Are parrots the only animal that can talk?

Answer 1

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!

Answer 2

No. Parrots are not the only animal that can talk because certain other birds "talk". Parrots aren't really talking, its a thing in their throat that allows them to make sounds that are just like talking! types of birds that talk are Macaws, Amazons, Lovebirds, Cockatoos, Ravens, Starlings, mynah (indian starlings), and more. :3

Answer 3

Parrots are intelligent birds that mimic sounds and movement. That's why the start to talk like a human, the hear us do it so often that they just start to mimic it.
