Cool ! I had no ideas, but then I don't do a lot of brain research either. It is still pretty cool to me though.

A species that gives parrots competition when it comes to communication ability. The researchers found that these birds mix what they call 'meaningless' sounds to create different meanings but, personally, I think the sounds are not meaningless to the birds and that they are 'words' in their language.
