Too smart

[Julie]

Ok, Duch (my CAG) has been driving me crazy lately....

The french doors into the bird room/kitchen/living room had been squeaking. Finally I remembered over the weekend and got them all oiled up so no more squeaking from the door. Now I just have to listen to Duch squeaking every time you open the french doors, the cubbord doors, the sliding door, the refridge door (all of these are in the same room)!!! The problem is I cant get HER oiled, so how do I get her to stop!!!

Anyone else have a bird that has that one habit that drives you nuts (not looking for screaming stories, just need a chuckle this afternoon):)

Greys and their sound effects, LOL! When I go to my parents house its the same thing. Perri, their CAG has two squeaks for the little fridge - one for it opening and one for it closing. He also opens the cabinet and fills up a glass of water. Does the microwave and the coffee pot. His all-time favorite is to ring like the phone and answer it, complete with a one-sided conversation. They are too funny :p

When I worked in the local children's zoo barn we has a double yellow head amazon who would do the half a phone conversation every time it rang. He was in the kitchen near the desk. It is hard to keep a straight face when they are doing that & you are trying to listen to the other person on the other end of the phone line. One of the Greys out at the sanctuary meows like a cat now when you are working near by. This is a new sound for him & it fooled my son while we were cage cleaning.

ROFL! Ooooh, my senegal loves to squeak like a door whenever you close it, or open it... or go near it...

Too cute!

:haha: Michelle my sennie loves to make the door closed sound - especially when he knows we're leaving. Its more like "get out!" :eek:

When I first started hand feeding baby cockatiels, our orange wing amazon, PJ, picked up the "pop" sound the rubber stopper on the tip of the syringe makes when you pull the syringe apart. He still makes it constantly...even years later.

Sam, CAG, was famous for his dripping water sound effect. Two foster suns had been screechers and finally suitable contact call was found...beeping microwave. Sure beat the other sound.

My ekkie was one of the best talkers I have ever had. One day I was listening to him making this awful noise and it was done to music. I finally figured it out...he was humming like me (I was not blessed with a singing voice...trust me).

Cloud mimics my paper shredder. When I'm shredding and he starts, I'll give him a piece of junk mail and he shreds it and does all the right sound affects. He's my backup shredder should the power go out.

Chicken babbles a lot... Sometimes I'll catch words, but I think it's from us having our TV on in our bedroom with him in bed. I think he listens and then babbles because that is what he hears!

More mimics, I copied this to share-A mobile phone ringtone mimicking parrot!

A man has had to change his mobile phone ring tone five times, because his parrot keeps mimicking them.

Whenever Stuart McNae goes out of his room his cheeky pet 'Billy' starts aping the sound of a call and when his owner dashes back to answer the call, the birdie bursts out in fits of giggles.

Every time the poor 54-year-old man changes his ringtone, the playful blue-fronted Amazon learns it.

The bus firm worker has gone through the Nokia theme, Lou Bega's Mambo Number 5, the BBC Match of the Day tune, Soul Limbo by Booker T and the MGs and Bob Marley's No Woman No Cry.

"I now have the theme from A Fistful of Dollars. Won't be long before he's got that, too," The Sun quoted McNae, as saying.

"He waits for me to leave the room before he does it. I'll rush downstairs to find it's Billy," he added. (ANI)

We have 5 portable phones in our house. Each one has its own ring tone so that our birds can not possibly learn all of them at the same time......

[Patty, Linus and Co.]

Linus imitates the sound of the broom when I'm sweeping and he imitates the motion with his head. I have carpeting in my apt that I have to sweep before I can vacuum it (!). He'll be in his cage running his beak along the bottom of his cage going "shoosh, shoosh". Strangely, and he is strange, if he were outside of his cage when I was sweeping he would be screaming in terror as he has a weird fear of brooms. Inside the cage is cool though. Patty

Instead of a safety blanket, it is a safety cage... go figure

Chicken attacks the broom when I'm sweeping. LOL
He'll run down the cage, up behind me and grab the broom with his beak and I'll drag him around for a sec then he'll let go and run back up the cage. What a ham!
