There's one on youtube, its owners taught it to vocalize like R2D2 from Star Wars. It got old really fast.

They are GREAT pets! I had them for over ten years. I always made sure to have 2 at a time. Not only so they wouldn't get lonely, but so that I could tell people I had a "pair of keets." 

There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.

Our first, Joe, used to talk to us all the time, whistled for the dogs and called the cat. The dogs learned to ignore him but the cat fell for it fairly often (or might have been audio-ranging him).

Yeah, I could get any of the little rascals flaming fighting mad by bobbing a fingertip in the same fashion up-down-left-right. They'd fluff their crests up and their pupils would shrink to pinpoints and it would be ON! "CHCK!-CHCK!-CHCK!-CHCK!-CHCK!-CHCK!!!!!" (freely translated "I will kick your AAASSS!!!")Cybrludite wrote: Bindi has this thing where she hangs on the door to her cage, bobbing side to side and chirping as if she's saying, "I cut choo, mang!" or "Oi!

I'm not old--It's too early to be this late.
