What is the weirdest sound your cockatoo makes?

Our M2 neighs like a horse. We've been trying to figure out where she picked it up because she's never been around horses, maybe from a TV program. We've spoken to both her previous owners and they don't know where she would have picked that up. I find it interesting though that she will NOT allow anyone to video tape her doing this. As soon as I point the camera she stops. She allows me to record her doing everything else imitating geckos, a dog barking, a crow (a real obnoxious crow), a wood pecker, etc. One night at dusk she was out on her line neighing so I grabbed the camera and crawled along the floor to covertly tape her doing this as soon as she spotted me she stopped and was like "Hello" "Hello". Like you are so busted and not taping me doing this, ok?

Figure that one out!

That's so very cute that she feels private about it!

The weirdest sound Milton makes is a "weee-woooo-weee-wooo" while he hangs upside-down and swings back and forth. I think the sound is just a bonus to the action....

It's pretty funny when Rhubarb imitates my laugh. Watching TV, I'll laugh and she'll be a click behind me with a cartoony "eh-eh-eh" sound. Sometimes she stares really hard at me when doing it... I imagine she's trying to figure out the mysterious context in which to use the "eh-eh" flock call.

If I ever figure out how to edit a video I'll post it to youtube. Then link it here.

I love it when they swing upside, probably my favorite thing she does. They are just having so much fun and seem so incredibly happy.

My Goffin's, Keno, makes this noise that sounds as if she is being strangled. I run upstairs to check on her and, of course, nothing is wrong.

Ariel used to do her best imitation of an ambulance siren whenever I got into the shower. I live on one of the main streets that ambulances use to get to smaller side streets. Plus one of my neighbors has frequent need to call them. They used to run their siren more. Now thankfully its mostly just their lights and Ariel doesn't do the sound effects as often. Cassie does the smoke detector, but thankfully not nearly as loud as the actual alarm.

Secret, my Amazon, does that crow sound.

Hate it. Absolutely cringe when I hear it
