Many people have heard parrots talk in human languages. But how many have seen a bird become a multilingual expert? You can imagine if a parrot learned the English password to guard a house’s safe, and then one day you hear it using the Spanish password! Today, I’ll share some amazing information about such a grey parrot.
One of the wonders of zoology is the birds’ talking system. Birds can learn anything humans teach them to say, whether it’s English, Spanish, French or Hindi or any other language. Sometimes people even use a bird’s language as a password for safes. A man in Britain loves African grey parrots and kept one with him for a long time.
He loved the bird so much and named the bird Nigel. After much effort, he taught Nigel to speak English fluently. But then, suddenly, his beloved parrot disappeared without any clue and that was very surprising.
The man was really heartbroken and searched everywhere but couldn’t find his beloved Nigel. Four years had passed. Then, he got the parrot back from a person in the US. Nigel recognized his old master without any problem.
But something was different. The bird no longer spoke English. After observing for a while, the man realized Nigel was speaking Spanish. The bird had completely forgotten English. Nigel now only speaks excellent Spanish and the old man was again surprised to see such change in his bird.
