Birds & Babies learn language the same way

Thanks for posting this. :)

 

It really good to see scientists studying this and find that parrot and other birds have a huge vocal/language/understanding ability, besides Dr. Pepperburg.

 

I used to breed finches for several years, namely zebra's. There was around a flock of 30 with 12 to 14 pairs. Over the years I thought I was nuts, but they would sing a morning welcome tune that seemed similar to my morning chat with them, same welcome or praise but different song for lunch and dinner and finally sleep time. I really miss that chorus of an entire flock and the beautiful songs they would greet myself and wife with and of course they still had their natural songs intact. On generation after the next these greetings were amazing.

 

Then I get Dayo my CAG and he floored me.....at around 12 months old and does each and everyday. Keeping birds as friends is an indescribable joy I think.
