What are the mechanics of how they produce voice like sound when they do not have vocal chords?
Answers:
How birds make sounds is still the subject of many studies. We use vibrations of our vocal cords to vocalize and our tongue and lips to form words. A human's vocal cords are located in the larynx. Birds also have a larynx, but avian speech is not made in the same way. Birds also have a structure in their throats called a syrinx, which is thought to be the source of the sounds they make. The syrinx has a pair of structures called medial tympaniform membranes, which produce a flow of air in the throat that results in sounds. It is also thought that a bird's unique respiratory structure, including multiple air sacs, has a function in causing the vibrations of the tympaniform membranes and thus, sound and speech.
They listen to your vocals and imitate exactly what they've just heard or they imitate it
Obviously, they do have vocal chords. Otherwise, they could make no noise other than to whistle. Birds mimick what they hear. They have no concept of human speech.
they OPEN THIER BEAKS AND SQUAWK duh!
They have a voice box pretty much with the same kind of vocal chords humans have except smaller. That is why it sounds like they are in a box or on a recorder when they talk.
They're pretty cool birds!
they have a sypherinex (I cant spell it right) in their throat instead of vocal chords
scientists arent exactly sure how it works but either way it is impressive
