Parrots don't have vocal chords.

    Many species of parrot can imitate sounds, including human speech. They have no vocal cords and the sounds are instead produced by expelling air across the mouth of the bifurcated trachea. By changing the depth and shape of the trachea, the parrot can accomplish different sounds.
