The amazing bird that can speak
JAPANESE reveals that he can “'chat” to people on the phone. This particular
species of bird is famous as the Common Hill Myna Can talking birds speak
languages other than English? The answer is a resounding “yes”, where a Common
Hill Myna is seen chatting in Japanese. Called Abe Chan, the incredible bird
has become an internet sensation many thanks to his grasp of the language, though
whether it understands what it is saying remains to be seen. The video was
uploaded by Satoko Ohno in Japan.
In this video the bird can be
seen responding to a phone call. Satoko Ohno engages in conversation with the
bird, showing off its astonishingly competent grasp of words and phrases in
Japanese. On his website, Satoko Ohno says that he has had a few mishaps with
the bird in the past. This includes Abe Chan jumping out of a window, leaving
Ohno running around an inhabited area chanting his name.
According to the IUCN It is an
animal of “least concern” in terms of conservation. The bird is famous for its unique
jet-black feathers in contrast to its orange beak and yellow markings on its
head. These birds are in average about 12in in length. The bird most notorious
trait, and its ability to mimic a varied variety of noises. At dawn and dusk,
when it is most vocal, it can be heard making a range of calls i.e. whistles
and screeches. The bird can mimic the human voice with amazing accuracy. Although
it is unlikely they are conscious what they are saying, the capability of the
birds to visibly replicate a human voice is impressive, if slightly unnerving. However,
seeing a bird speak Japanese is definitely a rare and fascinating sight.
