Polly-phonic spree
A Huddersfield man says he’s had to change his mobile phone ringtone five times because his parrot keeps copying them. Stuart McNae says Billy waits until he leaves the room, then mimics the sound of a call and laughs when he dashes back to answer.
Every time Stuart changes his ringtone the blue-fronted Amazon picks up the new one, reports The Sun. He’s gone through the Nokia theme, Lou Bega’s Mambo Number 5, the BBC Match of the Day tune, Soul Limbo by Booker T and the MGs and Bob Marley’s No Woman No Cry.
He said: “I now have the theme from A Fistful of Dollars. Won’t be long before he’s got that, too. He waits for me to leave the room before he does it. I’ll rush downstairs to find it’s Billy.”
