How can a parrot talk? What is the biological process they have that is responsible for this?
In: Biology
Parrots have a syrinx – the equivalent of vocal cords in humans.
They manipulate the syrinx’s shape and tightness while breathing to produce sound, just like a human.
However, while a human uses their tongue position in the mouth, larynx, and lips to create sound, Parrots can only manipulate the sound with the back of their tongue and throat.
