Parrot mimics polly-phonic phone

Drives owner nuts
Friday, 7 December 2007, 16:51

A PARROT is driving is owner crazy by constantly mimicking his mobile phone's ringtone.

The bird appears to have a sense of humour and laughs every time it manages to foo Brit, Stuart McNae.

McNae has already changed his ringtone five times, according to this Estonian report, and is hoping that the parrot, Billy, will take a bit longer to learn the First Full of Dollars theme tune he is now using.

The bird waits until Mr McNae leaves the room and then mimics the ringtone to ensure he rushes back in to answer it.

The moral of the story seems to be, ignore your phone if you think some bird is ringing. ยต

vibrate, perhaps?

Ah, but the real question is does he mimic "vibrate", and what does that look like?

Awesome!

Nokia should rush to buy the parrot and use him for commercials.

Polly's Peri-wrinkle's & Peircing's!

I got this posted through to me on a Google alert for Polly P and I think it is just classic!
So much so that I intend to publish it on my blog with a link back to this story, just for a bit of fun!

Everyone needs a laugh in this world, even if it is at the expense of someone else. Thank you for printing this.
