No shit, even parrots can mimic and even understand human language.
Even my cat communicates with me for food or attention. The narcissism of humans is mundane, unfortunate, but also expected. Humans are NOT an apex, we simply have different adaptations. Cockroaches cant write a book, no. But they are better and faster ad breeding, and far more likely to survive a global catastrophe like that which killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
Humans think we are so invincible but we are not. If you think that, look up the water bear.

I think it's funny that if you teach a parrot how to speak and then let it back into the wild, it will teach other birds how to speak!
Another thing that is funny is the Mockingbird which can perfectly mimic that very elaborate car alarm! Someone once asked me, "What's that?" I said, "that is a pissed of squirrel". On further inspection, it was a Mockingbird mimicking a pissed off squirrel!
The most amazing bird to me is the Lyre Bird found in Australia. That bird can mimic anything, including chain saws!

My girlfriend thinks I'm a stalker. Well...she's not my girlfriend "yet".
I discovered a new vitamin that fights cancer. I call it ...B9
I also invented a diet pill. It works great but had to quit taking it because of the side effects. Turns out my penis is larger and my hair grew back. And whoa! If you think my hair is nice!
When does size truly matter? When it's TOO big!
I'm currently working on a new pill I call "Destenze". However...now my shoes don't fit.
