A hilarious video has emerged of a Cockatiel singing the well-known iPhone ringtone melody to perfection, leaving us wondering why these birds are so good at mimicking sounds. This video is the perfect proof that these feathered impersonators are master copycats of sound!

Ben Pluimer filmed this funny video of his friend’s Cockatiel Lucky mimicking the famous iPhone ringtone melody to perfection. Owner explains that whenever Lucky gets upset, he sings an Apple ringtone which usually happens when owner ties their shoes and gets ready to leave the house! Adorable!

Lucky the Cockatiel has come up with a clever way to let his family know when he’s displeased, by singing a familiar sound. This sweet video is capturing the hearts of people around the world! Watch how perfectly this adorable bird mimics the iPhone ringtone to persuade owner Mike McCafferty from leaving the house.

It is no secret that pets suffer from separation anxiety when their owners leave them at home for the day. Some cry, paw, or give their best puppy eyes to try and persuade their humans to stay, but this Cockatiel's tactic is to impersonate one of its owner's favorite things, his cell phone.

This incredible talent doesn’t come as a surprise. Almost all pet parrots bond with one person for life. Pair members imitate each other's calls and come up with their own special talk, kind of like the way human partners do. Pet parrots mimic human speech and other noises because they're trying to be a good mate! This explains everything!

Apparently, the cockatiel is associating the ringtone as something their "mate" is saying and copying that seems naturally. This makes sense! As far as the bird is concerned, the sound coming from the phone is indistinguishable from the owner himself. Parrots will imitate random sounds in their environment, and in this case the ringtone has a strong association with the owner.
