Wild Parrots Give Their Chicks Names—Seriously!
Wild Parrots Give Their Chicks Names—Seriously!
Posted by Factor | Fun Fact Friday
Did you know that wild parrots have their own version of name tags? It's true! In the wild, parent parrots come up with unique sounds—almost like names—for each of their chicks. These special calls aren't just random squawks either. They're distinct sounds used to identify each baby individually, and the chicks learn to recognize and respond to their "name" for life!
Scientists discovered that these signature calls work like our own names, helping parrots communicate in the wild. It’s one of the coolest examples of how smart and social animals can be. So next time you hear a parrot squawk, remember—it might just be calling out to a friend... or to someone named Squawkie!
Nature's full of surprises, and this one's for the birds!
