag that "she's as smart as a * year old human". :ysgcc::giggle:

Just like people it's hard to compare. What my kid excelled at when he was 5 was different than what other kids excelled at. :)

I think all parrots have the capacity to be as intelligent as a toddler and as moody as a teenager ;)

I'm pretty sure you could say smart as a 13 year old and be right on mark. Teenagers can go from brilliant to stupid in 1.3 seconds and back!!!! For that I truly love them (I taught junior high for many years.

Mango is the crankiest brat when she doesn't get her way. My boyfriend say's she's "just like her mama" :laugh:
