Communication between people is essential in the Earth family. However, when we think of communication, we often only consider human beings, but in nature, animals also communicate with each other. Animal communication is not magic, but it can be surprising when animals speak like humans.

This is the case with parrots. They do not have the ability to speak naturally, but they can learn to speak the human language after being in contact with humans for some time. This is simply a form of mimicry, but it is important to note that parrots may not always understand the meaning of the words they are repeating.

For example, when a parrot says "good morning" and "good night" at night, it may simply be repeating language it has heard.

To understand why parrots talk, let's look at the difference between parrots and human vocalization. People can speak because they have vocal cords, and the vibration of these cords produces sound. Animals, on the other hand, do not have vocal cords.

Birds, however, have an organ similar to human vocal cords that allows them to produce sound. For example, parrots can make sounds because birds also have long tubes.

Parrots have a special organ called a "song tube" which is located at the bottom of the trachea. The trachea is divided into bronchi, and the song tube has two pairs of elastic membranes called the inner and outer song membranes. These form a pair of slits that rush out of the trachea to form drums, such as the song membrane, and the sound is emitted when these drums move.

Songbirds have more developed song-tube structures compared to other birds. They have more small muscle phases that control the drumming of the song membrane and other drums, allowing them to make a variety of beautiful sounds.

Biological research has found that any bird that can learn sound has a special "singing system" in its brain. This controls the bird's chirping. The parrot's "singing system" has two levels: an internal core and an external shell.

The former is common to all birds that learn to sing, while the latter is unique to parrots. Because of this, parrots are more prominent and specialized in learning acoustics, although the exact method of operation remains unclear.

So why do parrots imitate human speech? Parrots do not mimic human speech for fun. They mimic not only people but also any sound they can hear. Research shows that parrots mimic human speech in order to integrate into human life, or to adapt to their new environment.

In general, parrots repeat the words they hear over and over again, but these words do not express their true meaning. It would certainly be interesting to see if parrots could truly talk.

Although there is no shortage of communication partners for the huge number of humans, we should consider how to better protect parrots, as the pet trade has already taken a toll on them. We do not want to see a scenario where the only remaining parrots start talking and their first words are "we hate you."
