My parents had a friend who's parrot learned to call the dog in its masters voice, whenever it was bored it would call the dog then watch the dog look around the rooms for its master, and sometimes rode around on its back while it did. For 10 years the dog never learned it was the parrot. When it eventually passed away the bird went into a depression, it started loosing feathers and not eating. They got another dog (they were going to anyway) and the bird got better, but it never learned the new dogs name.
i had a african grey and his name was india and he would mimic my dad calling us *girls* and also he would mimic the dog barking so we would be like blondie shut up!!
