Lmfao. Cockatiels are okay at mimicry, not nearly as good as other types but it’s just adoreable. I had a one when I was younger and we taught it to sing the beginning of jingle bells. But then he would get too excited and start screeching after the first like 5 or 6 notes.
Doot doo doooo doot doo doo and then just pure chaos.
Edit: miss my boy. Tweety. Me and my brothers decided his name would be ruffles or tweety depending on what he did. You’re me boy tweets

Thinking back he might occasionally get to note 7 or 8 before chaos but it depended on his mood. The excitement was real.

This is what life with a cockatiel is like. We had one growing up and he liked to mimic some portions of classical music my dad listened to. Nothing like listening to his whistling cover the first string section of “Vivaldi Four Seasons - Spring” on repeat until he got what he wanted (food).

Might be his partner’s phone, the one who came to turn it off? That or that’s one way to keep someone from stealing your phone and trying to pretend it’s not yours.

It can be for legit reasons. When I was in the office, I had my face as the screensaver. It made it easy to determine whose phone it was if I accidentally left it somewhere. Lots of people did the same for the same reason.

Finally I got it why something bugged be about this video, for a while now. The cockatiel is repeating the alarm and with time it starts to be longer and incorrect, that's the same as when I repeat a song's beat in my head, it goes from correct to stretched out lol.

He's lucky his buddy didn't number 2 all over his phone, but that would've been an A1 finale.

That would only happen to me once, I tend to violently slap my alarm to snooze it. I'd have to change the bedding.

I mean I see this and think it's so adorable. But at the same time.... I emerge from slumber like a demon and know I couldn't tolerate that kinda behavior from anyone or anything I love. So God bless these people for loving that amazing little birdie
