When I walk with my macaw, we often hear different birds here. We have chic=
kadees too; I learned to recognize their call without any aids. Many times =
we hear birds calling and their calls seem to correspond with phrases in En=
glish. One example might be the duo of calls common of the Cardinal.
In studying speech by parrots it is often useful to have a tool to remember=
what the word sounded like. One simple example is "Eric," which I wondered=
about for many months, until it dawned on me that my macaw was saying, "Eg=
ret." Eric is what I call a sononym for the correct statement. I'm happy to=
learn that bird enthusiasts use a similar technique. I hope you will adopt=
the word "sononym" to describe the process.
