Some people think that it could be because of a bird's 'vocal chords' but in reality, the syrinx is the organ that does the job, as opposed to a person which has a larynx. These organs are similar, but not quite the same thing.

Basically, birds in people both have organs that allow them to make sounds. And birds are smart enough to know how to mimic a sound made from the organs of a different organism.

There are several birds that can mimic speech. These include:

  • Lyre Birds
  • Hill Mynas
  • Crows
  • Starlings
  • Macaws
  • Parrots
  • Budgerigars
  • Cockatoos
  • NOTE: NO birds can talk ... Talking is an exchange of thoughts birds merely mimic what they hear

If what you really mean is mimicking human voices, that would be mostly cockateils, parakeets, and parrots, birds like that.

Yes a bird can talk. They learn from humans and imitate them. Although in truth, they actually have probably no idea what they are saying- they just like the sound of what they are squeaking.
