Visit to a Friend from High School (2 of 2): Parrot-sitting.

My one friend from high school is also babysitting her sister's parrot, while her and her husband move houses and get unpacked.

Besides whistling and saying its name, the parrot has now started imitated the beep sound of her "text message received" beep from her phone.

It's so weird and uncanny, to have nature imitate the mechanical.

I found it vaguely malevolent and inauspicious, every time the parrot did that.  It really gave me chills, honestly, and I didn't like it at all.
