Do parrots just imitate what they hear around them or can they form their own sentences based off what they hear and think?
In: Biology
You cannot have a conversation with them in the sense that they give an independent answer. But you can have a basic conversation with them repeating things they’ve heard in similar situations.
Example: when my in-laws open the cupboard their macaw’s dry food is in, and ask who’s hungry, he’ll respond with ‘Peebs hungry’. But it’s exactly the same as when I go to the cupboard my cat’s dry food is in, and she mews at me.
They can remember lots of phrases though, so it can seem like a conversation
