圈养的灰鹦鹉Psittacus erithacus模仿异种声音的能力是众所周知的。对来自扎伊尔的录音的分析揭示了野生九种鸟类和一种蝙蝠的声音模仿的第一个证据。对来自加蓬和象牙海岸的录音的研究表明，声音模仿可能在野生种群中广泛存在。这种现象以前没有被发现的可能原因进行了讨论。
The ability of captive Grey Parrots Psittacus erithacus to imitate heterospecific sounds is well known. Analysis of a sound recording from Zaire reveals the first evidence of vocal mimicry in the wild of nine species of birds and a bat. Examination of recordings from Gabon and the Ivory Coast indicates that vocal mimicry may be widespread in wild populations. Possible reasons why this phenomenon has not been detected before are discussed.
