I believe you missed his wit, as your interpretation was the understated meaning of his dialogue.
He was being dry in his speech in an attempt to inject humor into a boring treatise on the topic
of the English language.

And so, without further ado, allow me to prove my hypothosis concerning the tedious nature of
the English language.

My brother bought an African Grey when he was in the merchant navy and his route took him down the coast of Africa. Somebody on shore was selling them for a couple of dollars. He brought the poor bird back to England and she became family. Always felt sad for her because they live in flocks. Not stuck in some apartment in England. Smart and sociable and affectionate. I would agree that her EQ was like a 5 year old child. Loved that bird.
