I would never deal with birds, if I didn't inexplicably end up dating someone with a damn bird.

Wait until you have a hardwired system. All interconnected so when one chirps they all chirp. I should mention they have a battery backup in each one. Good luck finding the bad one.
cutebernese
10/10 would chirp for her too
owlcatsanctuary101
Why isn't she dressed? I mean xD it's her home but she has a full face of makeup and no clothes?!
Anarchduke
My cat heard this sound, jumped up and ran like hell. I don't even know why.
wazeewa
Pretty good incentive to change the batteries. A friend had birds who would replicate the telephone. He'd be in the yard and hear the phone ring. Run inside and nothing. This happened 3 or 4 times before he realized it was the damn bird messing with him haha
cheesehole
That could be annoying. But more importantly, is she filming this naked?
ChrisVZ
.. but, cats are the evil ones. /s
OrkenMork
Need to give that parrot a new sound to immitate!
Jezzz
Is it just me or does this lady look like Merida and Xena had a baby...

Wait 'til they learn "Hey Siri" or "Alexa"....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGftsKNTSYA

Ouch. My Alexa heard that video and responded. Except instead of hearing an order for pulled pork she heard gold bar. I am not kidding! (I canceled the order).

Reason # 362 I will never own a bird.

I can see the Gucci bags of sleeplessness under her eyes

Make-up totally on point

On the contrary, I'd say Robert Smith is looking surprisingly fresh for a 64-year-old.

I didn't realize that Lady Godiva had birds
nubblebun
Pale skin, raven curls, ice eyes, oh my.
meskarune
My family adopted a parrot once and it made baby crying sounds. It took way too long for us to realize it was the bird.
Fayen
I thought they replaced the batteries in all the birds during lockdown already
LiquidSunshine
I want to believe she is naked in that indoor garden of Eden
EggFooYung
The English use of "bird" to mean "woman", along with the thumbnail, had me thinking that this was about something entirely different.
IHateYouMyselfAndEveryone
What's up with the kill room prep? What's she doing to those birds
obarey
She brings in victims to satisfy the bird's lust for live prey.
IHateYouMyselfAndEveryone
oh no

My mom had a parrot that decided it loved the way an old cordless phone's ringer sounded and never dropped the imitation even after the phone was long gone.
Tarelgeth
Our parrot prank calls himself. "Beep beep, beep, beep beep, beep beep. BRRRRRRING! BRRRRRRRING! Hello? HAHAHAHAHA!click. goddamnit."
xj4low
Wifes old african parrot would do the same with a ringing phone sound. Only follow it up with it mimicking her mom saying "hello...Ok, All right, bye bye." Glad she left that bird with her parents after we got married and she moved away.
monkey484
My mom had an African Grey like in this clip. Every time my mom sneezes, she sneezes like 10 times. The parrot picked this up. As well as telling itself bless you.
IndigoThursday
There was a wild blackbird in my mum's garden that did a perfect imitation of next doors phone ringing
FormerlySable
I read about a mechanic who rigged his garage door to go up & down when he whistled a particular tune. A few weeks later, his neighbor informed him that every day after he left for work, a mockingbird would sit in a bush next to the garage & whistle the door up and down for hours.
bwhite9
We had a phone ringing parrot (still do, actually) and an answering parrot. All day long...ring ring....hello?...ring ring....hello?
AbelardSnazz
My brother's African Grey Parrot has learned every beep, alarm and doorbell in the house and deliberately mocks them.
brettTvBaron
Is someone gonna get that?
airbreather
Yet another reason to REPLACE THE DAMN BATTERIES IN YOUR SMOKE DETECTOR, PEOPLE. If it was going on long enough that your birds are imitating it, then sorry, that's on you.
kadaeux
Birds are like toddlers, they take a lot of work to pick up what you want them to say, but one misplaced fuck and it's all they'll say for a long time.
jj999124
There's no way to comprehend what's gonna click instantly in that dozen or so brain cells. It's like the subconsciously know what's gonna drive you mad and learn that the fastest to get attention. Hell they might see the detector chirp once and you immediately change the battery and think "oh if I chirp like that they'll immediately play with me too!"
azarza
'going long enough for the birds to imitate it' is the first clue.. this sounds like normal birds chirping lol
airbreather
This brings up my (probably very unpopular) opinion on keeping “pet” birds… I get irrationally angry at people who want to take the LITERAL SYMBOL OF FREEDOM and put it in a cage (btw your house is a cage). Go ahead & downvote if you must; I prefer to try and preserve a world where they can live free in the environment as they evolved to do.

