My grandmother had a large blue-and-yellow macaw who not only could whistle
for the dog as well as perfectly mimic my grandma's voice, but had also
developed a distinct dislike for her brother, my Greatuncle John. John would
walk into the house and the macaw would say "You son of a b****h" and would
refuse to acknowledge anybody until John left!! John was the only one the
bird did that to, and the only one who by the way, was a
drunk.........coincidence???
