How do Parrots and Mynas speak ?


For many hundred years, man has always grown birds as pets. Mostly man has been close to parrots and mynas. Both these birds can be taught to speak like humans. Ever wonder how these birds can do this ? Some people believe that because the parrots have tongue similar to humans, they do this. But why couldn’t the eagles and hawks do it ?



The real fact is that the parrots and mynas are brilliant when compared to other birds. The speech and reception mechanisms of these birds are slow. In fact, they cannot recognize what they themselves are speaking. But because of the fact that they are brilliant, they can clearly follow our lip movements and can very easily reproduce that same tone as that of ours.
