Are birds trying to tell us things?

`Ryan Reynolds is a psittalinguist — a person who interprets budgie-speak.

Since 1999, he has invested thousands of hours slowing down and deconstructing recordings of his beloved budgie, Victor, who died five years ago at the young age of 3, as well as other talking budgies.

Victor had a vocabulary of 1,000 words, which he used in context, Reynolds says. [..]

“This is going to sound crazy, but they talk about spiritual things: God, the afterlife, a better world for them,” Reynolds says.’
