The text asserts that African grey parrots can remember 1,500 words, understand their meanings, and recognize shapes, colors, and numbers.
The evidence provides a mixed picture of African grey parrots' cognitive abilities. They are demonstrated to understand words and numerical concepts to some extent, but specific claims such as memorizing 1,500 words lack strong evidence. Various studies highlight their problem-solving skills, word mimicry, and understanding of concepts like numbers and shapes. However, the precise claim of word memory lacks direct corroborative evidence, making it less certain.

African grey parrots can remember around 1,500 words.
No direct evidence supports the specific figure of 1,500 words. While African grey parrots are known for their high cognitive abilities, including memory, specific numbers like 1,500 words are not reliably documented in the evidence.
