Are parrots the only animal that can talk?
Parrots aren't the only animal that can mimic human speech sounds. Crows, ravens, and mynah birds can also be taught to "talk." Birds don't have vocal chords or lips, but they are able to make sounds that are similar to human speech by highly controlled whistling-like behavior. It is likely that birds with the ability to closely mimic other animals' sounds can do this because it helps them hide from predators or because they use it to impress potential mates. The Lyrebird is a highly impressive mimic. They don't have a natural song of their own, but the males will make up a mating call comprised of long sequences of songs from other birds. Because of their exposure to humans, many lyrebirds will also mimic the sounds of chainsaws, automobile engines, and camera shutter clicks!

Where are the African grey parrots vocal cords?
African grey parrots, like all parrots, do not have vocal cords in the same way that mammals do. Instead, they possess a specialized vocal organ called the syrinx, located at the base of their trachea where it splits into the bronchi. This unique structure allows them to produce a wide range of sounds, including human-like speech. Their ability to mimic is attributed to the flexibility and control they have over their syrinx.
