Not 'zactly.

I can talk to animals, hear them talk, but I can't control 'em.

I can ask or demand, though askin' gets better results, an' some decide to help out or listen.

I'm best with mammals, then birds, reptiles, fish, insects. Bugs are hard for me to hear or understand, but bees're organized. So they're a little more...uh, how'd you say...what they got is closer to thinkin' than most bugs. Hive mind, they gotta communicate with eachother more'n most.
