A video of a cockatiel singing the famous iPhone ringtone melody has us wondering why these birds are so good at mimicking sounds they wouldn’t normally hear in their natural environment. Come to think of it, why are these feathered impersonators such copycats in the first place? Is it because he can get easily upset so that singing a random melody helps him beat his anxiety or is it because he sings it for the sake of it? It is a catchy melody after all and one of those that sticks to your head for a long time. Watch as this entertaining Cockatiel mimics an iPhone ringtone to perfection! You'll have to watch it twice to believe it!

This exotic bird gives a pitch perfect performance using the Apple ringtone as a perfect melody on which he builds its own singing. And his singing is perfect, he absolutely nails it. This is actually not the first video with a cockatiel imitating the same melody. There are many birds of the same breed that sing the same melody to perfection. Is it this song in particular or something else that drives these birds to sing? Being a pet parrot means bonding with one person and most of the time, they can bite anyone else who get close to this person regarding them as their mates. Pet parrots mimic human speech and other noises because they’re trying to be a good mate.

So, in this video it is highly probable that the cockatiel is associating the ringtone as something his “mate” is saying—and it’s copying him. As far as the bird is concerned, the sound coming from the phone is indistinguishable from the owner himself. But still one question remains unclear and that is how this bird is able to sing this song so well.
The answer is that cockatiels have very well-developed sound-producing organs—the syrinx—which allows them to make a wide variety of sounds, whether its a ringtone or even a human voice.

This sweet cockatiel has perfected the art of getting everybody’s attention: by imitating an iPhone. This colorful pet parrot performs a spot-on rendition of the iPhone default ringtone. It was the cutest thing we have seen all week and we believe it will be the same for all who watches this video.

Another funny video with a cheerful cockatiel has emerged and it is worth watching it. The heartwarming footage shows the playful bird trying to impress its canine companion by singing. It is adorable to watch Yuzu flaunt its angelic voice, much to our amusement but not to Teko’s delight. Listen to Yuzu’s singing, and decide for yourself whether you’ll fall for its charm! The funny thing is that the more Yuzu follows Teko’s move, the more the dog tries to get away from the annoying bird that won’t stop cheering! Hilarious!

Teko seems to be a very bitter dog, since he does not like to be disturbed while doing some of his daily activities, but Yuzu is an enthusiastic bird that likes to sing and has the hope that Teko will be a good singing partner. We can see how Teko tries to get as far away as possible from Yuzu, he even tries to hide under the table, but Yuzu is an intelligent bird and does not give up, he wants to fulfill his dream of being a famous singer. Teko, do not be bitter, dance to Yuzu’s melody!
