danmcq Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I just had an epiphany today when walking out of the room Dayo was in. I noticed (FINALLY) that every time I or Kim leaves the room, Dayo makes the Phone ringing sound....... Then it hit me, he is making it, because every time it rings, we go in that room and answer it!! He's "Calling" us LOL...can't believe it took me this long to connect the two...Geeeezzzzz.

BMustee Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 LOL...now that you say that Elmo will make the noise that the phone makes when you DIAL a lot when he isn't with me. When I call my b/f I normally go out on the porch and take Elmo with me so he must associate the dial noise with going outside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibibi Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Yep, the microwave beep is magic too. Every time it goes off, someone magically comes into the room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah_Rae Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 It's called their flock call or something isn't it? It's also why they learn microwave and oven beeps All the noises our lives are run by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hannah_Rae, Yes, they usually use the wolf whistle from the time they are weaned as a "Contact call" to see where you are. Their flock then calls back so they know which direction their in and if they are in hearing distance at all. The phone ring means, he put 2 and 2 together that Phone Ring = They come and answer. Broken down it means "Come here!!", not where are you. :-) Just like Kibibis Microwave beep, means come here!! B) Their intelligence and association with things amazes me each and everyday!!!

judygram Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Yeah she probably would, after all she lives with you on a daily basis and I only have to put up with you on this site, ha ha LOL, just kidding Dan, you know I love your wit and humor.:kiss: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danmcq Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 LOL Tracy - Rub it in, rub it in. :-) I still think it is so cool the way the put 2 and 2 together and come up with an answer that makes sense, once you (the dense owner) finally figure out what new logical deduction they have come up with. I am suspecting they have many things such as this, that we just are not paying enough attention to realize that they are actually communicating TONS to us. I am hoping Dayo will stop with the sound and body language soon and just TELL me. :woohoo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I hope he does too Dan, since you are so "dense" :laugh: and I am sure you will tell us when Dayo does do just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tari Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Que does not ring. But she well make a beeping sounds sometimes when I dial the phone and sometimes she well answer it if I have the answering machine off and it rings to long. She'll say hello or Pretty Puppy.(my old dog grooming job she use to go to work with me.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 LOL - Thats funny Tari. :-) It's as if Que is thinking "I wish my servant would answer the phone, okay, this time I will just do it myself".....Hello? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Dan when the phone rings in our house i have 3 of them calling out HELLO HELLO :laugh: I agree with you about putting two & two together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Funny stuff, guys! I love Tari's Que "Pretty Puppy!" Klaus isn't doing anything quite like this yet, except if you count the fake "I fell off my perch! Oh, help!" And we stopped reacting to that pretty quickly - especially when he'd do it at 11 pm and I gotta be up at 5. So he pretty much doesn't do it anymore - another example of how smart they are! If it doesn't get a response, might as well discontinue the behavior... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittykittykitty Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 No one has posted for awhile, but I want to add that Precious rings the phone, caries on a conversation then says 'bye. When the phone does ring she immediately says "Hello." There was a pet shop in nearby Riverside years ago, called B and B Pet Shop. They had a macaw who would answer the phone ring with a "B and--Pet Shop." I'm sure he thought it was superfluous to say "B" twice. kittykittykitty:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zpyder Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 lol!! When Winston was with my mom he would ring the phone and answer it. He was so good at ringing the phone that you would have to look and see if the phone was ringing. The last time I went to visit she told me he would answer on the second ring and so you knew after the third ring it was the phone. While everyone was at work I discovered that this wasn't always true. Sometimes he would ring twice, sometimes three times and sometimes forever. I had to tell my mom that her trick doesn't work anymore :ohmy: . He doesn't ring now, he does the wolf whistle and I whistle back. His lastest sound is a growly sound and I call him the velociraptor :woohoo:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 These responses are cute! When the phone rings my Macaw answers too. She says hello, uh huh, okay, alright bye bye. But she does become persistant I speak to HER! I have to sometimes go in the laundry room or bathroom to have a phone conversation and apologize for the racket! I've had a few business calls where they recognized it was a Macaw's persistance. Others are baffled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nychsa Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 :laugh: :laugh: Dan! Well it looks like Dayo is training you quite well! Now what on earth does it mean when I open the door to the backyard, Bella makes the door opening sound (perfectly - it's frightening!) or when I open the microwave door she makes that door sound :blink: I'm not going to anything - I'm already there! Maybe it's a female bird mind game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 Mel - Thats is cute, but at times I am sure it puts you in an odd position with the calling Party. :-) Nychsa - We didn't come everytime time he "Rang", so he stopped "Ringing" us. Now he whistles for us in the some tones and number of times I do for the dogs to come. :-) But, thats not working for him either, so I would imagine that will stop soon. You asked "Maybe it's a female bird mind game " , maybe she's just adding the sound effects to let you know she's "With You" in your actions. :-) Or, the sound bugs her and she really wishes you would oil those to stop that sound. <br><br>Post edited by: danmcq, at: 2008/07/17 14:53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
