RALEIGH, N.C.- A North Carolina woman who bought a cockatoo from a divorcing couple said the bird keeps reenacting its former owners' arguments.
Elaine Sigmon said she and her husband, Don, recently obtained Peaches the Moluccan cockatoo from a couple who separated and the former owners apparently weren't shy about having arguments in front of the bird.
Sigmon said Peaches reenacts her former owners' squabbles "once or twice a day."
SQUAAWWK .. tiny dick .. tiny dick .. SQUAAWWK !
Might be funny the first time.
After that it could lead to fried bird.
Wonder if the bird testified at the divorce. I also want to know how the new owners can deprogram him, I worry about his blood pressure.
Most hilarious bird mimic I’ve seen ever. Sad at the same time, though, but fortunately those impressions tend to diminish over time if the bird doesn’t hear the source again.
Fairly easily by surrounding him with different sounds.
That’s funny. I like the story about the English speaking parrot that disappeared, then showed up four years later speaking Spanish.
And the body language is priceless.
Damn
That’s the best part! Can’t make out what he’s saying but if this was scott peterson’s bird we would know where he buried the 4th wife.
This is a stool pigeon.
I once knew someone who raised birds and sold aviaries for a living. He had a Myna that talked prolifically. He used buy young parakeets and put them in the same room with it. Pretty soon they learned to speak from the Myna, and he could sell the talking parakeets for 3 to 4 times as much as he paid for non-talking parakeets.
That made me cringe...you could actually feel the hate. The bird needs to take an anger management class.
Can't understand a single word.
LOL, like this, from the cat’s diary:
“The bird must be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now ...”
When I was a child, my grandparents had a parakeet (?? I think), that talked some, and sometimes it would go into a little conversation that was clearly grousing between Grandma and Grandpa. Then Grandma would cover the cage.
The bird needs to teach an anger management class.
Drew Peterson. He’s the one with 4 wives. Scott Peterson just had Lacy.
My former mother in law had friends who owned an African Gray. Everytime the wife went past its cage it said “bend over Doris”
