In light of increasing concerns regarding the possibility of nuclear war and its catastrophic impact on flora and fauna, this study examines the potential effects of nuclear annihilation on the linguistic abilities of parrots. Through a rigorous study of parrots subjected to simulated nuclear detonations, we found that despite the apparent destruction of their surroundings, parrots were able to expand their vocabulary in unexpected and creative ways. Our findings suggest that in the event of a nuclear apocalypse, parrots will likely be among the few species capable of maintaining a robust linguistic tradition. The implications of these findings for the future of language and culture are discussed.
