Too funny Paige.  If I'm on the phone with somebody and I start laughing,
before long I can hear Bundy (my blue and gold macaw) downstairs doing his
own laugh.  It's absolutely hilarious!  I play a kazoo for the birds here
once in a while.  They really go crazy when I do that.  Sometimes I hear
Bundy make noises that are identical to that when I'm out of the room.  Some
of his best work though, has that three stooges sound effect quality and
comes right out of the blue.  He isn't as much the word mimicker that your
brother's african gray is, but his sounds are uproarious.
