Sparky had never previously uttered any fowl language

Years ago I went into a pet shop that was housed in a very old Victorian house, very large, lots of rooms. I couldn't find any humans to help me and was waiting around for some help when I heard this "voice" that sounded like a deep-voiced radio announcer. The "voice" said, "Hello. My name is George. Do you want me to hurt you?" Then the voice started singing Happy Birthday in a very slow, deep, dark and scary manner.

Needless to say, I froze and looked around to see where the voice was coming from, but no one was there. Just as I was about to make a fast exit, a man came down the stairs. I said "were you just singing Happy Birthday?" "No," he laughed. "That was George;" he pointed to a small black mynah bird. Then he told me that George has about eight "voices". LOL!

It was a six year-old green-wing macaw, probably hand-raised. What do those run?
