I find this very moving. It creates an immediate connection.
To think that an animal can be this responsive - not 'hard proof' of self awareness, but I find it hard to imagine a being that is this skillful that wouldn't be self aware in some way.
We've come a long long way from Descartes and his ideas of animal automata.
This is awesome, magical even! To know that this is the voice of a parrot is so delightful. We have 4 Amazon parrots who all love listening to this and we have high hopes they'll imitate someday.

Thanks for sharing this story. I'd like to know more about the story. It is intriguing to consider the possibility that the parrot is still with us.
