Yep once they learn something you can't shut them up. I made a huge mistake with my Cockatoo, I have a stuffed dog that barks Christmas songs and now I have the best barking dog with feathers :shock:

cool. They do learn pretty quick and they pick up all the things you dont want them to. oh and they mix the words in together too.

Yep, I always have to be on top of my kids, when they visit... I don't want my birds to pick up on their swear words.

English is my second language, so swearing - especially in English - doesn't happen with me.

My Quaker - Shrek - says a polite 'thank you!' when I put a treat in his bowl.

Paulie, my IRN, is starting to make different sounds, that could be mistaken for words.
Cheers

I've been called 'birdbrained' before, but somehow I don't think this is what they meant. say:hah-nay
