Hmmmm. I like the way we are designed.
Just do like your mommi told you and not talk with your bloody mouth full. And you wont choke.
Oh, and P.S.
If you are daft enough to choke to death while eating and talking, then that would be one more idiot selected out of the breeding population.

Hi Caffeine, some folks say , "Parrots do not really talk, just mimic human speech."
I have as pets, both a African Grey and a Yellow head Amazon . They do talk and know what it is they are saying.
They sometime get things mixed when they associate a action with a word.
For instance when I lose my keys and am in a hurry, (which must happen alot), I rummage around the house looking.
My Grey responds to this by saying, "Fucking shit!!!"
I wonder where he gets it from?

Hi NoNukes,
I'm not sure that even matters. The point is that the physical apparatus that birds have works fine, so we can eliminate some of the human eating apparatus as being required for speech.
While we are at it can we remove the capsaicin receptors from our anus. I feel that if it was part of a divine design it was in poor taste. *pun intended.*
I mean, I understand why they would be on our mouths, eyes and tounge, but to line our anus with them is just cruel.
Shrimp diablos anyone?

I have two very articulate birds. They know exactley what they are saying. They very clearly say "Goodmorning" In the morning.
They say good bye. when I am leaving the house.
They say good night when I am turning the lights off at night.
Not only does my grey say the apropriate words, he says it in my own voice.
I have never heard them say good morning, when it was night.
I have never heard them say good night, when it was morning.
I can attest to the fact that they not only can speak quite clearly,
they know what they are saying. So far as to say the speak the appropriate words at the appropriate time.
