abstract:Talking birds are birds that can mimic human speech. Talking birds have varying degrees of intelligence and communication capabilities: some, like the crow, a highly intelligent bird, are able to mimic only a few words and phrases, while some budgerigars have been observed to have a vocabulary of almost two thousand words.
Tom Kline, a lawyer for the alleged victim's mother, said the girl's report of a talkingbird in the house where she was held became a focal point of the investigation.
