Bird has me going nuts

[nvranemptynest]

About a week ago, I was out in the yard when I heard, "Pretty bird" coming from the trees. I searched, thinking someone had lost a pet cockatiel. I must have looked crazy wandering around my property repeating "pretty bird" over and over! The bird finally answered, and I realized it sounded exactly like my 'tiel. Eventually, it was kind enough to relieve me of my fears and go into a series of bird calls. I still have to check every time I hear my friendly, neighborhood mockingbird. I think he gets a kick out of setting me off on a wild goose chase! Great for family entertainment, too...at my expense!

LOL I taught it was funny when you told that to me. Wish I had one of those around the house, could scare the pants out of ppl.

At least one of the local wild starlings here repeats the "weewoo weewoo weewoo" of sirens from ambulences! I've sat outside on our porch a few times and heard it! LOL
