Thanks, Mike - your parrot speech research sounds fascinating! ;) =0D
=0D
Your comment reminded me of a post I made on Michio Kaku's Facebook page - =
why isn't there a naturerecordists Facebook page, or is there?=0D
=0D
Here is my post:=0D
=0D
 I'm working on something I call Dialogic Form. It shows how there is a ton=
al and rhythmic interdependency within human (and possibly animal) communic=
ation. Because I am a musician, I have noticed that there is a subtle and s=
ubconscious mimicry that takes place within dialogues, similar to how babie=
s learn how to speak. It goes something like this: If person X says 'Kaku h=
as a sexy brain!', person Y will utter at least one of the previously heard=
 phonics back into the dialogue; either a, 'ka' 'kou' 'ou' 'hhh' 'as' 'zzz'=
 'a' 'sss' 'xi' 'eee' 'ba' 'bra' 'rain' 'ain' 'ai', or 'nnn' - AND - not on=
ly mimic the tone or sound but also mimic the rhythm or beat of at least on=
e of those sounds. In a healthy conversation, person X will utter a sound a=
nd then person Y will, without fail (so it seems) also rally back that soun=
d when it's their turn to speak in the conversation. In this way the dialog=
ue evolves, with each person spinning off the other. This can be shown by (=
roughly) scoring a conversation to musical notation, graphically depicting =
how the conversation is structured; which phonics are common, how they are =
related, and how they develop in time. Revealing the Dialogic Form (or the =
relationship of conversational elements/structure) might also show how anim=
als communicate (a slurp of the tongue, the stomping of the paw, wave of a =
fin; body language/movements which mimic certain rhythms and patterns), and=
 how they might even communicate with us using this kind of mimicry. The ot=
her part to this is the frequency and rhythmic echo or ping of brainwaves -=
 slightly more difficult to graph (of course, each animal will communicate =
at their own unique tempo/volume; a hyper ant or hummingbird might 'speak' =
faster or more quiet than a lethargic whale). It would be important to figu=
re this out because, among other things, if we can't understand how we huma=
ns communicate with one another, not to mention how we might communicate wi=
th animals - how are we supposed to communicate with aliens; unless they sp=
eak English? It's a work in progress. =0D

I am quite convinced that animals are much more intelligent than human bein=
gs; in fact, I suspect that they use sound-telepathy to literally repeat, l=
ike a parrot does, not only the sounds pitches and rhythms that they hear a=
round them, or those that stand out, but also the actual brainwaves that th=
ey seem to be sensitive to. I know its a stretch - but I also suspect that =
even flies and other insects can do this; when was the last time you listen=
ed carefully to what a fly had to say - likely something it heard some one =
else say, and came to deliver the message to you; but were you listening? C=
razy, right - or is it? =0D
