Parrots incredibly talk to one other like humans

Remarkable footage captures these two parrots appearing to chat to each other like humans.

Why can parrots talk when our closer primate relatives cannot? Parrots are vocal learners, meaning they grasp sounds by hearing and then imitating them.

Scientists believe the ability is down to the wiring in their brains. Researchers have found key structural differences in the brains of parrots that may explain the birds' unparalleled ability to imitate sounds and human speech.
