A note appended to the end of this article on the BBC website:
Note: This story about animal communication has replaced an earlier one on this page which contained factual inaccuracies we were unable to correct. As a result, the original story is no longer in our archive. It is still visible elsewhere, via the link below:'Parrot oratory stuns scientists'
It was updated thanks to many questions raised by the always wonderful Language Log blog. Read all about it here. And, yes, this is the first time we've ever seen a note/correction that talks about "factual inaccuracies we were unable to correct. " It's statement that is serious, and seriously puzzling. A bit more explanation would be appreciated. Fortunately, Language Log offers it.
Thanks for the tip, Linda!
