"Hello, hello," the Mexican Red-headed parrot named Salvador said, waking the 59-year-old locksmith from a deep sleep.

...the Mexican Red-headed parrot named Salvador...

A Patriot Parrot, doing the job that American law enforcement won't do.

We have a 37-year old double yellow Amazon. She is totally blind in her right eye and has 10%-20% vision in her left eye (genetic).

She is incredibly bonded to my son and has been since the day he was born. He is now in his early 30's .

We thought she had some sort of unusual capabilities (like ESP) as she would always start calling out his name and pacing in her cage a minute or so before he pulled up in the driveway.

Turns out they have an incredible sense of hearing and she recognized the sound of his engine.

When he traded up his Toyota Corolla to a Scion (turns out to be an excellent vehicle), within about three days she had already memorized its sound.

Amazing!!! May that bird have a long and happy life.

Somebody else has a message for this thief:

I used to have an African Grey. He(?) had a 50+ word vocabulary and loved to imitate sounds. I trained him to make the "shotgun" noise every time someone came in the door (I kept my pump mossburg by the door and cycled it every time I came in, he picked it up in a couple of weeks).

I slept soundly knowing that anyone that came in the door and didn't know me(and my bird) would leave (quickly)!

My cousin’s African Grey could use all the family members’ voices. The funniest thing I saw was his using my cousin’s voice to call the dogs from the screen porch, “Come on, boys, time to eat. Good dogs!” When the dogs showed up at the door, the parrot just ignored them.

A burglar had been casing a particular house for some time. Finally, he saw the owners leave for what appeared to be an extended camping trip. That night he broke in through a basement window and was trying to find his way in the dark when he heard what seemed to him to be the voice of a very old woman saying, “Shame on you! I see you, and Jesus sees you!”

Startled, the burglar snarls back, “Shut up, Grandma, or you’re gonna get hurt!” He shines his flashlight all around, but no Grandma.

Again the voice, “Shame on you! I see you, and Jesus sees you!” Finally, the beam of the flashlight finds a large cage and in it a pretty upset parrot. Relieved, the burglar turns back around and starts toward the stairs, only to spot an enormous slavering doberman waiting at the top.

Just then the parrot screams, “Sic ‘em, Jesus!”

The bird’s name is Salvador....means “savior” in Spanish.

The burglar is NOT dead, he's merely pining for the fjords.

...well, somebody had do say it...

What a great idea! A bird watch dog. I just have the regular dog kinds of watch dogs but they do a great job. They hear a car drive up and are on the alert as soon as the door bell rings it sounds like the Hounds of the Baskervilles have been loosed.

Love that idea.

They have an incredible ability to reproduce just about any sound they hear.

A friend of mine has a parrot that 'coughs' to the point where you start to think the bird is sick. It could also imitate the sound of his classic Zippo lighter.

For a would-be intruder to hear a verbal warning and then the unmistakable sound of someone chambering a 12-gauge shotgun round has got to be a winner.

Title: The Beatles - Hello Goodbye lyrics

Artist: The Beatles

You say yes, I say no
You say stop and I say go, go, go
Oh, no
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello, hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye
I say hello
Hello, hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye
I say hello

I say high, you say low
You say why, and I say I don’t know
Oh, no
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello, hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye
I say hello
Hello, hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye
I say hello

Why, why, why, why, why, why
Do you say good bye
Goodbye, bye, bye, bye, bye

Oh, no
You say goodbye and I say hello
Hello, hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye
I say hello
Hello, hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye
I say hello
hello, hello
I don’t know why you say goodbye I say hello
Hello

Hela, heba helloa
Hela, heba helloa
