So my friends ex wife's brother in law (yeah I know) got a mina bird, I think thats what it is, anyhow he's had it for about three months and it is a talker, whistler, singer, screamer, pooper, mess maker, all the usual bird stuff. So he says he awoke one morning and uncovered the bird and it began saying "Marion" over and over. Marion is his mother who passed away many years ago. He also swears it whistles her favorite song but we have not been able to make anything out of its whistling. I have heard the bird say it but I dont know this guy and have seen situations where he wants attention and throws a fit if he does not get it. My buddy says no way he would do that as he had a huge falling out with his mother and she disowned him and left him out of the will and he never speaks of her. His father remarried and the brother in law speaks of the new wife when asked about his mom. So it's just odd, kinda cool yet a bit creepy because if it's on the level it to me is pretty conclusive proof.
