This video that has gone viral shows a parrot laughing like a super-villain. Parrots use “vocal imitation” to attract a mate or find one another in a crowd. I watch this anytime I need a laugh! The gurgling at the beginning and end of the video is the best.
Michael Schindlinger, assistant professor of biology at Lesley University, wrote: “Maybe this is the best reason for these parrots to imitate: to better command the attention of a potential listener by producing sounds for which the listener already has a memory.”
