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 grey parrots are the 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 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.
