Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in.

Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years.

Yachtold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program.

Little kids say the most nonsensical things, like my son at the aquarium when he was two or three.

They say blue-blue. I think that one and different, I say blue-blue.

Even sweeter are the sounds they make when they're just beginning to explore their

appear in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Biological Sciences.

When baby humans are babbling, they're kind of stringing a bunch of sounds together in sort of unintelligible ways.

There's no identifiable context.

Carl Berg is an associate professor of biology at the University of Texas, Rio Grande Valley.

He says parrot babble is really very similar.

Gibberish is a good descriptor.

They're kind of mixing everything together and just seems like they're regurgitating everything they've ever heard before.

Berg and his colleagues have been studying a species of parrot called the Green Rumped Parrotlid in Venezuela.

We've been intensively monitoring the population.

We're in our 35th consecutive year.

The researchers positioned video cameras inside the bird's nests, but it took

them a while to notice the baby parrots running through their vocal warm-ups. We initially
