No expert I.
But I once had dinner at the home of a wealthy gentleman who had a mynah bird in an aviary/greenhouse area adjacent to his dining room. You could not see the area from the dining room and vice versa.
There were two ladies and the gentleman-host at the meal. When the ladies first spoke, the mynah whistled and said "Elmer! You old dog." Our host told us the bird always noted the presence of women at dinner!
Further he noted that if there were men's voices only at the meal, the bird would scream "Where are the ladies. Elmer?"
So there you go for what it's worth.
