Scientists suggest parrots use "names"
A recent study suggests that parrots may not be limited to simply mimicking sounds, but might also use "names" in a manner similar to humans. A researcher from Northern Colorado University analyzed recordings of over 880 captive parrots, and the results showed that some birds use specific sounds to identify people they know. They can associate certain voices with particular individuals, aiming for social communication. The study confirms that parrots' ability to use "names" is complex and not merely imitation. It seeks to understand how these behaviors relate to animal cognition and intelligence, noting that the roles of these vocal signals are still under investigation.
