A friend had a cockatoo and a dog. They hated each other. The dog would

somebody opened the door to prove no one was there.
The bird learned to mimic the door bell. He'd wait til the dog was asleep
and say "ding-dong". When the dog finally calmed down the bird would say,
"damned dumb dog!" and then laugh.
It got so bad they had to disconnect the door bell.

Couple of years back we babysat an African Gray parrot for almost a
year. Stayed in a cage on the balcony above the front porch, but was
basically invisible from anyone walking down the sidewalk.

I generally have a glass of wine on the front porch before dinner.
Damned parrot would wolf whistle every female that walked down the
sidewalk ... and the only person they could see was me.

Had to do a bit of explaining on more than one occasion, and pretty
sure, to this day. there is more than one lady who didn't buy my story.
