Scientists have made a Grand discovery about parrots

Parrots, like humans, give names to their Chicks.

Scientists have found that parrots, like humans, give their Chicks unique names, which the birds then use life.

The experiment was carried out on specialists selenocosmia passerines the parrots.

The authors of the study observed 20 pairs of budgies, which have hatched Chicks. Researchers had known that birds respond to a certain combination of sounds unique to each parrot is an analogue of the name. 12 pairs, scientists have mixed the masonry, and finally the Chicks were raised by their biological parents. On

the remaining 8 pairs served as control. The idea of scientists consisted of the following: if the unique combination of sounds is primarily genetic in nature, then the names of the budgies will resemble the sounds of their biological parents, regardless of whether they raise their Chicks or not. If the names of the Chicks give the adults raising them, they will not be similar to the cries of the biological parents.

It turned out that the combination of sounds, which themselves have identified the juveniles, was a slightly modified combination, which often used the birds, bringing up newborn Chicks. That is exactly the speech of the guardians served as a matrix for selecting Chicks of his name, regardless of whether the “guardians” the real parents or not.
