Animals have a good sense of this stuff. Such as dogs barking / hiding before earthquakes, my fish also behave erratically before an Earthquake happens. I've also got a few birds, when were sick they give us a lot of attention.
It's being slightly thrown out of proportion, but really they can sense when things are going on, and react. As for saying "Momma / Baby" it may as well have said "Pretty bird / red door", while some birds have the potential to understand language to a small degree (African Grey parrots for example) the truth is it was just reacting to something happening.
About the African Grey's.. There is one that has a vocabulary of a 6 year old, and can tell us basic things like when he's hungry / tired / thirsty. He can respond to answers and mean what he's saying, not just saying "yes" or "no". They've got a team of people working on this bird.. It's probably a $1 million project for whoever is funding.
