Is the first video from when Jane Goodall visited, and without being previously informed the parrot asked if she brought her toys? When asked what he meant, the parrot replied where's your *perfect imitation of a chimp*?

If it is, I think the parrot actually failed the psychic test by one question. They didn't count as correct the response about the head poking out of the taxi.
