Talented Bird Can Speak Perfect Japanese and It’s Freaking Everyone Out

Hill Myna birds are known for the mimicry and can learn to reproduce everyday sounds extremely well — including the human voice.

This particular Hill Myna has gone viral after videos surfaced showing it speaking perfect Japanese to its owner.

For those who don’t understand Japanese, Redditors have graciously translated the videos for our viewing pleasure.

“Bird: ‘Uhm Hello, this is the Ono family.’
Bird: ‘What’s wrong?’
Owner: ‘Abe-chan, you’re a little too early. Once the phone’s picked up, then properly say hello.’
Bird: ‘Okay, understood.’
Owner: ‘Do you really understand? I’m counting on you. Hello, this is the Ono family residence in Gifu.’
Bird: ‘Okay, I understand!’
Owner: ‘Got it.’

前の動画の失敗テイク（ロングバージョン）です。（あべちゃんを反応させる電話を鳴らすため、携帯で電話をかけるオオノを見て、電話をかけるまねっこをしてしまっています）
この動画、飼い主の声が、あんまりにもアホすぎるにほどがあるのでアップするのを自粛しようかと思ったのですが、もうイマサラなのでアップしちゃいます。
ちゃんと話を聞いて返事をするあべちゃんに刮目です。”

“Bird : ‘Good morning.’
Owner : ‘Good morning.’
Bird : ‘A good boy’
Owner : ‘Yes, you a good boy’
Owner : ‘Abe-chan, stay a good boy while I’m out, can you?’
Bird : ‘Yes.’
Owner : ‘You can? Great’
Owner : ‘Please stay a good boy’
Bird : ‘Got it’
Owner : ‘You got it? Great’
Bird : ‘A good boy’
Owner : ‘A very good boy , Abe-chan.’
Owner : ‘Behave yourself while I’m out, will you?’
Bird : ‘Yes, Got it.’