Highly recommend those smoke alarms that come with a 10 year battery. That's how often you're supposed to completely replace them anyways so it's perfect
digginlife
I didn’t realize we are supposed to replace the alarms every 10 years. Our hard-wired (with battery backup) ones are 15 yrs old. I will look into this. Thank you.
conniecpu
Yep, the National Fire Protection Association recommends replacing every 10 years as the sensors can become unreliable over time, especially for the kind that use radioactive material for sensing. Although for new ones I recommend the LED based units because they have fewer false alarms and detect smoldering fires earlier.
digginlife
I looked it up, too. Thanks for the info. It’s now on the house maintenance To-Do list. We live in a dusty place, so this makes total sense. Now if I can just find ones that don’t have a light on them. We also live in a very dark-at-night place. In the winter at new moon, the only light in our bedroom is that dam green light on the smoke detector. I bought black nail polish thinking I could paint it over, but the light is inaccessible..yet still able to shine.
nickasaurusrex83
Or ones connected to the mains.
thepriceisrightbitchez
There is still a backup battery you have to replace.
MinimumContributor
Even hardwired, most have a battery backup. So it can still chirp.
ThoroughBurrow
That doesn’t sound useful in the event of a fire.
nickasaurusrex83
Probably not if your fire starts at your DB but they have built in batteries for that.
TakeMeToFrontPageAndBackFiveTimesADay
They have a backup battery, but one that gets charged by the mains so you only have to replace it when the whole alarm gets replaced
conniecpu
Unfortunately to do that I'd have to run a whole bunch of new mains to all my smoke detector locations and it would cost a lot for very little benefit since all the smoke detectors need to be replaced after 10 years regardless. My house is quite old and the new codes require a lot more smoke detectors than it came with, so there's no wires running to most of them
nickasaurusrex83
They run off lights in our house but whatevs.
umibozusan
They need separate circuits. Otherwise they would only work when the lights were on wouldn’t they
conniecpu
I don't even have ceiling lights in my bedrooms :P
conniecpu
(curse whichever 1970s designer thought this was a good trend)
HeresYourSauce
Ok, remind me never to get a bird.
holyshackle
As a owner of 9 of them, it’s a forced alarm clock, don’t get birds!
kahooki
CuileannDhu
They are very long lived and social creatures who need a lot of time and special care. They are definitely not for everyone.
johnvictor
If you're going to take on the responsibility of a bird and the life changes that come with it, get a rock dove.
OrificeAndEurydice
My mother’s parrot was good at mimicking voices and liked calling the dog and her father with her mother’s voice 😅
youcannotwin
Never get a bird :)

Just make sure to replace your smoke alarm batteries swiftly.
cytherians
They're wonderful when they're well behaved, and in those moments you feel like all the expense and work to have them is worth it. Then, they aren't well behaved... like screeching to be let out when it's not conducive to do so... or a female that lays eggs and gets PTSD if you keep taking them away, or not giving her a nest for laying them (so they tend to break).
hotmessactual
My mom bought an unhatched B&G macaw the year before I was born. He used to mimic stuff like my brother's "shut up!" Her saying, "there's the bus!" or even just her laugh; you could fake laugh for a few moments and then he would mimic her laugh, and then you'd all laugh because it was so uncanny. When I was 16 the police breached my house & held me at gunpoint from across my living room because they heard my parrot screaming while they were responding to a DV call at my address.
procrastinatorman
They will fucking outlive you!
SoraHjort
It's honestly good advice, birds are very much not a every day pet, yet many treat them as such.
fencetrunkpin2
There are a lot more negatives of bird ownership than positive ones.
Yamusa
What's a bird?
radioactiverat
This post is about birbs.
Silvergreylion
Yeah, had this sketch in a comedy club; bird goes "Anita, I love you". Guy's gf goes "who's Anita?!".
Silvergreylion
Guy, later; "Anita new gf".
ItHappenedInThe20thCentury
Dude, never get a bird.
possumattack
Dude never get a bird, dude never get a bird.
CrazyViruss
Nice on you for havin their back, bruh
Silvergreylion
Yep, especially not a Lyre bird. Nature's version of a dictaphone.

Hmm, dictaphone eh? That what you kids calling phone sex nowadays?
