In fact, it is known as the closest animal to humans. apes shows surprisingly similar characteristics from time to time. It does this both in individual activities and in in family structures we can see. However, our distinctions in some of the things that make us who we are can also cause confusion.

Your ability to speak is not yet as good as ours. to be underdevelopedwas one of our aforementioned awards that caused confusion until recent years. Another confusing issue that follows is that while they don’t look like ours, there are some of the birds He was able to make the sounds we make. Let’s clear up the confusion about the two issues.

We know they scream and make different noises. But that means we have to go back a bit to find out why monkeys can’t talk:

The reason monkeys can’t talk is because they’ve had the necessary structures in their throats for years. they don’t have was known as This conclusion came about as a result of experiments conducted in the 1960s and 1970s. In this experiment, scientists of course a dead monkey They obtained information through calculations by examining the throat structure. A drugged monkey was also used. This throat structure, which is quite small compared to that of a human, vowels It indicated that it could not be removed.

Years later, in a study conducted in 2016, the real truth emerged:

The experiment we were just talking about Philip Lieberman was made by We can say that this research imitated the same with more advanced techniques. The same species (macaque) monkeys took part in the experiment in question. But this time everyone lived.

The throat structure of the monkeys in question, as they communicate, eat and make sounds with each other. x-ray was watched live. As a result, a large number of images were obtained and this throat structure was three-dimensional model was unveiled. Then the air passing through it was simulated in different positions, and as a result, the sounds they could make were theoretically revealed.

A macaque asks you, “Will you marry me?” If he had said (will you marry me?) you would have heard something like this:

• This sentence was chosen because there are enough different vowels in it.

Now let’s get to our main topic: if they have the chance, why don’t they talk?

Because the problem is not in their throat, in their brains. The brain in question is not developed enough to allow it to mimic sounds. They can understand the situation they are in from certain sounds and produce sounds accordingly, but when it comes to translating it into a language by using their vocal cords like us, their brains inadequate.

So basically they have the whole set to be able to talk, but they are limited by their brains. W. Tecumseh Fitch, lead author of the 2016 study, if instead of theirs human brain like the monkeys that they can talk had stated.

Parrots can make beautiful sounds even when they are not talking. So what’s different here?

your parrot He can learn the different words to which he is constantly exposed, learn to curse, greet and memorize. But remember that they never know the meaning of most of these words. good just imitation they do.

We cannot make the ‘p’ and ‘b’ sounds without closing our lips. So how do these lipless parrots pull it out?

When parrots will talk from your lungs They play with the incoming air and make certain sounds. If you think of the respiratory system as an inverted pendulum, our vocal cords are in our throat, in the larynx. But the part that allows the parrot to produce sound open to the lungs the fork is there.

We direct the air and make sounds with the movements of our vocal cords. Parrots are at the point of distinction we mentioned. to the muscles has. For example, they can produce a certain sound by closing one road at that intersection, and another sound by closing the other road. In this context, ‘p’ and ‘b’ sound, compress the air We can say that they are formed by leaving in the blink of an eye. In addition, they can shape the sound by adjusting the beak and tongue position.

Let’s not forget that they are social animals by nature:

in the wild of bird’s voice We can say they can’t move forward. When they are at home, they will imitate them because they bond with their owners. This is of course determined by the bond between you and your parrot. Again every parrot will talk I would like to point out that there is no such rule.
