Can birds from different countries understand each other?

Different types of birds may understand what each other are saying. Birdsong is more like music, rather than a true language. Birds recognise the alarm calls of other species, but the song of a lovesick sparrow is of no interest to a pigeon, so there is no reason for them to pay attention.

Do birds understand each others calls?

And according to a new report from Kyoto University’s Hakubi Center for Advanced Research, the same thing happens in birds. Previous reports have shown that animals with shared predators can eavesdrop on and respond to each other’s calls, indicating that they can partly understand other species.

Do birds alert other birds?

Birds’ alarm calls serve both to alert other birds to danger and to warn off predators. And some birds can pull a ventriloquist’s trick, singing from the side of their mouths, according to a UC Davis study. They might be warning others of the threat, but they might also be telling the predator, “I’ve seen you.”

Do birds actually understand what they say?

They don’t really know what they’re saying. But some professionally-trained parrots have learned to understand what they’re saying. One such bird was an African Grey Parrot called Alex. Parrots aren’t the only birds that can learn to imitate sounds.

Do parrots understand us?

While other birds can mimic certain human sounds, parrots can imitate human speech better than other creatures. While some parrots have advanced mimicking abilities that allow them to vocalize human words and phrases, they don’t understand the meanings behind them.

Do birds have languages?

Yes, birds absolutely have language. They use both body language and specific vocalizations to communicate with other birds, attract mates, stay in contact with family, announce/defend territory, and gain advanced warning of nearby predators & danger.
