Phone ringing?
Does your bird *answer* the phone when it rings?
When our phone rings Toby will hollar "hello?" until I answer it. Even if he hears a phone ringing on TV or in a movie, he will Hello it until it stops ringing.
We took Toby out with us the other day. We were at a store and some lady's cell phone rang (it sounded like our home phone) and at the top of his lungs Toby yelled across the store "Hello? *pause* Hiiiiiiiiiii" Everyone in our aisle started laughing which made Toby laugh. And of course he wants to laugh louder than anyone.
A little girl came up to Toby and was very shy but really wanted to see him. Toby must've thought she was cute because he blushed and whispered "I love you". The little girl was thrilled and started giggling. Man, that bird loves little kids!

Oh Boy.... phones are a number 1 issue around here....
Nikki answers the phone all of the time with a "Hello" or a "How are you"
The interesting part started when Nikko arrived. He came to us already equipped with various phone rings. He was mostly raised in an office at a production plant and from that learned several different office and cell phone rings and beeps. Nikko now lives mostly in our home office where there are fax machines, two different land line rings, an office directory answering machine, and two additional cell phones in addition to beeps and rings on the computer.
The result?
Whenever triggered by a phone ringing, Nikko begins to ring and Nikki begins to answer. So the phone "never stops ringing or being answered"
Phone: Ring turns into:
Nikko: Ring Ring
Nikki: Hello
Nikko: Ring Ring
Nikki: How are you?
Nikko Ring Ring
Nikki: Heellllooooo
and it'll go on like that for several minutes lol
So I've got one that rings and one that answers lol
............ and I as I type this........
Nikko has "awaken" and has begun his day with "Polo. Hello Polo. G'morning Polo. Polo. Pooolllooooo. Polo. Polo......"
Thank gawd I'm taking the dogs to the parade today... we all need a break LOL

None of my birds answer the phone, but we have a YNA at the aviary who does. He'll say "Hello" when the phone rings, then reply to everything that the person on the phone is saying.
He also says "come in" when someone knocks on the door. Once, the greenwing macaw got on his [YNA] cage, and the YNA was telling him that he'd better not go up there and that he needed to stop.
He has a HUGE vocabulary. Nobody is sure exactly how many words he knows, but he speaks in context all the time.

I was in a pet store the other day and they have lots of birds. They had a pair of some kind in a cage and the whole time I was in there all they did was "Hello" "Hello" back and forth. It got really anoying, but it was funny too. They did this for like the whole 15 mins I was in there.

My cousin Stuarts African Grey Poppy, Rings like a phnone a couple of time and awnswers himself, if a phone goes off in the house he will say hello, other sound affects are.
Wipeouts from Bob Monkhouses game show.
Running water, Coughing and burping, he only burps when Stuart enters the kitchen, we only have to go near the Child gate and before we have reached it he squeeks just like the gate will do, if we are outside crashing and banging in the garden he starts hammering, Tap tap,tap tap, he squeels like a Guinea Pig, yelps like a terrified dachsund, tweets like a canary which only stayed at his house three days and it was in another room, he copies the Clifford alarm on my cousins Old astra GTE, if the dog barks he sais Oi or even Shut Up.
Other lines are, when he knows people are leaving the house.
" allright see you later "
" Be good "
" Cup of Tea "," Cup of Coffee ", and now Cup Koftee Lol
Poppy does all of this in Junes voice so we know who to blame, also in her voice he often shout
" STUART " or " BEV "
Swareing is rare but he usualy does it to Beverley Lol
