A European starling named Jabber has gained attention for its perfect imitation of the Star Wars droid R2-D2. Known for their exceptional mimicry skills, European starlings can replicate various sounds, including animal noises and human speech. Jabber’s owner, likely a Star Wars fan, has exposed the bird to R2-D2’s sounds, resulting in impressively accurate vocal impressions. This species of bird is highly vocal, with males typically having a larger repertoire of songs. Jabber’s performances have made him a celebrity in certain online communities.
