Some people want to adopt an animal to enjoy a gentle and comforting presence when others simply want to converse with it. If you are part of this category of people who want a companion they can talk to, you are in the right place!
Beware, even if the birds featured in this article have the ability to speak, nothing and no one should ever force them to do so. Some birds are shyer than others and will never speak. So, if you decide to adopt a bird, make sure it’s not just for its ability to speak but to create a bond with it. Birds are great companions of life, regardless of whether they speak or not!

However, beware, some species may tend to pinch.
