What noise does your bird fool you with the most

Vortex does a wicked rendition of a microwave beep, but she does so many at a time I know it's not the microwave, LOL!

As I said, my first Amazon, a yellow nape named Winston was obnoxiously a great sound copier. One time, he started doing the digital telephone ring. I was in the basement working on something. I heard the phone ringing. And ringing, And ringing! Angrily, I yelled up the stairs 'Would you answer the farking phone' to my wife. She shouted back 'It's your faulking PARROT!!'. And he added that sound to his list of timely brought out sounds. Most obnoxious was his imitation of my baby daughters 'Change my diaper' cry, which would get both of us running, only to find her sleeping or playing.

My CAG, Nameliss is directly responsible for me forcing my daughter to get 2 of her male cats neutered. They would fight bouncing around their area. It was several fights a day while my daughter was at work. I finally couldn't stand it. I was worried about collateral damage to the dogs, furniture etc. She got them neutered. The fights increased. I told her one or both had to go. Then one morning, they were fighting again. The problem was neither was home. They were at the vet for shots. I was amazed at how well Nameliss mimicking was. The growling, yowls, crashing bodies onto the furniture, sounds fading away from their room door and back again. I told my daughter about it later. She was upset, more so about the money. The cat fights have altered. Nameliss now adds doggie growls while attacking her cow bell. I have yet to figure out what she'll decide to mimic or when. Nameliss is more into speaking. She also delights in mimicking the local wild avian population. It never occurred to me to think she'd mimic the cats.
