Birds

 * Bird songs: Songbirds can be very articulate. Birds vocalize with songs and calls; there are differences between the two such as length, complication of the sound, and the circumstances. Some birds communicate with short sounds, others with non-vocal sounds like tapping from woodpeckers, and others communicate by sounds from their wings during flight. Grey parrots are famous for their ability to mimic human language, and at least one specimen, Alex, appeared able to answer a number of simple questions about objects he was presented with. Parrots, hummingbirds and songbirds – display vocal learning patterns.

Insects
