Parrots can imitate human language. Are parrots the cleverest birds in the world?

Parrots can imitate people, but this only shows that parrots have strong imitation ability. Although parrots are smart birds in the world, if you add? Most? This word is somewhat inconsistent. In fact, the crow is the cleverest bird simply by looking at IQ, and there is a african grey parrot that can compete with the crow. Not all parrots can imitate human speech, and some parrots can't speak.

Compared with ordinary parrots, parrots in african grey parrot are smarter. Besides imitating human speech, it can even create some new words by itself. Even the words that the master has never said may come from african grey parrot's mouth. Moreover, this parrot also has the ability to recognize colors, and the knowledge and language it has learned can be handed over to its offspring. In addition to simple imitation, this parrot can talk to people normally.

Parrots can talk for three reasons. The first reason is that parrots can imitate not only human speech, but also animal speech. Therefore, parrots can also use their imitation ability to disguise themselves in nature, for example, they can imitate the sounds of animals to scare away natural enemies when they are in danger.

The second reason is that the parrot's vocal muscles are very developed, and this part of the muscles is controlled by the parrot's brain, so the irregular vibration of the vocal muscles under the control of the brain will produce different sounds. The third reason is that the parrot's tongue structure is very special. Generally, birds have sharp tongues, but parrots' tongues are really round, much like human tongues. Therefore, when a parrot learns to speak, its tongue will be more flexible.

The way to train parrots to speak is to establish emotional connection with parrots. It is useless for strangers to tease parrots. Only people who are familiar with parrots can make them talk. Moreover, it is best to keep absolute silence when training parrots to speak in the morning. If there are other sounds, the learning effect will be much worse, and parrots will be easily attracted by other sounds. Moreover, when teaching, it is best to start simple and step by step.
