do birds talk among each other or is it just singing?

I have had parakeets for a very long time. Sometimes I have had up to 8 parakeets at a time, ( large cage) and just observing the interaction between them is very interesting. They definitely communicate, or talk, between themselves. You'll see them all getting along, then suddenly, one bird will "scold" another one, and it'll be pushed off his perch! One bird will try kissy face with another's friend, and there will be a kerfluffle! They seem to have conversations with each other, like, "oh boy! She's giving us some lettuce again! Let's go get some!" Or...there's a rank in the cage, if you put something new in the cage, one of them might speak in birdy talk, and say, "hey! Me first!" and push the others away.....They are so interesting and fun to watch! \nAnimals are very intelligent...so I'd say, they not just singing! Even canaries, who sing, probably communicate to each other in some way, if they are caged together..but they're  not quite as frisky!

Assuming that you're in the U.S. and you're talking about the Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos), the answer is yes. Both sexes sing. Males are more vocal and louder, but females sing and imitate too. Females are at their most vocal in the fall and sing rarely in spring and summer.

I think it depends on the type of bird you are talking about and also if the birds are wild or domestic or for that matter used to having humans around.\nLarge birds generally dont scare so easily, especially if they are used to humans. Like parrots for example.\nSome many times I have come across pigeons just crossing the road leisurely even though I'm driving towards it. And some of them dont even fly until I honk at them.\nThe tiny birds generally scare more easily. But when I traveled to London the sparrows actually fed from the palm of my hand. Whereas I have 2 finches at home and although they think they are humans, they just dont let me touch them! LOL! I love them alot!

Yes, the mosquitoes do make a noise but it does not come from the mouth or any part on its face. The mosquitoe makes this noise from the fast flapping of its wings, causing them to vibrate, that equals making the buzzing sound that you may hear around a fly.

Animals do speak, just not human speech.  Their vocal muscles are developed in a certain way to make their "language" possible.  Can you "talk" like a Bear?  Probably not. (I hope not ;-) \n\nAnimals "talk" to each other using sounds that may sound like noise/grunts to us.\n\nSome animals can be trained to make sounds to seem like human language.  The obvious is birds/parrots.  I have seen cats and dogs "talk" simple things like 'Hello', or even 'I love you'.

Huamns and the apes evolved from the same roots, but along different pathways.\n\nThe evolution of speech is based at least partly on social need. Small, tight knit groups of apes communicate with simple gestures and touches- that is all they need to pass info back and forth. As the group gets larger and more spread out, there is a need to be able to communicate different things in different ways. These apes get more and more vocal as the social structure gets more complex and spread-out.\n\nMost animals communicate perfectly well for their needs- within their species and with other species. Why would a species develop a need to communicate with us outside of 'get away', etc.- which they manage to communicate quite nicely now?

There is a saying that goes something like this--birds of a feather flock together.

Birds have ears, however they do not stick out like ours. Birds will die anywhere. If they all went somewhere special there would be an enormous pile of dead birds somewhere and I have not yet heard of "Dead Bird Mountain".

I think it is fair to say the jury is out.  While there have been for years unsubstantiated reports that a bird has been sighted here and there, last year there was film, and a substantial scientific claim that an ivory billed had been recorded vocally and in flight.  This received a lot of publicity.\n\nHowver, other scientists believe that what was recorded was not an ivory billed, but another woodpecker (with white on the top of the wing instead of the bottom).  The best course is to believe one side or the other, but hold open the possibility that the other side is right.

Many native american tribes believed that birds are from the spirit world.Perhaps a dead realitive was saying good morning or letting you know that they love you. I am sure it was good. How cocl was it?

There make very low frequency sounds that we cannot hear. They also make sounds that we do hear and it is because they what other animals to hear it.

Here's all I could find ... maybe it can get you started?\n\nWhite Stork - a silent bird - White Storks hardly ever give voice. In the world of birds it is an uncommon situation.  Stork’s lower larynx – birds’ vocal organ – is so retarded in development that it does not produce sounds.\n\nhttp://birds.poland.pl/didyou/article,White_Stork_a_silent_bird,id,95312.htm

While in dogs most of the communication they do would translate, there are some animals that definitely do show dialects in their calls.\n\nOrcas are the most obvious example.  Different pods have totally different repetoires of calls, whistles, grunts and clicks, and when a whale from a different pod is encountered, the new whale may be shunned or moved to the bottom of the pecking order until he learns the new dialect.
