Would they understand what they'd be saying though? Psittacines and corvids are able to mimic words and can learn an impressive amount of words and even sentences. But they rarely actually understand what they're saying, although there are exceptions. But even then it usually concerns exceptionally intelligent specimens that were trained by their human handlers.

The Grimm are initially quite mindless, but grow more intelligent through exsperience and time. Its not impossible one could actually become intelligent enough to gain a, even if a basal one, understanding of human language, if it was given oppurtunity and time to do so.

It kind of reminds me of some adaptations of Watership Down. Some of the elil, weasels and cats especially, learn to speak broken Lupine in order to terrify their prey.
