Birds That Speak.

Ravens, crows and magpies are all
better speakers than parrots. they
are not 30 versatile and the sounds
they utter are less varied, but their
voices and articulation are far more
human. A crows talk in the next
room may easily be mistaken for that
of a person. Parrots are the best inn
f%tators; that Is to say, they mimic
whistling and other noises, particulars
ly laughing, to admiration. 1t has been
remarked that their voices In speaking
are like that of a crazy person.
