The telephone

I have posted on other threads about this but just wanted to update on her.
I now have my mobile phone fixed, but bless the little darling, she is mimicking the home phone ring.
This is starting to get a little confusing now

She has the tone worked out. Luckily she only does it when the phone is ringing, but it is confusing as I have answered it but it still keeps ringing.

Also another thing about the phone, she starts up with "hello darlin" the people on the other end can hear this clearly. I have to explain I am not calling them darlin, it is the cockatoo.

Peggy, Peggy, Peggy, what to do.

I know, I often have people on the other end of the line pause after I say hello because Bocca has said it as well. They probably think...that crazy lady has to say hello twice.

Oh how cute. Our birds make a phone ring sound and when the windows are open our neighbors sitting in the sun run inside to answer their phone, and guess what, no one on the other end! LOL Good exercise for them though and eventually they will catch on!

It is funny, all of our probs with these birds mimicking everyday sounds.
Hey when I go to stay at my friends place, this will be truly hilarious, I can just see him going to answer his phone when Peggy starts up.

Ooooo this is gonna be fun.
Goooooo Pegg's. Do your stuff.

How cute is that! My sister-in-laws CAG did that to my dad once when he was over to their house working on some plumbing, poor guy, he didn't figure it out until like the sixth time he tried answering the phone. Ya just gotta love that!!!!

AWe that is so cute!

Chopper my CAG, says "Hello?" everytime the phone rings. as I am talking to someone he is saying "Oh, ok, right, sure, yup" and then when I say good bye...he says "Bye bye, thank you, see ya". LOL

Ha!! Too cute! Maple and Harley both say Hello when they hear the phone...heck all they have to do is hear me dialing!

I love Peggy...she is such a character!

Too funny everyone. Peggy has DONE her thing here. ROFL.

She also chatters away when I am on the phone, her speciality...Hello Darlin...while I am on the phone, soooo many times I have to explain I am not saying Hello Darlin to them expecially if it is a business call, a man on the other end to boot.

I go through the explanation it is the bird, a cockatoo talking, not me.

Peggy, ya gonna get me in trouble one of these days
