Barking birds?

ok....does anyone else's birds do this? Caesar will bark sometimes. Usually when he wants attention. I call him my feathered dog. Merlin is starting to do that same thing. LOL! Its actually kinda funny but was just interested how many other birds do this?

My sun conure barks even though he doesn't talk. We don't have a dog either. He mimics all sorts of household sounds though...he may have been hearing a neighbor's dog.

We have 11 dogs, so of course all the birds have picked up the most irritating, high-pitched barks. Now, they can sound just like pomeranians when they want to.... *sigh*

Paulie and Paco bark like my Pomeranian. They growl too, not sure if that's not just a normal noise for them though.

Oh my gosh YES! They don't bark as much as they growl! They get it from our two yorkies!

Hmm, no barking here from the birds! But then, the dogs are pretty good about not doing it, too. :~) Or maybe, the birds just don't like border collie barks, huh Irish?

Spencer definitely has his share of barks. After Christmas, he picked up the annoying, high pitched bark of my neighbor's dog. And now, he's picked up the bark of my other neighbor's dog. Monty (neighbor's dog) was out, barking, the other day. Spencer started barking along with him.
