So birds are basically just tiny descendants of dinosaurs, right? Parrots, corvids, and a few others are capable of mimicry… were there any dinos that shared that trait?
Dude from Jurassic Park: “Clever girl…”
Raptor: “CLEVER GIRL! raptor bark sound thing CLEVER GIRL!” eats his face
bear in mind that birds are a specific branch of dinosaurs, closest related to stuff like velociraptor.
so it’s a pretty good bet that raptors would make bird-like noises (though probably less complex and lower pitched), but doubtful that a stegosaurus would sound anything like a bird.

I think i read somewhere that velociraptors were about as smart as a dog. Convergent evolution, because both are group-hunting predators.
So are dolphins (group hunting predators). Pretty sure they rank a lot higher than a dog on the intelligence scale.
But they rank lower on the good boy scale so it evens out
Annihilation flashbacks…

Idk man there are some birds that don’t even sound like birds.
Imagine a dinosaur sized shoebill snapping it’s beak.
You mean like Terror Birds?
If only! Imagine a gigantic stegosaurus or triceratops tweeting away sweetly like a song bird.
