It would then join a wild flock and chatter away in the trees, its words being learned by younger birds in the flock. The older ones would be unlikely to start learning. When chicks are born, they hear the words being spoken by the older birds and grow up repeating the phrases. And so it continues, generation after generation.Mr. Robinson said that because of a drought in the western regions of New South Wales, flocks of wild bird “speakers” among them have been flying to Sydney, where more food is available, and have been hanging around suburban gardens.From the tree tops in gardens, from chimney pots and lamp posts, the flocks have been talking away, leaving many people wondering if their minds were playing tricks on them.“These birds are very smart and very social, meaning that communication and contact is important between them， ” said Mr. Robinson. “I just hope a pet bird thats been taught dirty words doesnt join a flock because we dont want to hear that kind of thing going around the back gardens.”1When people heard a flock of birds say “Hello there！” ， they felt _.Athere was something wrong with their mindsBthey had drunk some wineCthey were in a world of parrotsDthey heard people speaking2Flocks of wild bird “speakers” have been flying to Sydney because _.Athey are following some escaped pet parrotsBit is easy for them to find food in SydneyCthere are fewer birds left in New South WalesDthey are on their way of migration3Which of the following gives the correct order of events given in the passage?aPeople hear a bird in a tree say “Hello there！” bThe pet parrot escaped from its
