According to comments on reddit, the conversation roughly translates as follows:
Bird:” ‘Uhm Hello, this is the Ono family.”
Bird: “What’s wrong?”
Owner: “Abe-chan, you’re a little too early. Once the phone’s picked up, then properly say hello.”
Bird: “Okay, understood.”
Owner: “Do you really understand? I’m counting on you. Hello, this is the Ono family residence in Gifu.”
Bird: “Okay, I understand!”
Owner: “Got it.”

I've often wondered about this. How animals relate to different languages. Like learning commands or mimicking in the native tongue of whomever they belong to.
I've also wondered, if birds that are taught to speak, then are released to the wild again, would they continue to speak, or forget, having no need of it? Like would they try to converse with another of their species?
Or, if birds in the wild that hear and can mimic human voices, ever pick up certain words, or is it only domesticated/trained birds? Like how Mockingbirds mimic car alarms and such.
