They could also be useful alarms for the inside of one's house.
Excellent idea, good going.
Some how I am think of the what you call them, Fur baby's that was such a big fad 8 or so years ago.
Darn things we had a couple and so did everyone I knew. We would bring them to work and at lunch set them on a table in the Cafeteria and they would all talk to each other, some gibberish some actual words, unfortunately a couple taught most of the others to say Screw you or some other really interesting words. What fun, my baby's only learned to say words I had to shout at the dog, "stop it"
or "bad dog".
I will have to go a hunting in the back room to see if I still have them. Anyway, I believe they cost me $10 bucks each when they first came out and later that year they were going for $50.00.
For the real thing, my bird in 10 years has never done anything but sing. In the past I have had half moon conjures that were good birds, smart but they never learned to say a word even as I put on bird training tapes and tried to train them with sunflower seeds.
So I ask the bird people, do your birds speak, did you train them or were they talkers when you got them?
I know it is the male canary that teaches his boys to sing, in the world of other breeds of birds do female parrots talk ?
I do think I will get a couple of these instant Polly's to keep my bird company, and wait for the technology that went into the fur baby's to get to the instant Polly's, and teach my bird to talk.
