What songs or sayings would you like to hear from wild birds?

Asked by mazingerz88 (28847points) September 17th, 2011

Apparently it’s a fact. Pet birds like Cockatoos in Australia, who for some reason got away from their owners, end up teaching human phrases to wild birds they socialized with. In turn, these now talking wild ones surprise people with their newly acquired skills.

Talking birds sound really human if you don’t know they’re birds. I had an encounter once with a Mynah who kept asking, “Who is it-?” from behind a door I was knocking on. Took a full 8 minutes of me answering this what I thought to be a deaf person, repeatedly.

So theoretically speaking, if you have a a talking pet bird, what words or phrases or songs would you teach it and then set it free to teach other birds-? Or what random phrases or songs would you like to hear from outside your window-?
