What has your bird (birds) learned completely on their own? These are things that were never purposely taught to them; things they have come up with on their own. For example; greetings, acknowledgments, attention grabbers, embarrassing things:evil: they do that you have not intentionally teach them to do.

A Grey is a wild animal removed from the wild, bred to be companions. They are long removed from being able to take care of themselves but not so long as to forget at times they're still wild...so it's up to us to make sure we protect them. We're the reason they demand all this attention. We removed them from the wild. Jay

Yes Janet, Argyle my hahns macaw has learnt to create a racket when there is a stranger in the house or even in the garden, he also shrieks when I start the vacum cleaner up. Oh yes and I didn't teach he to bite the crap out of me either, that came naturally :P
Martini who has only in the last 6 months or so has really started back in with morning chripping ect. He is a closet talker. So he has to be in the room all by himself not even Alex. Not only has he started saying Hi Martini again (he came with that) he now imitates sounds that Alex makes. He is starting to bark like Alex does but in a much higher pitch and to do the wolf whistle. He got both from Alex. I think it is to cute!
