birds cannot. Some people say that parrots can talk because they have big, thick tongues. But
some other birds without big, thick tongues can talk and some birds with big and thick tongue
s cannot talk. Parrots do not usually know what they are saying when they talk. They are only
making sounds. However, they know when to say some words such as "Hello!"and "Goodbye
", and they usually know and say their names. Most parrots come from hot countries, but they
