We probably don’t know since knowing that requires a lot of soft tissue determine and I don’t think it being related to parrots who all can determines that due to the ammount of time. So unless I’m mistaken we probably don’t know.
Heracles, as a human in Greek mythology, had the anatomy to speak normally. A toddler-sized parrot capable of talking would definitely be unsettling, since its size combined with speech would make it more intimidating than the typical smaller parrots we're used to!
Fun fact, parrots (order Psittaciformes) originated exclusively from Oceania, which is why they are currently split into eight extant families under three superfamilies The new zealand parrots (superfamily Strigopoidea) are the most basal of the three parrot superfamilies and are split into two extant families: Nestoridae (Kakas and Kea) and Strigopidae (Kakapo and Kakarikis) The cockatoos (superfamily Cacatuoidea) are split into two extant families: Nymphicidae (Cockatiel and Fossil Relatives) and Cacatuidae (True Cockatoos) And the true parrots (superfamily Psittacoidea) are split into four extant families with the most basal extant family being Pezoporidae (Typical Oceanian Parrots), then followed by Psittaculidae (Asiatic Parrots), leaving the most recent split to be between the families Psittacidae (African Parrots) and Aridae (New World Parrots) Parrots originated exclusively from Oceania, which is why the new zealand parrots (superfamily Strigopoidea) are the most basal parrot superfamily, why cockatoos (superfamily Cacatuoidea) are primarily native to Oceania, and why the family Pezoporidae that contains all parrots other than cockatoos and new zealand parrots native to Oceania is the most basal of the four extant families of true parrots (superfamily Psittacoidea)
And singing birds may have started in the Antipodes as well. One assumes that there was little fraternising between the families as our (Australian) parrots are *definitely not* song birds.

Have you heard of Haasts eagle? Another extinct bird from Aotearoa (New Zealand). It was known to take toddlers. It had a wingspan of up to 3m, length of up to 1.4m and stood up to 90cm. Cool ay!
a giant silly looking parrot would be hug material but you remember that touching parrots anywhere else outside their scalp makes them wanna have _fun_ 😭
I have scars from my 250g Cuban Amazon (who is an adorable baby, but also a vicious dinosaur), who is named after the famous kakapo, Sirocco. This terrifies me.😅
🧐 That look though, when you realize, that UA-cam knows you so well, that it has you trained to indulge your secret love of dinosaurs 🦕 ‘specifically’ on Sunday mornings! 👀😆
This is the first time I watched this channel and it was so interesting I subscribed. In particular, is the theory that the smaller kakapo replaced the larger Heracles as climatic conditions caused a retreat of their nourishing flora. Skimming your videos you refer to gigantism often. Do any discuss and credit Cope's rule?
My favourite dinosaur is Yutyrranus, the feathered tyrant. Wouldn't it be SICK if feathered tyrranids had so much plumage they looked like giant chicks...or Big Bird?

I think it’s possible they coexisted quite comfortably together, not unlike the way creatures exist today, if we look at deer, birds, and species can coexist without too much bother. Unfortunately, Humans seem to be the primary species that isn’t willing to play nice and share land, food, etc. 😒

Human: Polly wants a cracker?
Giant Parrot: Polly wants a cracker NOW ...
Polly demands a cracker
More like the parrot from Scary Movie 2.
Polly says _screw the cracker_ I want _Hamburger_ !
More like, Polly wants raw steak - you might do if you don't give me any.
Crack her? I hardly knew her…
Did Heracles had the necessary anatomy to speak? A parrot the size of a toddler and able to talk would've been a bit frightening
All parrots have a complex syrinx, though kakapos don't mimic speech
It would be hilarious to have one as a pet. You could train it to do menial tasks while mumbling to itself. Quite Whimsical.

I had never heard of this extinct parrot before, so thank you for this video.
I love his video, i don't know if he is a paleontologist or a biologist but thank for your videos
Works as a Teecha. 🙂
Can you imagine the cuddles!?
At that size, it could bite off your hand or arm. So cuddling seems out of the question.
@@whitewolf3051 Do you know how hard extant parrots can bite?
New Zealand had some really cool animals before Polynesians showed up like the Moa and the Haast eagle :(
A toddler? This bird was as big as a damn eagle! Now imagine if Heracles COULD fly. That’d be dope.

Huh?! 😵💫

How cute is the host😍
Oh stop it you 🙃

ha - rather a giant Kakapo than a giant Kea!
A very impressive parrot, even if it were brown and green, I suppose it might've been slightly more colourful given it's size.
Bright pink. :D

❤ my favorite dinosaur is the Parasauralophus.
What did it sound like? As I'm sure it trumpeted somehow
Thank you ❤

Not trying to be mean, but it's yutyrannus.

Was it theorized to be like the kakapo because of bone density or structure, is there no chance it was more like a giant kea parrot

U can be so nice show it in class 😂😂
Cockatoos aren't parrots?
Cockatoos are parrots, parrots are defined by the order Psittaciformes as a whole.
@@indyreno2933 I asked that, because Ryan said on the video "parrots and cockatoos". As if those two were separate.

Many species are aggressive, we are just the only ones strong enough to threaten others so much.
yeah, animals often adapt to each other's presence, so there are interaction and competion too

Do I care as much for something you'd typically expect? No. We all know every existing clade today a giant form from the past.
