Tiercel 6,986 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 About 12 or so years ago we just had the mealy amazon, then friends of ours who were parrot crazy sold their house then got gazumped on the house they were buying. They had to go into rented accomidation that did not allow pets. For 3 months we had 2 orange winged amazons, A pair of eclectus, one bald afirican grey and the mealy amazon in the same house. The noise when one started off was horrendus they would all join in with all their own favorite sayings.N Never again. TC Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bosun11 537 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Being a mimic is cleaver, in a bird, for about 5 mins to me, anything longer is a fecking nightmare... Each to their own... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Being a mimic is cleaver, in a bird, for about 5 mins to me, anything longer is a fecking nightmare... Each to their own... Aye they are clever. My mum reckons the best one she ever heard was a myna that my nan's cousin used to have across the road from where she grew up. Reckoned it used to shout this woman's son down from the shed at the back of the garden, it sounded that much like his mum! I'd heard starlings are meant to be good mimics too, never heard one do much but I was sat in my aunties garden the other week by myself and a magpie came and sat in the same tree as a handful of them. One started making a noise like a jackdaw alarm call until a load of jackdaws came to the tree to investigate.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
