Parrots can be found in most warm regions of the
world, including India, southeast Asia and west
Africa. The Carolina Parakeet, now extinct, lived
in the United States. By far the greatest number
of parrot species come from Australasia, South America,
and Central America.
Parrots do not have vocal cords, so sound is accomplished
by expelling air across the mouth of the bifurcated
trachea. Different sounds are produced by changing
the depth and shape of trachea. So, talking parrots
are really whistling in different variations. Congo
African Grey parrots (CAG) are well known for their
ability to "talk", which may be caused
by more control, or stronger trachea. But that dosen't
mean that a cockatiel (cockatiels are not well known
for talking ability), could have a greater vocabulary
than an African Grey parrot... |
