Many students think that learning a new language is very hard. Now think how hard it is to learn English when your brain is only the size of a bird’s brain! The following is what some birds can do.

Many different kinds of birds can copy the sounds of language. African grey parrots (鹦鹉) are the most famous for this. Every December in London, the National Cage and Aviary Bird Show (全国宠物鸟展览) tries to find the best “talking” bird in the world. One bird named Prudle stood out among the “talking birds”. She won this prize for twelve times.

Prudle was taken from her nest in Africa. She was sold to Iris Frost in England. Prudle knew almost 800 words in English. Prudle was also the oldest bird in the world that lived in a cage. Ms. Frost took care of the bird until Prudle died when it was 35 years old.

A different kind of bird named Puck was tested about the English words she knew. She knew more than 1,700 words.

If a bird can do it, anybody can do it.
