I can hear a little puppy barking!!!!

[mustangbee]

Ok I'm sitting here at my computer reading our threads, and I here barking.
I know it's not Princess, because she's on my lap. So I go looking for this poor little puppy who won't stop barking. OMG!!!! It's Hellen, my son's African Grey Parrot!!!!!! That's all I need! I knew she could talk, she says a lot. But now she has a bark too!!!!! Her bark is the same as Princess's, I can tell this is going to be a long day!

OMG!!! that is toooo funny!!!! Boy you are in for a long day and every day...

That is so funny. My sister has one too. It can sound like her cat, dog, ambulance, door bell etc... But the funniest thing I heard it say was when her boyfriend was leaving the house- my sister said to him, " see you later," and just when he was stepping thru the door, the African Gray parrot said, " And don't come back".

Now we cracked up laughing because she apparently has said this under her breath when he leaves sometimes, but he wasn't too happy about it.

So beware, you never know what sound they will make!

LOL that is too funny!
I think Hellen has watched too many football games with my son, because she says Touchdown a lot! I didn't even think about they can learn how to bark. Maxie is only a baby, she can only say hello & step up. But if she starts in too, It will be time to move them both in my sons room! LOL
Forget about a long day, this could be a long year!!!!

That is hilarious! Now if the dog doesnt disrupt the neighbors maybe the parrot will!

[mylittletigger]

oh my goodness! well african greys are supposed to be one of the smartest birds, so it doesn't surprise me. but that's hilarious. hopefully your neighbors don't mind the new dog, I mean bird sounds. lol

That is so funny! I have a Blue Crown Conure who talks up a storm. He also barks like Snoodles, but the worst thing he does is cry and whine like her. Naturally I come running in the front room and then he laughs like crazy! They are really something!

I have a conure also that talks -- and makes sounds. It says about 15 different things and makes barking and baby crying sounds.... Its never quiet over here!!

[lnovack]

Oh, we had an African Grey and still to have a macaw. They both talk, one even says bad words... Sampson and Gracie are scared to death of the macaw.

Great! What kind do you have? I also have a Green Cheek Conure, but he doesn't talk. My BCC sings and dances. Love to sing :I Love Pat" Also sings Oh My Darling, Pat (instead of Clemintine) And sings opera! Kind of like La, La, La ,La, La, etc. Arn't they a kick? He is a great talker! And like you, it is never quiet around here! Ha!
Inovack! You are brave! Macaws are really awesome birds, but they have HUGH beaks and scare me. I would imigine they could take a finger off if they got mad! African Greys are really the best talkers, but I hear they are also the most feather pickers and sulk a lot, true?

My friend Andrew have one that can do the sound of door bell , you should see Heidi when she hear it . She run from the living room to the door . Poor little one , she never figured out , it was the parrot .

[twnty_yrs_later]

[Bentley&BitsysMom]

I had no idea birds could mimic animal sounds!!! If he were here he'd be chanting, "NO NO BAD DOG"

That's hilarious, I had visions of a poor puppy under the house.
