Another Kind of Mind: A Talking Bird Masters English by Michael S. Dalton - Arielle is a 15-year-old Blue & Gold Macaw who expresses herself spontaneously using more than 4,000 English words, phrases, and sentences. She has the ability to communicate across species using human speech when she wishes to do so. Those who know Arielle and listen carefully to recordings of her voluntarily spoken private monologues discover that her speech reveals her thoughts. Many of her statements provide concrete examples that one talking bird can learn to communicate ideas through human language. This book provides details about how Arielle can construct a monologue or dialogue about a topic; reveal her sensory impressions about the environment; substitute nouns and personal pronouns correctly; rhyme, express emotion, and construct verbal jokes; apply logic in her speech and speak using proper syntax; and organize thoughts using phrases and sequences of statements. Written from a linguistic point of view, this book guides readers toward understanding Arielle's English words, phrases, and sentences, as her expressions provide insight into her mind, personality, and thoughts. Her meaningful speech communicates something never before evident from utterances made by a bird: Arielle is a conscious being.
