Funny as your post is some tropical birds like parrots can imitate things they've recently heard. My friend lets his parrot watch TV because then the bird isn't squawking so damn much and funnily enough imitates some sounds on TV.

There's a bird that lives somewhere close to my house that does the clicking Predator noise...

Damn creepy first few times you hear it... [:sick:]

Predator as in from the Aliens franchise kind of predator?....yeah that would sound kind of freaky


just don't let the bird get ahold of a nuclear wristwatch.

My friend had a bird for years that finally died of old age complications. It was a Myna, and would have fascinating things to say. It's vocabulary was unlike anything I've ever heard of. If it didn't know you were near, you could hear it talking to itself in first, second and third person. Very odd bird!

My uncle had a crow when he was a kid...in the 1950s... that had a special cut made in its tongue that allowed it to speak... but I don't remember what he told me about how extensive its' vocabulary was. I think it was killed in an accident because he tried to carry it around the neighborhood on his shoulder.

Crows are smarter than people think, most don't know that so they simply relate them to being bad omens along with them being icons of horror films and the occult.

"Special cut"?!

Aside from mutilating a bird that (as a species) is already capable of mimicking human speech, the only thing cutting a crow's tongue is going to get you is a visit from the SPCA...
