This starling's mimicry is incredible 🤯

Imagine sitting under a tree and suddenly hearing what sounds like a flock of R2D2's overhead.

[TheLastArbiter]

That R2-D2 noise was scary accurate and sounded technical

[DaveYognaut]

the fact that the bird didn't fully mimic the whistle but still stayed in key and with a fitting rhythm is amazing

[valerieconner]

What a talented bird! Not only does he duplicate the words, but it even sounds like her voice. And the R2D2 -- FANTASTIC!

[kristiaunalee]

Growing up, we had a pet starling. She mimicked the AOL dial up sounds, rang like the phone, answered it and carried on her own conversation like she was talking on the phone.

[crabcake]

Sounds like the bird had a mf playback recorder in his throat. That’s incredible

[trogo]

WOAH! I understand that they have very unique vocal apparatus in order to mimic other birds calls - but the R2D2 beeps and whistles - dropped my jaw. So sweet and so cool ... birdy wanted to show that off.

This proves that birds are the most amazing animals on this planet

[accurrent]

Starlings arrange themselves in MASSIVE flocks… imagine they all just say “who’s my precious Jabby bird?” in an uncanny human voice

[that_one_goose]

We can agree it would be terrifying to just be walking in the forest one day and you hear, "I'm gonna give him a kiss"

[gglife]

Wow so wholesome seeing the Starling teach his owner how to talk

[Donnaeckerson]

I had no idea a starling could talk! This is awesome! You learn something new every day!

[blueblade]

I still can't comprehend how a bird can accurately pronounce words and mimic sound effects so perfectly without having any lips. Mind still blown till this day!

[theebikeguy]

It was nice of that bird to teach that lady how to talk

[mypianoparlour]

So nice that you're teaching your precious birdie to sing the Queen of the Night's aria. Great tribute to Mozart, who owned a starling and loved birds as well 🐦💗

[gussetblaster]

This is just absolutely mind blowing!
The R2D2 mimic is like something straight out of a high-end electronic synthesizer! Incredible!

[hoozukigetsu]

It's amazing how this skilled bird is able to teach this human to mimic it. Absolutely brilliant.

[uggamugga]

It's amazing that the bird reproduced just part of the whistled melody and finished it in a way that makes musical sense.

[traicyarciniega]

Oh my god, very talented! It's an honor to have seen this.
