Tigerlily Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 has your grey picked up anything from the TV? tigerlily has learnt to bark from the TV and a few whistles, she has the McDonalds whistle from the end of each advert perfected;) but she hasn't picked up any other sounds or words, not that i particually want her to learn from the TV cause of all the swearing:blush: :whistle: but i just wondered if it was harder for them to pick up stuff from the TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

judygram Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I think Josey picked up the laugh from Spongebob Squarepant's character from the cartoon of the same name when the grandchildren were there but she hasn't done it lately since it has been a while since the kids have watched it but it was something else to hear.

judygram Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 They will pick anything up from anywhere, birds they hear outside, trucks backing up, dripping faucet, you name it they can mimic it.<br><br>Post edited by: judygram, at: 2009/07/15 16:21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I guess Dayo is an exception. We leave the TV on animal planet all day long when we're not home. He has never picked up anything from it. Which I'm glad, I would'nt know what to do if I heard an Elephant blowing their "Charge!!" sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimaysmommy Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 When Walmart's commercials used to have the whistling smiley-face bouncing around the store dropping prices, my high school TAG picked up that whistle. That and R2D2! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Ana Grey has picked up the caw of a crow and other wild bird sounds. I'm not too happy with the cawing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janfromboone Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Tobie hasn't picked up sounds from TV, but had an interesting reaction to something I was watching. I have the planet earth series and I was watching the CD about the polar ice caps. Tobie had come over to sit on my shoulder just as they were showing this poor starving polar bear in desperation attacking walrus who were huddled around their young to protect them. The bear was growling and attacking one after another uselessly and Tobie started growling on my shoulder. He learned the growl from the dogs, but was using it here. Then the CD went to the birds nesting on the polar tundra and because they were in the open they had to chase away arctic fox etc. One bird began to dive bomb a grazer (deer like) and the camera did a great job of close up of the deer running (huffing and puffing) from the bird who was still after it. Tobie starts in with "Go on, now. Go away. Go!! Get down now. Go on!!". All the things we say to our dogs when they bother us and we want them to leave us alone.
