Wink Grey noises! Good and Bad!

Hello Everyone!

What noises does your grey make?? What is the most annoying one??
I find it very interesting to read about greys and what they are capable of mimicing!!

Its interesting how a grey will take a nice chirping noise and mimic it, but about 20 times louder! Thats what Casey does with the microwave beep! It actually hurts the ears! lol
But I love when he sings, " Pop goes the weasel!"

Mojo and Shinda make a very high pitched noise too, very loud, so maybe it's actually a noise Greys naturally make??
