Parrots
It's kind of neat that there are "talking" birds in the world. Some species can mimic any sound they hear... so why is it that everybody who gets a parrot teaches it the same damn phrases?
hello
who's a pretty boy
and polly want a cracker
If I had a parot, I'd have some fun with it. First off, I'd start by teaching it "Holy crap! A talking bird!"
Then I'd teach it these phrases:
Braaaaaaaaaaaaains!
I think I have avian flu cough cough.
I don't actually speak. I have just learned to mimic sounds in my environment. Including this explanatory sentence.
And finally, I'd teach it the Star Trek fight music.
That would be the coolest bird in the universe.
P.S. Spell check doesn't really know what to do with "Braaaaaaaaaaaaains!". It thinks that perhaps I'd like to teach my parrot to say "Bavarians!" Come to think of it, I would!
