I jus tgot done reading that story on yahoo

I knew a family back in the 80's that had a siamese cat that alway ran out the door when ever it was opened. They spent countless hrs. chasing the dumb cat down. They traveled one weekend from Cincinnati to somewhere in upstate Michigan and the cat ran out the door as soon as it was opened in Michigan, never to be seen again. 4 months later the dang cat showed up scrating on the front door...back in Cincinnati. Unbelievable how smart animals are.

Hey you have to give the owner kudos here too.

How many people do you know, would have thought to teach it something usefull? Like where it lives.

Definitely!

Check this one out:
LONDON, England -- A computer programmer found out his girlfriend was having an affair when his pet parrot kept repeating her lover's name, British media reported Tuesday.
The African grey parrot kept squawking "I love you, Gary" as his owner, Chris Taylor, sat with girlfriend Suzy Collins on the sofa of their shared flat in Leeds, northern England.
But when Taylor saw Collins's embarrassed reaction, he realized she had been having an affair -- meeting her lover in the flat whilst Ziggy looked on, the UK's Press Association reported.
Ziggy even mimicked Collins's voice each time she answered her telephone, calling out "Hiya Gary," according to newspaper reports.
Call-center worker Collins, 25, admitted the four-month affair with a colleague called Gary to her boyfriend and left the flat she had shared with Taylor, 30, for a year.
Taylor said he had also been forced to part with Ziggy after the bird continued to call out Gary's name and refused to stop squawking the phrases in his ex-girlfriend's voice, media reports said.
"I wasn't sorry to see the back of Suzy after what she did, but it really broke my heart to let Ziggy go," he said.
"I love him to bits and I really miss having him around, but it was torture hearing him repeat that name over and over again.
"I still can't believe he's gone. I know I'll get over Suzy, but I don't think I'll ever get over Ziggy."
Taylor acquired Ziggy as a chick eight years ago and named him after the David Bowie character Ziggy Stardust.
The bird has now found a new home through the offices of a local parrot dealer. Collins, who admitted the affair, said: "I'm not proud of what I did but I'm sure Chris would be the first to admit we were having problems.
"I am surprised to hear he got rid of that bird," she added to The Guardian newspaper. "He spent more time talking to it than he did to me."

You would be surprised on what parrot's say. We have one that is a die hard Nascar fan, and he will get upset if he doesn't get to watch his Nascar.

What a parrot can say can also cost him his life. I remember hearing on the radio years ago. WLS chicago I think??? They had a animal story thing on there all the time anyway person had a cat also. The birdie would always say here kitty kitty kitty. One day he was out and was singing his little song and they heard a awful racket and saw a pile of feathers...
