I have 2 blue parakeets, Precious and Nick. Precious was the same as your Bacon...then...we got Nick and, well, they kind of went crazy. After a few years of them being completely out of it, I tried to train Precious again. And... it worked!! Nick is okay, but he always gets in my hair. my hair is long, brown, and curly, and I think he thinks its a nest.... but, theyre fun, even though they never get quiet... So, I would recommend parakeets, although I warn you, they can be wild

I have a 14 yr. old Military Macaw. I've tried getting him a friend but he's never been interested in another bird...he acts scared of them. He's pretty low key as far as parrots go. Hardly makes a peep unless the pony is walking by the window

My Green Wing Macaw Oscar goes nutso when he sees people riding horses past "his" window, which happens maybe once a month. Not much else sets him off like that but one morning there came a huge ruckus from the bird room. I ran to the window to see about 50 Confederate troops in uniform marching by. You see I live on South Mountain, which was the site of several significant battles in the days leading up to Antietam, which is only a few miles from me. Usually the reinactments roughly coincide with the actual dates but I don't even think this was in September.

My cockateils will bark like a dog when they do not want to talk. My Adrican ring necks are a mess they will talk loudly when you turn the TV off.

I'd love to have a Quaker, but they are illegal in KY.

I do know a lady who has one; if anyone asks what it is, she says, "It's a green parrot." They're not illegal in any of the states adjoining us, though. How strange...

My 'tiels and my AGray bark like dogs, too. One of the 'tiels will whistle and "call the dogs", then start barking.

The African Gray barks, meows, laughs just like me, calls me just like my husband does (I can't TELL you how many times I've gone to the office/man-cave and said, "What did you want?" or just "What?" and he looks at me like I'm daft and says, "I didn't call you"... then the AGray (Taz) laughs his fool head off! He also does a perfect smoke alarm...

ETA: A dear friend of mine bought me one of the "cluck-coo" clocks that on the hour a chicken pops out the door where the cuckoo usually comes out, and the chicken says, "buk bu bu BOK buk buk buk buk buk buk buk". The clock has a light sensor that keeps the bird from coming out or making noise during the night. About 4 a.m. a few weeks ago, we heard chicken sounds. My husband rolled over and said, "do you have a chicken in the house?" I said, "no, I don't." His response: "I'm gonna kill that bird...."
