This paper examines the application of game theory in the decision-making process of a parrot. Through a series of experiments, we observed the parrot's ability to anticipate and strategize in the face of uncertain outcomes. Results indicate that the avian subject displayed a keen sense of competition, often exhibiting tactics such as bluffing and risk-taking. While our findings provide insight into the cognitive abilities of the parrot, we must also acknowledge the possibility that our feathered friend may have simply been playing with us the whole time. Either way, we hope that this research serves as a reminder to never underestimate the intelligence of our winged counterparts.
