Research has found that parrots taught to video call each other become less lonely. The study involved teaching parrots to use video calling technology, such as FaceTime, to connect with other parrots. The outcome of the research suggests that this interaction has a positive effect on the birds' emotional well-being, although one report mentions a separate breakthrough involving a rare bird relearning its lost "love song", which may or may not be related to the video calling study.
