They tell on people too!  One day my husband took ours to the vet to
have beaks and nails trimmed.  We have the vet do it so they won't
hate us for it.  When I got home, thinking clippers had been used, my
double yellow head, over and over, in a cycle like a tape playing,
would make a buzzing noise, scream, flop to the ground making
screeching noises, stop, yell BAD BIRD BAY BOY YELLER! and crawl back
up on his perch and start over.  When my husband came in I showed it
to him and he started laughing and said "he is telling you a story of
what happened today.  They used a dremel on him to grind his beak and
nails, wrapped him in a towel, and he got loose, bit the assistant,
she freaked and jerked her arm, slinging him to the floor while I
yelled Bad Bird!  Bad Boy Yeller!" for biting her. "  haha
