Answer 5

Hi Vincent.

My Parakeet,  Cantona whistles, laughs, coughs, makes a sound like  a seal and irritates the sound of sneakers squeaking on a tile floor.  He also makes sponge noises while enthusiastically rubbing his beak back and forth on his perch as if cleaning it.

I believe he learned these sounds from the TV as I wouldn't even begin to know how to teach him.

Good luck my friend,

CATHORIO.
