Do parrots just imitate what they hear around them or can they form their own sentences based off what they hear and think?

Parrots don’t use language.

They can be trained to use words and sentences, and respond to them.

A dog with the correct anatomy would also be able to learn how to respond to a person. As we can already train dogs to respond to verbal commands.

But no animal we know of is able to use language in ways that we commonly define language in.
