These 7 birds that can talk: Which bird speaks best? Can some whistle? Discover 7 birds capable of reproducing the sounds of human language.
In birds, some species have the ability to retain the sounds they hear and reproduce them. They can thus imitate humans. Here are 7 birds that have this extraordinary ability.
The Budgie
Recognizable by its colorful belly and black-speckled head, the wavy parakeet has a great capacity for memorization. On average, this bird can retain between 300 and 500 words, usually the most repeated by its owners.
The smartest birds can have a vocabulary of nearly 1,700 words. However, this ability to speak is observed mainly in birds living without other congeners.
The cockatiel
Native to Australia, the elegant cockatiel is one of the smartest pets. Large whistler, the male can retain songs and play them to his owner. It is also the male who is best able to learn a few words. It will then speak with a high-pitched voice, but less clear than other birds.
The cockatoo
A tropical bird, the white cockatoo is a particularly sociable and intelligent bird. Daily training will allow him to quickly learn to speak, especially by using words related to diet or play.
The Amazon Parrot
The Amazon Parrot: The golden-napped or yellow-napped Amazon is a small green and yellow bird capable of remembering words, phrases, and even songs. However, it learns less quickly than other birds that “talk”. Great patience is therefore essential for the master who wishes to learn to speak to the golden-necked Amazon. It is also important that only the person closest to the bird performs this training, and, from the youngest age of the animal.
The Common hill myna
The common hill myna, whether it lives in the wild or in captivity, is an excellent imitator. While it is known for its ability to reproduce the sounds of certain objects, it can also learn to pronounce words. Training from an early age is then recommended for this bird. Be careful though, because, despite its affectionate side, it is also very noisy.
The African grey parrot
Also called Grey Parrot, the African grey parrot is the most popular parrot capable of speaking. Being able to remember entire sentences and thousands of words, he is especially able to use them to communicate. In this, it is one of the few birds that can really exchange with its master. In addition, his ability to imitate is such that he can reproduce a human voice to which he is accustomed.
The Macaw
Protected species and subject to strict regulations, blue macaws and hyacinths are birds more present in zoos than in individuals. But they possess the same learning and imitation abilities as gray parrots. The words they remember the most are those related to exercises and daily habits.
