Ha ha! Similar experience with my Kiku on how she learned to sneeze. When I sneeze it can go on for about 10-15 times in a row (exhausting) but by the end of my sneezing fit Kiku had picked it up and was even doing the sneezing motion!! Birds are so smart and observative! Just amazing.
I got my grey in November and the entire month of Dec at least one person was sick snd coughing in my house....well now Niles does a very convincing cough amd its been months since anyone was sick. I think the cough was the first thing he mimmicked lol.
Haha they are so funny aren't they!! Audrey imitates other house noises, but I thought it took a few weeks of them hearing it to learn it LOL sure proved me wrong!! xD Now she wont stop hiccuping, its adorable
Mac's previous owner had a nasty smokers cough. You know the kind that it sounds like your trying to cough up a lung. That is one of Mac's favorite things to do when he isn't busy doing something else, he will sit on his playstand and hack and cough.
I have had friends come over, who thought for sure someone was ill in the house. Then when I told them the story, they felt really bad for Mac.
He has also picked up Peek a Boo, which is favorite game. he will sit for hours it seems like repeating "Peek a Boo" over and over again. My wife really thanks me for that on a daily basis.
