STAR WARS: Budgie Looks and Sounds Like R2-D2
RD-D2 from Star Wars is the kind of robot buddy anyone would love to have. Carli Jeffrey, owner of a bird named Bluey, played just a few YouTube videos of R2-D2 to the family budgie. Bluey now makes cool R2-D2 sounds all day long, so yes, it's driving the family a little crazy.
We taught Bluey the budgie how to do R2-D2 and now he drives us crazy! He has two other budgies in his cage, and I think he's driving them crazy too!
Bluey was our first budgie and our seven-year old daughter hand-raised him. He has always been a curious bird, he was really intrigued by our voices and the cockatoos we have in our garden - he even copied the noise the crested pigeons make when they take off. We played R2D2 sounds off Youtube to him four or five times and a few days later our daughter came running in saying he was doing R2D2. We were blown away that he picked it up so quickly! The other budgies in his cage started copying him but could only manage a few seconds at a time. Bluey also loves making lazer sounds, the R2D2 scream sound, kissing sounds, and he whispers English jibberish we can only make out a few words.
