Parrots don't talk, they just imitate sounds

Parrots cannot communicate with people, but they are able to imitate sounds. The structure of the beak and tongue allows the reproduction of what they hear, such as words and whistles.

This is possible because these birds have control of the syrinx – an organ located in the trachea, equivalent to the human vocal cords. In nature, they learn to imitate what they hear to exchange information with other birds of their species.

The reproduction ability varies, depending on the personality and the owner's incentive for the animal to reproduce the sounds. It is important to know that this is a wild animal and is only considered legal when purchased from breeding sites registered with Ibama.
