Once there was raven (Corvus corax) who was schizoid and lived in a cage by the perch of a Blue-and-yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna) who repeated uncouthly and daylong the articulations that their masters produced, and only those that ventured inside its ear canal.  While eating the raven thought like this: if only I could ever talk, I would talk like the Macaw.

Was the raven a schizoid in the sense that he had Schizoid Personality Disorder?
