Parrots are incredible mimics! There's one in my customer base who can mimic the ringing of the cordless phone with such uncanny accuracy that it is unnerving. Things got really wild once when the cordless really was ringing, and the parrot mimicked it from another room, complete with the silent intervals between rings. Z!

One of my clients does have a parrot. The first time I tried to tune the treble the parrot started repeating the notes, (close enough to really create a problem.) Finally had to have them remove the parrot when I tune the piano. Louis Verkoelen Associate Technician Big Bear City CA.
