One of the most celebrated claims about Yellowstone’s wolves is facing a major challenge.

Parrots may be doing more than just repeating words—they may actually use names. By analyzing hundreds of recordings from pet parrots, researchers found evidence that many birds use specific names to identify particular people, animals, and even individual companions.
