Last week I presented my parents with 2 dandy parrots. Today they are christened Sophie and either Rome, Casper, Scooby, Snoopy or perhaps Chip... Not yet officially nicknamed.
What's surprising is that when it comes to the Realm of Parrots females are less valuable than males. They even cost much less than male parrots. Voila! A note of discrimination, you see!
The story goes that the owner of a light colored beak and the “producer” of eggs is not capable to sing and say words. Parrot males pretend they are real polyglots, sworn brothers with Pavarotti and ultra-mega-super-extra skillful linguists! They are said to have phenomenal talking abilities.
How about humans? Who proved to be as talkative as a male parrot, women or men?
According to some surveys a woman uses 8000 words per day to express herself while a man - a mere 3000.
That means women are around three times more garrulous than men. However, 2 minutes ago I've found out that this is a pure myth. Men need around 300 words to keep pace with women. Well, to my mind that should be the last thing for a man to compete with a woman.
So, whom to believe? What's the chattiest gender? Who's the most blah-blah-blah-stic, he or she?

I find women talk quicker, cover more topics, often while doing other tasks and with several people at once.... we are the Queens of verbal communication...
:)) Oh yes! We are multifunctional!
PS. Who can resist women? ;)
