Every once in a while my cockatiels will harmonize. It is so funny that I will here different tunes going on at the same time then one or two will give in a join the first one singing.

My wife loves getting a wolf whistle first thing in the morning. :D

We've had our Arican Red Bellied only a couple of months. Already he has learned:

Whatcha doing?
How ya doing?
Hello
Hi baby (sometimes Hello baby)
Hahaha (laugh)
I love you
Chirps from the birds outside
Wolf whistle (mentioned above)
Many, many other whistles. Sometimes I think he's going to whistle a tune. :)

How cute, Pajarita! Can you post a video? I'll have to try teaching our ARB that one. I think he's going to be a good talker, but his whistling capability is amazing. We just need to work with him longer -- only had him two months.

Also, did you teach your CAG that whistle, or did you use a sound bite? I'm not a particularly good whistler, so I'm not sure I could teach our bird anything that complex.

My dear, I don't even take pictures of my birds much less videos! I am hopelessly outdated when it comes to current technology...

You are able to post articles so that puts you ahead of me. I tell myself I could probably do it if I had time to consentrate. That makes me feel a little better.

I used to change the TV channel to catch the theme song until I found a mpeg of it on the internet that I linked to my audio player on my computer. She came to me knowing the theme to Andy Griffin and I didn't want her to lose it by not hearing it.
I can post links to articles and post photos, but haven't had much luck with videos as of yet. I can build a computer out of parts or rebuild one but have problems with videos. I will eventually get there.
