I was so amazed when I first started hearing stories from bird owners about all the clever tricks their birds were playing on them by mimicking not only the exact voices of particular people but the sounds of machines as well. I can see where it would get old fast if you kept picking up a phone and hearing a dial tone or opening the front door and seeing no one there, just because your bird enjoyed making the sound of your phone or your door bell. I’m sure the parrot also enjoys watching you dash about answering these signals when no one was ever phoning in or standing on your doorstep.

But talking like humans in exactly the correct voices they are copying deserves to be admired, especially when they are actually saying things that are fitting for the current moment and not just random phrases. I know many bird people are convinced birds really can talk and not just “parrot” words. I have seen this enough to know that some birds surely can do that.

The best pet bird song I recall was in a western boot store here in town where the owner’s pet  myna bird could sing “Blueberry Hill” quite clearly and on key. I never heard that bird say anything else however so it might have been a one trick pony.

The pewter parrot name badge would be an exceptionally unique gift idea for your favorite veterinary professional especially one who cares for exotics.

 

This big group of pewter one animal tags was bound to have a pet paw heart in a pewter name badge, of course!
