What types of birds can talk2007-11-24 17:26:38Answers:

Parrots are known for their verbal abilities. But Mynah birds and crows have been known to talk as well.

I must take exception to "Chinadoll" and "worldstiti's" answers. Neither of you have any recent scientific data backing up your claims that parrots don't understand what they say. I have data. LOTS of Data! There is a TON of scientific proof that that parrots are cognitive:

cog鈥i鈥ive鈥?/藞k蓲gn瑟t瑟v/

鈥揳djective 1. of or pertaining to cognition.

2. of or pertaining to the mental processes of perception, memory, judgment, and reasoning, as contrasted with emotional and volitional processes.

Birds can be taught to understand language. Please don't state things when you have no idea what you are saying.

You show me data backing up your statement and we'll see who has the longer list. Here is my data:
