Based on cognitive ability in birds, this work investigates the concept of imitation in nature. I worked in collaboration with a specialist to create a basic test of learning in order to teach a parrot a new sound. The chosen sound was that of a 16 mm camera (the mechanical sound the motor makes to run the film). After several learning sessions, we filmed the blue and yellow macaw imitating the sound of the camera, thus creating a feedback loop.
