“Starlings are consummate mimics. They imitate sounds from other starlings and singing birds, but also from people and inanimate objects.”
The parrot is known to be able to imitate the human voice, but there is another bird that can leave us…speechless with its vocal capabilities.
According to University of Washington wildlife ecologist Rodney Seiler, it’s for the European starling, which is particularly adept at mimicry and can reproduce a variety of sounds such as the chirps of other birds, barking dogs, honking cars and the human voice.
“Starlings are consummate mimics. They imitate sounds from other starlings and singing birds, but also from people and inanimate objects,” he explained.
Their “voices” include whistles, whistles, and even robot sounds of Star Wars R2D2 as the video shows! Also surprising are the barking, children’s voices, and car horns…
“How and why starlings incorporate such an elaborate repertoire of sounds into their vocal behavior has been the subject of much research, with no single answer,” Seiler commented, adding that they appear to use their … talents to deceive or locate their members. , repelling rivals and impressing potential mating partners.
However, some scientists argue that these birds do these imitations just because it’s… fun. And if we judge from the video “they say it well”!
