I saw this one too....reminded me of my Joey. He drops the “f” bomb anytime something new is happening, particularly new people in the house, like repairmen.
Hopefully the owners were able to get him down.

Yep, he's back home but I hope he isn't restricted to his cage for bad behaviour - he obviously was just enjoying a bit of freedom but did eventually return to his guardian.

Never imagined the very limited budgie vocabulary was such a good thing!

Budgies are underestimated regarding their speaking ability. They have amazing abilities. Look up Disco the talking budgie. He was awesome.

Well, maybe I should have said, "Never imagined the very limited vocabulary of my budgies' was such a good thing!"

Great article. Crows are fascinating and there are so many stories of their cognitive abilities as well as their gift giving.
