Polly wanna OH GOD YES IT'S SO BIG DADDY?

My roommate has a pet African Grey Parrot that replicates sounds in its environment with stunning fidelity. In addition to the usual "pretty bird" and whatnot, it also sneezes, rings like the phone, barks like the dog, and gurgles like the tap.

I can never, ever have sex within this bird's hearing.

  1. But, that would bring the lulz! Why wouldn't you do that?!

  2. Drew - The more intriguing question is how my roommate hasn't already done so. Maybe this explains why she always goes over to her boyfriend's place for "a nap" instead of vice versa. I thought they were being modest on my behalf, but perhaps not...

  3. I'm imagining the parrot in a black leather harness with a crop in its beak, and I can't think why teaching it to scream "hurt me!" would be a bad thing.
