Funny you post this, African Gray parrots are being ranked as intelligent (or even more intelligent) than higher form primates based on their ability to use logic in problem solving. And it appears several species of animals show six traits that were originally thought to be uniquely human: culture, "mind reading" (figure out what the other "thing" is thinking), tool use for solving problems, morality, emotions, and personality.
