That’s my bird Switch. He usually sings it better than that but he’s really curious so when I pull the camera out normally he runs up to check it out, so it’s tough to capture. He also sings shave and a haircut (that song you knock on doors ie.doot doodle oot do… doot doo.) Says the standard bird stuff “hello, pretty bird, give me a kiss? Mwah Good brrrd, and his name” He’s working on imperial march from starwars. I’m no bird trainer, the cockatiel I had as a child could barely remember his name. This guy’s just super smart. Mind you, my Linnie sings everything switch does twice as well (minus the tapping in addams family, he just clucks.) But linnies only tend to sing when they’re hiding in their cots and they think no one is listening, so it’s tough to catch him on video too.
