Thinking of the way birdies chatter away to themselves, my mother and I were staying in a cottage in Devon many years ago, where the two spinster ladies who ran it as a B&B and tea room had only recently had electric light installed. Until then, they'd lit Tilley lamps every night. One afternoon, my mother heard Marjorie's voice clearly say to Muriel, "It's time to light the lamps, Muriel". Mother replied to Marjorie, "Light the lamps? Don't you remember you've got electricity now?" Marjorie said to Mum, "That wasn't me - that was Charlie the budgie!"

Mother and I were talking about your boidy's verbal skills today, Dom, and she said she wondered if our friends had ever succeeded in teaching little Charlie (who had a magnificent repertoire, including shouting "bloody-bloody-bloody!" thanks to Muriel's penchant for swearing), to say, "The vet is a sadist"! :D
