I have parrots. They're super intelligent but they're like cats in that they know exactly what you want from them, but they won't do it unless they feel like it. Bipolar little shits too, they go from cuddly little angels, to bitey little brats in seconds.
Plenty of dogs like that too... Mine used to wait until I showed him a treat before doing anything I said, and if I didn't have a treat he would just give me the funniest "Do you think I'm stupid?" look and go back to whatever he was doing.
My wife's dog won't come when I call the dogs to take them outside until I walk into the room he's in and tell him directly. Little shit.
Had to take my Corgi to training to get her off the "treat based" rewards. The first 6 months we had her it was the only way to get her to do something.
