The Wordy Birdy Speech Trainer takes the effort out of teaching your – or someone else’s – parrot interesting words.
This device allows you to record what you would like your bird to say and repeat it over a time period from 1 minute to 80 minutes.
(Via Gizmodo)
In Spain old ladies do it free, all day. Here’s a typical conversation between a granny just along the street and her bird:
–Guapa! (Gorgeous!)
–Guapa!
–Guapa!
–Guapa!
–Guapa!
–Guapa!
Can you get her to teach it ‘Hello Trevor’?
Or ‘Where’s your hair?’
I’ll have to teach her to say “Hello Trevor” first. At the moment I think she thinks I am one of the Russian mafia who hang out on the corner.
That was rather what I was implying (I mean not the Russian mafia bit).
It’s wonderful what these topics do for the ads.
On Majorca, as Trevor probably also knows, German club- and bar-owners also parrot in a drunken Spanish stupour all night:
gilipollas – bloody idiot
gilipollas
gilipollas
The gizmo/device would also make an excellent way of learning a foreign language or the law. Could supplant lecturers at the College of Law of England & Wales.
Trevor is presumably in Mexico, practising his Castilian.
I’m not sure the parrot would do the job at question-and-answer sessions, nor perhaps leave long enough dictation spaces.
My husband and I recently moved from Pennsylvania to Tennessee and in the process misplaced or lost our Wordy Birdy. This was wonderful for our Cockatiel who passed away before our move. However, I am ordering one for our two Parakeets.
