Chic Silber said...: Another great talking bird

is the Mynah that Ron & Mitzi

Gill had that drove everyone

nuts as it kept screaming the

name of their dog Kimo which

could be heard through much

Chic Silber said...: Sulpher Crested Cockatoos

are as common & plentiful

in a few big Sydney parks

as pigeons in New York

They are loud screechers; 24 February, 2019 09:29

Roger Smith said...: During her marriage to Eddie Trees, Mabel Stark had an African Gray. Eddie was a long-time menagerie superintendent on the big shows, and a top cat man that Mabel took to in later years. They had quite a colorful relationship, and the parrot added to the scene, constantly screeching, "Eddie! Ed-dieee! Get over here!" One day the parrot went missing, and Mabel was forever suspicious that supper that night was Cornish game hen, as Eddie claimed.

Parley Baer and Ralph Edwards established Pacific Pioneer Broadcasters. Edwards' show, THIS IS YOUR LIFE, originally on NBC Radio, featured stars who were supposed to be surprised that their life was the program that night. Parley set up the episode honoring Mabel, and booked all her guests, who introduced themselves from a hidden mic backstage. When Eddie Trees spoke, Mabel didn't recognize his voice, and Eddie laughed at her about it the rest of his life.; 25 February, 2019 15:10
