HOW WELL CAN PARROTS TALK?

The present writer feels there may be room for research here.  For example, a parrot called N'kisi is recorded to have amassed a vocabulary of over 900 words which she could use contextually in sentences, showing an awareness of tense.




N'kisi is an African grey parrot.  Other parrots of this species, not so talented as she, are at least particularly proficient at picking up human words, though how many they understand we cannot say.
