Sammie has been picking up a few new words. Her first words were "step up" and "good boy!" (why good boy when I only say Good Girl or Good Birdy I have no idea)

Anyway, two new phrases were said tonight "Hi Sammie" and "Hi Baby!"

Here's the rub. When she says the first two phrases she has such a sweet clear voice. The second two phrases she says in robot voice. I figure she's got MPD

This is why we have pet birds! They are so entertaining. The most difficult thing about MPD is to figure out which bird you are talking to!

I think I've discovered that she uses "robot voice" when she's unhappy with me and wants my attention. I have to admit it was a little disconcerting.

My Sam can do the "evil voice" quite well. It honestly gives me the he-bee-je-bees when he sits there and has an entire conversation sounding like a demon. <shudders just thinking about it >

I am relieved. I thought MPD was some kind of avian disease! :24_shocke

Suddenly, I'm glad that all my girl says is "hello!" If she starts channelling Zuul, I'll have a heart attack.

I'm waiting for Simba to continue his "c'mere" with "so I can bite yer face off". As it is he'll say "c'mere" and then laugh his evil laugh.

My Amazon does that exorcist voice all the time! He goes back and forth from using my voice to the evil voice. So entertaining!

My amazon Slater does that as well! He will say in the sweetest little girl voice :Help Me, Help Me!" The next thing out of his mouth in this deep, Exorcist voice is "Let me out!"
The first time he did that I was a little freaked out.

How do you know it was still Slater, and not.... somebody else

Another thing I had no idea about. I'd love to see an example on video, I'll have to have a look and see if I can find one.

I wonder why they do that? I thought they just copied what they were taught. Maybe somebody else is teaching your birds? -pretend shudder-

In this video you can hear "the" voice a little bit.

And no...this is NOT my bird. No stripper poles in my house - NOWHERE. :54:
