[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 94447, member: 179"] I could give a list of the various sounds the imitate. And, once they get on a role...all 3 join in. ANY squeaking in the house. We've WD40'd every door, the dishwasher, every window. Any cell phone noise, such as the alert you get from a text message. The sound our frig makes when it fills the ice maker. Any normal conversation you have on the phoone. The lifting of our shutters. The house alarm...which is VERY loud. [img]:surprise:[/img] The fire alarm at my school. Any ring tone you couldl possibly think of. Sneezing. Coughing. Flatulance. [img]:smile:[/img] Door closing/opening sounds. Airplanes that fly overhead. Firetrucks. Construction equipment. That was the worst because in Vegas they start work at about 4am because of the heat. We lived in a brand new development. So, about 4am every morning we heard...beep, beep, beep, as the big equipment backed up. The list could go on and on. Don't get me wrong, they can be amazingly entertaining, but now that I'm home all day...they're driving me NUTS. And, they live for 80 years. My kids fight over who will not be in our will to take the birds. They don't fly because their wings are clipped, but are masters at getting down when we're not looking. I can't tell you how many times I've spent an hour trying to find a missing bird. We try to keep every house door closed so it limits their excursions. The last one was yesterday when one got down and went into our recording studio and chewed up a good dozen albums. Probably the best story is when we had some people over for a dinner party. We're all sitting on the sofas and from behind us we heard VERY loudly, "Shut the f* up!!! You stupid As*. Get your as* up!!" It was a tad embarrassing. [img]:smile:[/img] THey are very smart, indeed. Abbey [/QUOTE]
