Talking Bird

I had a couple of friends that had talking birds. One was a budgie that used to say "Pretty Joey". The other was a cockatiel who used to look in the mirror, dance, and sing songs

My sister had a male Solomon Islands Eclectus (sp?) that talked and sounded like a demented elderly British lady straight out of a Monty Python skit. Where he got the English accent,, nobody knows.
One time she had both the male and his mate (who wasn't much of a talker) in a travel case at the airport. They were separated by a barrier in the case, but the female (who was a terror and always had him in complete trembling submission) apparently was whispering not-so-sweet little nothings in his ear about what she was going to do to him when they got out of the case.
As we walk through the airport to her gate, bloodcurdling shrieks (and a feather or two) emit from the case...."NOOOOOO!!!! NO BITE QUIPO!!!!! HELP! HELP! HELLLLLLLP!!!" with an occasional "I LOVE YOU!" and "QUIPO'S A PRETTY BOY!" thrown in for comic relief.
People were looking around, expecting to find a serious case of abuse of the elderly, but there was nothing to see but a couple of embarrassed middle-aged ladies lugging a dog carrier.
Thankfully, they settled down and were quiet on the plane. I did almost expect the police waiting at the other end, though....LOL.
