FIgured it out!

Postby Chris&Akilah » Mon Apr 18, 2011 8:29 pm

Ah so it just dawned on me...
On recent occasions, Akilah has made this awful dischordant...noise, is best I can describe it. I was perusing the forum, thinking of parrots and their ways, and as I leaned back in my chair it hit me. He is imitating the squeak of my chair when I lean back, but increasing the volume and duration :lol: . Time to oil (chair not the bird).

This has me worried that my bird will start imitating the occasional squeak of my chair. :shock: As it is, he's doing his crazy mating call that's making me wish I were deaf.

African greys figure out what noise absolutely makes you bonkers and THAT's what they're determined to mimic :shock:

Scotty has confined himself to the noise of something being dropped... now it is hard to tell if he's really dropped something or not!

lol now that would be annoying. I hope Akila doesn't pick that one up! He does love to drop things and hear the clatter it makes.
