Talking Birds
Many students of English think that learning a new language is
very difficult. Now think how difficult it is to learn English when
your brain is only the size of a bird's brain! That is what some
birds can do.
Many different kinds of birds can copy the sounds of language.
African gray parrots are the birds best known for this.
Every December in London, the National Cage and Aviary Bird
Show tries to find the best "talking" bird in the world. one bird
named Prudle stood out among the "talking birds". She won this
prize for 12 years in a row from 1965 to 1976.
Prudle was taken from her nest in Uganda in 1958. She was
sold to Iris Frost in Seaford, England. Prudle knew almost 800
words in English.
Prudle was also the oldest bird in the world that lived in a cage.
Ms. Frost took care of the bird until Prudle died in 1994. Prudle
was 35 years old.
A different kind of bird, not a parrot, named Puck was tested in
1993. It turned out that Puck knew more English words than
Prudle knew. Puck knew more than 1,700 words.
If a bird can do it, anybody can do it.(205 words)
