Vocal learning in Grey parrots: A brief review of perception, production, and cross-species comparisons

Irene M Pepperberg. Brain Lang. 2010 Oct.

Abstract

This chapter briefly reviews what is known-and what remains to be understood-about Grey parrot vocal learning. I review Greys' physical capacities-issues of auditory perception and production-then discuss how these capacities are used in vocal learning and can be recruited for referential communication with humans. I discuss cross-species comparisons where applicable and conclude with a description of recent research that integrates issues of reference, production and perception.
