'Uniquely human' component of language found in gregarious birds

are well aware of the cognitive abilities of many animals."

"These birds are a lot smarter than you might think," Margoliash said. "They have innate abilities. They solve interesting problems and learn difficult tasks. Any number of times during the experiments I said 'they can't possibly do that,' and they did."

"There has long been a temptation," writes cognitive neuroscientist Gary Marcus of New York University in a commentary, "to sum up the differences between human and other species in a neat turn of phrase ?but most posited differences turn out to have been overstated."

But these iridescent six-inch, three-ounce singing black birds have known this all their lives. They were only waiting for this moment to arise.
