Why can parrots talk?/¿Por qué los loros pueden hablar?

Hello, friends of Hive Pets! I'm sure that at some point you have asked yourselves this question: Why can parrots talk... is this really true... but how is it that they can talk? Join me and I'll explain it to you.

To speak, human beings require several elements, first of all the lungs, which push air through the trachea to the vocal cords, making them vibrate and from there the sounds travel to the mouth where we can shape the sounds through the tongue and lips, so how can parrots do it if they have no larynx, lips or vocal cords?

Para hablar, los seres humanos requerimos de varios elementos, en primer lugar los pulmones, que empujan el aire a través de la traquea hacia las cuerdas vocales, haciéndolas vibrar y de allí los sonidos viajan hasta la boca donde podemos darle forma a los sonidos mediante la lengua y los labios, entonces ¿cómo pueden hacerlo los loros si ellos no tienen laringe ni labios ni cuerdas vocales?

Parrots, like all birds, have an organ called the syrinx, but they also have a long and very thick tongue which, when moving rapidly (like the human vocal cords), causes air vibrations to hit the syrinx which is between the trachea and the bronchi (it's an organ with two separate cavities).

Parrots can learn between 200 and 250 words, they can even repeat whole sentences or even sing, here is a sample of this in this video where you can see Mauricio, my neighbour's parrot, she stimulates him a lot and for that reason he is very talkative.

That's all for today, I hope you liked the information I brought you, as well as Mauricio's video.

Below is the source of the page where I found the information I used in this post.

The video in this post is my property, it was filmed with my mobile phone.
