Can parrots understand human speech?
Parrots have amazing imitation abilities. They can indeed imitate human speech and even imitate the tone of voice. However, this is not the same as understanding. Parrots don't really understand the meaning of words, they just associate sounds with specific situations. Scientific research shows that parrots lack human language cognitive abilities and cannot use language to express ideas or conduct complex communications like humans. Therefore, the claim that parrots can "understand human speech" should be viewed with caution and based on scientific evidence.
