I don't know if anyone saw this on some program about funny pets but there's this one video of a parrot mimicing about 20 different sounds ... funniest thing I've seen in months ... includes everything from a phone ringing to a space ship sound ...

If only Clinton had a parrot. Of course, he would have ended up as an entree before we ever got to hear anything.

A woman went to a pet shop and immediately spotted a large, beautiful parrot. There was a sign on the cage that said $50.00.
"Why so little?", she asked the pet store owner.
The owner looked at her and said, "Look, I should tell you first that this bird used to live in a house of prostitution, and sometimes it says some pretty vulgar stuff."
The woman thought about this, but decided she had to have the bird anyway. She took it home and hung the bird's cage up in her living room and waited for it to say something. The bird looked around the room, then at her, and said, "New house, new madam."
The woman was a bit shocked at the implication, but then thought "that's really not so bad."
When her two teenage daughters returned from school the bird saw and said, "New house, new madam, new girls." The girls and the woman were a bit offended but then began to laugh about the situation considering how and where the parrot had been raised. Moments later, the woman's husband Keith came home from work.
The bird looked at him and said, "Hi, Keith."

To anyone who longs for a parrot that 'talks'. You may get what you want, morning to night nonstop chatter. I very rarely curse... but if I did the stupid bird would repeat it. Repetition on my part isn't necessary, if the creature hears something once and likes it, you'll hear it forever. I completely believe this story.

The Canary
So, Atilla the wife and I owned a canary. It sat on a perch in a cage. It was well taken care of, with people talking to it all the time.
My contribution was: whenever I came near the bird, I would point above its head at the wall and say "SPIDER". After about 6 months, all I had to do was say "SPIDER" and the canary would look over its head.
One day, I walked up to the canary and said "SPIDER", the bird looked over its wing at the wall, and I noticed that Atilla the wife also looked up to the wall automatically.
Conducting more experiments, all the kids were breaking their necks to look at the wall, whenever I said "SPIDER".
I realized that they didn't notice that they were doing what the bird was doing. When I confronted them, they all denied it.
So I set up a video camera, and sure enough, the video proved they were well trained.
