I can't remember anyone arguing that parrots should be set free because they can imitate human speech. [queue up Lynard Skynard's "Free Bird" here] In fact, if anything, the ability to talk would be a reason to keep a bird rather than to free it.
But it is obligatory for scientific materialists like Coyne to take note of any instance in which an animal does anything remotely like a human, however unenlightening and uninformative it might be, since they think it bolsters atheist dogma that humans are not essentially different from brute animals.

Ah yes - it's the raligious way!
Don't bother engaging with the evidence - just 'repeat after whatever your told to believe'.
Critical thinking 101.
So after saying that repeating speech is not a sign of intelligence, you are asking people to repeat what you said. Can't tell if trolling...

Do I have to put a label on my ironic humor?
Martin is never funny for the reasons he thinks he is.

That's hysterical! Oh, wait. Were you trying to be funny?
