They just mimic sound. It's nothing special the only reason they do it is because they get rewarded

If I were to edit your meme, I would change the picture, and add "But dogs can't." Just saying b/c I'm not sure why the downvotes.

You ever hear the ones that do the camera sounds? Now, that's weird.

Yeah, lyre birds. Those things blow my mind. Like, what possible reason did their ancestors have to adapt to making a chainsaw noise.

They're just copying sounds. We're the ones who interpret some sounds as words.

Nowhere near as accurately as parrots do. I always figured if an animal could emulate a human word, it'd be a primate.

So? We can too. Other animals could too, but they're too simple to think that way.
