The Lake Superior Zoo is an amazing place t o see and lean about animals from all over the world. The animal that we highlight this week is a Double Yellow-Headed Amazon Parrot named Korbel. Many generations of visitors have most likely seen Korbel who is the oldest animal at the zoo, a whopping 48 years old.
Korbel is pretty talented like most parrots, they can mimic certain sounds. Korbel will say things like "Hi how are you?" and can also make bubble sounds. I often joke with my animals by saying I wish you could talk so you could explain to me why you need to go back outside to go to the bathroom when I just let you out 10 minutes ago. But of course my dogs can't talk and not sure If Korbel would be able to answer a question like that anyway.
