As soon as he gets home, he puts the parrot in his living room and decides to test its intelligence.
He asks, "What's the capital of France?"
Without hesitation, the parrot responds, "Paris!"
Impressed, the man continues, "How many continents are there?"
The parrot replies, "Seven!"
Amazed, the man thinks of a trickier question, "Okay, what's the square root of 144?"
The parrot quickly responds, "Twelve!"
The man can't believe his luck and decides to have some fun. He says, "Okay, what's my name?"
The parrot looks at him for a moment and says, "Dave!"
The man is astonished and says, "That's incredible! How did you know my name?"
The parrot smirks and says, "Dave, I've been watching you for years. You talk to yourself a lot. It wasn't that hard to figure out."
The man, feeling a bit embarrassed, laughs and says, "Fair enough! But you're still an amazing parrot."
The next day, the man comes home from work, and the parrot looks at him and says, "Hi, Dave! How was your day?"
Surprised, the man replies, "It was good, thanks. How about yours?"
The parrot sighs and says, "Same old, same old. Just hanging out, watching you."
The man chuckles and says, "Well, at least you're honest!"
A few days later, the man's friend comes over and is fascinated by the talking parrot. The friend decides to test it out and asks, "What's the meaning of life?"
The parrot looks at him and says, "Dave, for the last time, I'm not a philosopher. Go ask someone else!"
