Why are we so casual about the fact that parrots can literally talk

Maybe because they don’t possess a threat despite being relatevely intelligent(this fact relates more to bigger parrots).

Cause they can’t talk in the sense of being able to have a conversation and articulate their thoughts. All they do is mimic human sounds. All pets make certain sounds to convey when they want food and stuff, parrots just mimic the same sound humans make.
Gorillas, on the other hand, have been known to show humanize intelligence in communicating through sign language
