My family's African Grey mimics telephone sounds, sirens, and human voices and phrases. But he does it mainly to fuck with everyone and will literally laugh after fooling someone. If an animal enjoys messing with another animal, is that a sign of intelligence?



I'm not sure whether liking it is a sign of intelligence, but I'd say that you certainly have to be intelligent to be able to intentionally fool someone this way.
