Back to my noisy neighbour, the parrot. I looked over the balcony and noticed that the parrot shares his home with a lovely black&white cat. A lovely, QUIET, black&white cat. I was surprised this morning to hear this very cat miaw, repeatedly, as if in pain. I guessed the cat was probably complaining about his miserable life with such a noisy parrot. I allowed curiosity to get the better of me and decided to lean out of my balcony (risking certain death) to look at the parrot and cat below. Well, to my great surprise the cat was nowhere to be seen!! It was the damn parrot, mimicking the cat´s miaw!!! Unbelievably accurate as well, the parrot sounded more like a cat than the cat itself! I have now started to whisper a few well chosen english words in the parrot`s direction, in the hope he copies me as well as everything else under the sun,from car engines to alarms and video game sounds etc.I just hope there are no english tourists passing by when he does...
