Once, when Maxie was young and trying to imitate opera singers {his favorite was Domingo}, we were away and he apparently set off our burglar alarm,,it had a dealie for breaking glass and high pitched sounds set it off. Max just loved to do that.
The cops came, the alarm people told them there was motion in the kitchen. They broke the door and three went in armed to the teeth. The bird yelled out "hello, hello" and almost got filled with lead. Scared the cops to death.
