Parrots give their young a unique sound that functions as a personal name. This “identification call” is created by the parents and helps each bird develop its own identity within the flock.
The sound is learned from a very young age and is used throughout the parrot's life as a form of communication and identification. This unique behavior has been observed in several species of parrots and confirms the high level of intelligence and social sophistication that these birds possess.
Researchers consider this a similar form to naming in humans, noting that even in the animal world there are unique ways of sharing personal identity.
