238.0. "Parrot Puppy Noises, Anyone?" by VAXUUM::COMPTON () Thu Aug 10 1989 21:36

    My Amazon orange-wing was a captive in a small cage in a local
    well-known pet store chain for many months.  Having nothing better to
    do, he/she picked up an amazing variety of puppy noises.  Any one
    else have the experience of having a bird with a repertoire of barks,
    whines, and wimpers?? Our neighbors no doubt think we are raising dogs,
    although all they see are cats and birds....

	I have 2 dogs, so my red lord has picked up barking. My new baby yellow nape is also starting to bark, so you can image what my house must sound like when everyone gets going...
238.2	No Barks but Meows??	ANT::MPCMAIL		`Fri Aug 11 1989 12:44`	8
	Not barking but meowing... Our tentants upstairs have a cat and when we put the Amazon on the porch, she has learned to meow. So when she wants to scare the Molcuan Cocktoo( who was raised with cats), or when she gets really hyper she starts meowing. God help us! Lise
