One of the key ‘Science Fiction’ themes in my Singularity’s Children series, is that animals are much smarter than we generally assume. 
Teach a parrot to talk and it has surprisingly clever things to say. 
It seems unfair that an animal has to first learn our language before sitting its IQ test.
I am convinced that animals will sound smarter in their own languages, just as my kids tell me I come across as a dimwit when I speak in German.
