I know they’re just mimicking words and attach no meaning to them but can someone explain why they’re not able to attach meaning to them and form sentences in the way that humans do? I guess the wider question is why humans can’t communicate with animals.

Not exactly true. My African Grey parrot promotes “conversation” all the time. When I got up this morning, she said to me, “Good morning!”. I replied back, “Good morning, Lola”. She then asked, “How are you?”. She does this most mornings. She calls the dog when it’s dinner time, she reminds us when it’s bedtime, she greets us when we come into the room, she answers the phone when she hears one ringing, she asks, “who is it?” when she hears the doorbell. All sorts of cause and effect and attempts at “conversation”.
