The bird known for its remarkable ability to imitate human speech with incredible accuracy is the African grey parrot (Psittacus erithacus). African grey parrots are renowned for their high intelligence, exceptional vocal mimicry skills, and ability to learn and reproduce a wide range of sounds and words.
These parrots are native to the rainforests of West and Central Africa and have gained fame for their capacity to mimic not only human speech but also various environmental sounds, such as doorbells, telephone ringtones, and even the sounds of other animals. Their ability to communicate and mimic human language has made them popular as pets and as subjects of scientific research into animal cognition and communication.
