'A Parrot'

That is quite a story, I read a story awhile back about a Parrot who woke a family up because their house was on fire.
 
When I was a kid, friends had a parrot that could mimic the whistle they used to call the dog.
It would whistle up the dog, which would come running, and then tell it "Down...Lie down!" and Spot would slink down and lie there till someone rescued it.
Birdbrain...

That's funny Dave. Seems you woke up the birds gift to gab. A friend years ago had a parrot that swore like a sailor. That darned bird embarrassed thenm every time someone came to the house. And to top it off, it learned to answer the phone. Imagine that mess. :costumes:
