In the paper, "The Game of Squawk: A Strategic Analysis of Parrots in Social Dilemmas," we examine the complex decision-making processes of parrots as they navigate various social situations. Drawing on game theory principles, we explore how parrots weigh the benefits of cooperation versus competition, and how they use their keen social intelligence to outwit their feathered foes. By pairing observations of parrot behavior in the wild with simulations of social dilemmas, we provide valuable insights into the strategic thinking of these feathered geniuses. So, if you've ever wondered what goes on inside the mind of a parrot, this paper is for you. Squawk on!
