Yes. I'm surprised nobody even tried answering it before.

Edit: For those who don't know:
The BSOD on earlier versions of windows occured everywhere where it occurs on later ones, plus where the later ones give the much more friendly error reports. Now a program crashing means a program crashing and not a program crashing and taking the rest of the computer with it, and the BSOD only comes out rarely if at all.

In a cage there are a number of parrots. Each male parrot can see twice as many females as males and each female can see equal numbers of males as females. How many parrots are in the cage?

Clarification: The male sees two females for himself, and the females aren't counting themselves.

f = total female    m = total male

2(m-1) = f
(f-1) = m

f = 4
m = 3
f+m = 7

2(m-1) = f
(f-1) = m

f = 4
m = 3
f+m = 7

Why not?  It's better than "female parrots can't count."

However, I found this riddle in some book I was reading:
