I'm quite willing to accept that they can use language and understand what they are doing. The use of language in the animal kingdom is surely a topic with its supporters and sceptics and I'd like to read much more about the topic before I commit either way. As a very superficial reaction to your above comment, I would ask - could this have been a learned response for a reward of some sort?
