No, I probably would have nightmares! Sounds like you enjoy it tho. Did you teach them to talk? I always wondered how one went about teaching a parrot to talk.

They kind of pick up things to say that sound interesting to them, like little kids do. Charlie, an African Grey parrot makes all sorts of bodily function noises (mainly taught to them by my nieces who think belching is hilarious). Another Grey parrot, Cotton decided she liked all the awful John Kerry ads (yes they watch TV sometimes). She constantly asks "Wheres John Kerry?" I have all sorts of interesting snswers for her LOL

I taught a macaw to say "damn it!" in less than a week.
