This is just an incredible story, and so amazing ! Apparently, parrots, cockatoos, and other talking birds are teaching their wild counterparts to talk.
Sometimes a bird escapes, and flies out of a door or window , never to be seen again.
Other times, it is because the owner simply took the bird out in the wild and released it.
Either way, these domesticated birds, who have learned to talk, are now teaching the wild birds to mimic phrases that they have learned to say.
People have called police because they could hear voices out in the back yard, but couldn't see anyone; only to discover that it was wild parrots out there calling things like "I'm a pretty boy" back and forth to each other.
This reminds me of the story of a chimpanzee who was released back into the wild, and he was teaching sign language to the wild chimps.
