I babysat for people who had a mynah bird. It would
imitate everyone’s voices perfectly. Little Johnny
would let me know he was awake by standing up and
rocking his squeaky baby bed. I went to his room & he
was asleep. I went back to reading. Johnny squeaked
his bed. He was still asleep! I then realized it was the
mynah bird imitating the squeaky bed!
