talking

We always hear stories about incredibly cool but underappreciated things that animals do, but no matter how many such stories we read, we will always be caught off guard with something new. One of our favorite unique things that animals can do is speak. Videos of parrots speaking in different accents always, always make us laugh. 

But did you know that crows can speak? This twitter user clearly didn't, coming out to their garden one day and getting the spook of their lives when the crows literally greeted them with a hello. Surprisingly, crows are insanely smart animals, and talking is only one of the many interesting and intelligent things crows do. They're definitely underappreciated in the extreme, so read, laugh, and appreciate, everyone!

There are some pet products out there the purpose of which seems so inherently ridiculous that we simply have to get them. Pet products that are completely unnecessary but so fun to have. The best example that we can think of is "talking buttons" for training your dogs. Yes, we would all want our dogs to know what our dogs are thinking at all times, but do we really want it told to us every moment of every day? 

Well, these people learned the hard way that you really have to be careful with what you teach your pupper, or you'll end up being woken up to the repetitive sound of "cheeeeeese" in the middle of the night. Amazon reviews have so much potential for being hilarious, we love it. It reminds us of the Amazon nail trimming bag reviews that went viral on twitter. We couldn't stop laughing then, and we can't stop laughing now. 

Despite how common they are as pets, parrots are one of the most interesting animals that we've ever encountered. Parrots speak, parrots are jerks, parrots have zero sense of self preservation, and they show quite a bit of affection for an animal that you wouldn't think would do that. We love parrots, but that doesn't stop us from being amazed by them, and twitter, over the weekend, has experienced that exact amazement. 

Because not only do parrots talk, they talk in different accents. And parrots are not the only bird who speaks, some crows speak as well, and sometimes, one bird will try to imitate another bird. Birds are not only hilarious but they are absolutely amazing as well, and you're about to see just why that is.

Food. We take pictures of it and upload them for all to see. What for? It's not like we'll revisit those images. Or maybe some do. However, we as humans always share with one another what we had to eat that day, and what we plan to eat later that day. We simply can't help talking about food! Why? Because food is amazing. Cats understand, cats absolutely love to eat. We understand that because a majority of us humans also love to eat. But cats really love to eat. 

If cats could share their most recently consumed meal with one another, how would that look? What would they say? Thanks to Israeli artist, Ilana Zeffren, we have the answer to these tantalizing questions below.

Question to all pet owners out there: have you ever desperately wanted to understand what your pet is saying when they're talking to you? If your answer is yes, moderngargoyle on tumblr is about to explain why that's a really, really bad idea. 

This poor tumblr user has made the mistake of giving their dog buttons with recorded words to press on whenever it wants something, and it turns out... that the dog really liked food. Shocker. And though it may have been somewhat disappointing to moderngargoyle, not having gotten precisely what they wanted, for us, their mental breakdown over being woken up a million times in the middle of the night by the dog asking for food is heckin' hilarious. 

Let's be real - we all talk to our pets. And yes, we totally believe that they understand us. We tell them everything from our daily struggles and achievements to how cute they are and how smart they are and how beautiful and gorgeous and chonky and oh my goodness you're such a good puppy- anyway. 

It's totally normal to talk to your pets, don't even worry about it. And twitter is here to prove just that. After a tweet telling the story of someone talking to their pet went viral, other twitter users chimed in and started sharking funny stories of them talking to their pets as well. So, don't worry, you're not alone in talking to your pets. 

Uh-oh! Lincolnshire Wildlife Park had to separate five foul-mouthed parrots after they learned some colorful language and began to egg each other on to be offensive in from of visitors. 

The five parrots in trouble are named Billy, Eric, Tyson, Jade, and Elsie. Actually, the five sound like a pretty cool crew. Too cool for us to join though, however. All five parrots joined the Lincolnshire Wildlife Centre of 200 grey parrots back in August. CEO of the wildlife park, Steve Nichols told PA, "We saw it very quickly; we are quite used to parrots swearing but we've never had five at the same time. Most parrots clam up outside, but for some reason, these five relish it."

The swearing parrots have been separated into different locations of the park so they wouldn't encourage each other and set one another off. 

Steve Nichols also mentions that no one has actually complained about the swearing parrots, but many the decision to be cautious and wary of their young visitors.

This year has been many things but we like to focus on the good. And the good is that there's a bunch of new 'They Can Talk' Comics by the hilarious and talented Jimmy Craig! 

It's no secret that Jimmy's comics are one of our all-time favs, they're just so clever, creative, and actually make us feel like if animals were to talk, this is pretty much what they would be saying. 

After you're finished digesting this comical bunch of comics, we've got even more treats for you to enjoy! 

You can follow 'They Can Talk' comics on Facebook and Instagram! 

Do you know what they are really saying?

"They can talk" is one of our favorite comic strips. 

It basically tries to imagine what animal conversations would sound like if they could talk. 

The creator behind the famous internet sensation, "They can talk", is Jimmy Craig and he's really good at expressing the inner thoughts of creatures living in the animal kingdom.
