tions cannot explain how birds have come to possess such a memo-
ry. (For detailed information, see the chapter headed “Talking Birds
Invalidate Evolutionary Claims”).
It’s not possible for a bird to set up a system for storing what it
has learned in its tiny brain. It’s similarly impossible for a special
structure to form in a bird’s brain by chance. Birds’ ability to recall
sounds and information is just one of the many talents God has
granted to these creatures.
Humans’ characteristic ability to imitate sounds is rarely found in ani-
mals, and only a very small number of animals are known to have this
feature: three groups of birds, parrots (
psittaciformes
), songbirds (
os-
cine passeriformes
) and hummingbirds (trochiliformes), and among
the mammals, bats, whales and dolphins (
cetaceans
)... All other
species are known to produce only their inborn, instinctive sounds.
