      First, we have a cat that looks like Adam Driver (Kylo Ren).
      Now we have a budgie that sounds like R2D2.
      Next thing you know, we'll have a lyrebird that imitates the entire movie.
      This site proves Corey Taylor right. Man really is a "four letter word."

      I'm now using my Deviant Art page to post my humor.

        Lyrebirds are awesome. That is all.

          My senegal mimics electronic noises. Half the time I can't tell if I'm getting a text, a phone call, a Facebook message, or if my bird is just fucking with me.

            My grandfather told of a starling, at the railway station where he was stationmaster, which learned their whistled signals. After a few days chaos they had to forbid whistles on that station and use hand signals.
            The bird forgot the signals over the summer, so after a few months, they could go back to whistles.
            This was in the beginning of the fifties, so no handheld radios.

              Birds are awesome. I wish I wasn't afraid of the bigger ones biting me with those super strong beaks. (also I have the same fear of rabbits, those teeth are scary!) Anyway, I know it's not the same, but when I lived at home we had chickens. They made this trilling sound whenever they saw something they perceived as a predator. So whenever they made that sound I automatically looked up, because it was usually a hawk or an eagle. Though occasionally it was a plane. Don't even get me started on the ducks. You could have a conversation with them.
              Replace anger management with stupidity management.

                It's not the big ones you need to be afraid of. I'd rather get bit 100 times by my macaw than once by my senegal. The amazon is somewhere in between.

                  Well, now I'm afraid of both. Could you expand on why the smaller ones are worse? Are their beaks... sharper? Do they grab on and not let go? We had a mallard drake who hated me and would bite the skin on my hand between the finger and thumb. He'd grab on and twist his head back and forth. I, of course, petted him with my other hand. Sooooo soft.

                    See, the real problem isn't whether or not they CAN crack hard nuts, it's whether they think YOU are a hard nut to crack.

                      Bigger birds, parrots anyway, can get more of whatever they're grabbing in their beaks. That means your body part is going to be in the flat part and not get punctured by the sharp, curved part. Also, they mostly just use their beaks as a tool. They use it to test the stability of whatever perch you're offering or to just move your arm out of the way if they don't like it there. Of course like any wild animal, if they feel threatened they can do harm, but a well socialized parrot will be bite pressure trained, and that's far easier to do with the larger birds.

                            I'll just say that "bird brain" is not an insult. These guys are like evil genius toddlers with a can opener for a face. The trouble they can get into is astounding.
