Discovered the secret: Why the parrot little crow talking

Specifically, they found that the ability of a parrot to mimic faithfully the sounds they hear in their environment, including human voices, he’s probably hiding in the unique structure of a region of the brain.
American and European researchers, led by associate professor of neurobiology Erich Jarvis at Duke University in the B.Carolina, who made the relevant publication in the journal “PLoS One”, they discovered that some of the “circuits” of the brain of the parrot became a double here and at least 29 million years.
This evolutionary quirk seems to allow the parrot to become an expert at impersonations of the sounds around him, as well as the existence of two identical regions in the brain, gives him the ability to copy the sounds they hear and their processes in the neural centers of the.
Few animals in nature -mainly birds – they can mimic sounds and voices like a parrot. The scientists assume that the analogue mimetic ability in humans arose through a similar copying of certain brain circuits, although it remains unknown how and why this happened.
