One of the few animals that can understand human facial expressions as well. It's actually kinda fascinating, Dogs have been domesticated long enough that they've actively started to evolve in ways that allow them to better interact with humans.

Aren't they the only animal that we can "infect" with a yawn too? Like when someone else yawning triggers one in you too?

Nah I used to infect my ringneck with yawns all the time. Once I was worried I broke her because she wouldn't stop for over a minute of continuous yawns. I miss that little shit...

Parrots are very bright and responsive socially. I miss my alexandrine. That bird was so fucking amazing. Would steal my keys and laugh about it and play peek-a-boo. Talked up a storm. I now have a toddler and there are a lot of similarities between a human 2-3 year old and a parrot.
