Research shows that birds can learn other species languages

Hi Denise Theres a difference between being able to understand a language and being able to speak it. It’s possible your blue faced honeyeaters are just showing off (or something else) by mimicry without understanding what the message was from the rosellas and the babblers. In addition the noise out of context may be meaningless. If the mimicry has a meaning for the blue face honeyeater (it must be a message anyway) it may not be the same meaning that the rosellas and babblers have when they make the noise. So, the honeyeater may not be understanding the language of rosellas and babblers but repeating it. Gary
