Parrotlet Mimics the Rain

Parrotlets can actually mimic and talk incredibly well, which people tend not to expect out of small birds. This is just a quick post today, but I wanted to share Ptak’s adorable ‘trickling faucet’ noise. It does sound rather like a running tap. He has recently applied this noise to any water, including rain, whether that be a drizzle or a downpour. Previously, he only used this noise to signal when he wanted a drink or bath in the sink.

Rainy days are full of extra fun for him now, as he spends a lot of time watching the world go by outside my bedroom window!
