In this paper, we attempt to solve the age-old mystery of whether a parrot's incessant repetition of phrases constitutes genuine knowledge or just a lot of hot air. Through a rigorous examination of the latest epistemological theories and a series of experiments involving various phrases and treats, we have determined that while Polly may be able to mimic human speech, her true level of understanding remains elusive. Our findings shed new light on the fascinating world of avian cognition and provide ample fodder for future jokes about talking birds.
