The Laughing Parrot

I completely forgot about this video up until I started writing about my time in Costa Rica over Christmas vacation. Let me set the scene....

We were staying in this motel type thing that was attached to a family's home. Right next to our room lived a crazy, senile parrot who would sporadically go on talking/chirping/squawking fits. We decided to go talk to it, and my friends, it did not disappoint. As you all know, parrots can repeat what human voices say. Though they don't always do it on command, they definitely have the ability. Well as I began to laugh at this absurd creature, it began to imitate my laugh. Phil Brazell in Hampton's English class has nothing on this parrot! (That was for you Caroline.)

It was too dark to actually seeee anything, but the sound is all you need. There are times you can't even figure out which one of us was laughing. Obviously his imitation spawned even more laughter from me, resulting in laughter mayhem. Make sure your volume is up and enjoy!




P.S. The Laughing Parrot will TOTALLY be the name of my Central American hostel!! YES! (Confused? see two posts ago.)
