What do parrots say? Detailed answer
Directory / Big encyclopedia. Questions for quiz and self-education Did you know? What do parrots say? People love to listen to the chatter of a parrot: it is very funny. But it seems to be still unknown how these birds manage to imitate human speech so well! Some believe that the parrot can speak due to the special structure of the tongue, which is so large and thick. Perhaps such a device of the language helps him to speak, but still it is not such a prerequisite for speaking. Other "talking" birds, such as the tropical starling, raven, and raven, do not have such a thick and large tongue. And hawks and falcons have just such languages, but they cannot speak! Maybe the parrot speaks due to the fact that its level of intelligence is higher than that of other birds? This is probably not the reason for his speaking either. By the way, most biologists believe that parrots and other talking birds do not understand the meaning of the words they pronounce, although they may catch some connection between certain expressions and the actions they denote. Maybe parrots can "talk" because their vocal and auditory mechanisms work more slowly than other birds. And it's likely that human sounds resemble the natural sounds of parrots and are therefore easier to imitate. Parrots are quite interesting from other points of view. They can adapt to almost any living conditions. That is why sailors took them with them on long journeys. And although their homeland is the tropics, parrots, being in captivity, feel great in zones with a temperate climate, and even with a cold climate. Parrots are very brave birds and always support their brothers in trouble. If one of them is threatened by some kind of danger, then the whole flock will stand up for him. In search of food, they jump from branch to branch like monkeys, using not only their paws, but also their beaks. In principle, they may well use their paws as hands, especially when eating.

What is taxidermy? The animals you see in natural history museums are the work of taxidermists. The same can be said about reptiles and birds, about fish, which proud fishermen hang on their walls. We think of them as "stuffed animals" and in most cases this is exactly what taxidermy does. Taxidermy is the art of making stuffed birds, animals, fish and reptiles. It has been around for about 300 years, and the earliest known effigy was a stuffed rhinoceros made in the sixteenth century. When an animal dies, its internal organs and other body parts begin to decompose. In order to preserve the animal in such a way that it looks real and "alive", the insides must be removed. Then the appearance of the bird, fish or animal can be preserved. The job of the taxidermist is to mount the "appearance" of the animal on the frame in such a way that the color, structure and overall appearance is preserved, and that it all looks natural. Let's see how a stuffed animal is made, using the example of a large animal - a deer. As soon as the body of the animal reaches the taxidermist, he takes measurements of various parts of the body, after which the skin is carefully removed. The skin is well salted in order to preserve it until the moment when it gets into the taxidermist's workshop. All soft tissues and muscles are cut off. The bones are cleaned and the entire skeleton is preserved if possible. The skin is tanned so that it does not tear and so that its hairline is preserved. Thus, the taxidermist has the skin and bones of the animal, as well as carefully taken measurements. He puts the skeleton in the required position, using props. Then wet clay is laid out over the skeleton. A taxidermist makes an accurate clay model of an animal in compliance with the shape and dimensions. Gypsum is then applied over the clay mold, resulting in an artificial body. In conclusion, a tanned skin is stretched over the artificial body. The eyes are made of glass, and oil paints are used to restore faded colors. Now you have an animal that looks natural and alive, and you can exhibit it. Making stuffed birds, fish and amphibians is done differently, but the basic principles are the same.
