A couple of cute parrots decided to communicate like humans

7 September 2020

The couple went viral after someone shared a video of them talking to each other.

We all know that parrots are not only incredibly adorable, but also have an extraordinary ability to imitate the sounds they hear. Their talent for imitating human language is particularly well documented on the Internet. However, does anyone know why parrots are so good at imitating sounds? Well, one explanation suggests that these brightly colored birds have evolved the ability to call out specific members of the flock this way.

On the Internet, this pair of adorable parrots is called "relationship goals."

It's no surprise that parrots are social birds and love to interact with each other. Being pack animals, they travel and feed together as a group and also do other activities together. Parrots are also often prey for predators, meaning the well-being of the flock is essential to their survival.

The couple went viral after someone shared a video of them talking to each other.

It is worth noting that these amazing birds are far from stupid!

“Humans have really big brains, but guess what, parrots have really big brains too. In fact, if you put a graph of brain size versus body mass in parrots on a graph of primates, they line up perfectly,” explained Dr. Andrew Iwaniuk from the University of Alberta.

And they even kissed!

Now that you know a thing or two about parrots and their need for communication, why not watch it live? Just last year, a short but sweet video of two colorful birds went viral because their conversation was eerily human-like. This remarkable video has been viewed by more than 5 million people, and some have dubbed it “relationship goals.”

“This one minute video has more romance than my entire life,” one person commented.
