A young woman's African grey parrot does not like her ailing father, who is 66 and suffering from COPD – and continually mimics his cough. The family has learned to roll with it.
'The Big Saturday Show' co-hosts react to a study finding dog and cat owners claiming 36% of their conversations are about their pets.
A video even shows the dad, in jest, flipping the bird at the parrot after watching a video of its relentless mimicry, SWNS reported.Lorna Webb added,"We find Jack's mocking of my dad very funny. That type of gallows humor certainly isn't for everyone, but we all had a really good laugh" about it, she also said.Jack, a female Congo African grey parrot, strongly dislikes men, her owner said."She would sneak across the floor silently and attack the back of his ankles.
Jack lived with owner Lorna Webb, 28, and her father in Bedfordshire for 10 years – and picked up on the man's cough from COPD."However, he is absolutely terrified of her," she added –"and with good reason," SWNS reported.The African grey parrot is said to be very bright. They’re among the smartest birds in the world and the greatest mimic of human speech among the 350 or so known parrot species, according to National Geographic.
Research has shown that the birds possess cognitive skills equal to that of a 5-year-old child, said NatGeo.
