True. I lived in the back of a reptile house and we had a parrot in a cage.
I would sing as I worked, and the parrot imitated my singing. It wasn't pretty. The parrot would probably agree.
I haven't worn a watch in over 20 years. Watches always - sans exception - died on my way before their time. And no. It wasn't because of dead batteries. Once I got a cell phone? I did not need a watch to keep track of time.
