Parrots Eat With Their Feet All birds have amazing grip but only the parrot is able to hold food up to their beak while eating .They can grasp onto their food with one foot and then move it up to their beak so they can nibble on it . In fact , parrots eat very similarly to how we do . Their fleshy toes act a lot like how human fingers do .

Most Parrots Can Imitate Sound Parrots imitate sound so that they can fit in with their surroundings . These social birds don't like to feel like they're missing out , so they mimic sounds they hear around them to communicate .

They don't have vocal cords as humans do , they use the muscles in their throats to direct the air differently , which allows them to mimic sounds such as a ringing phone , creaking door or a barking dog .
