Today, the car across the street has been broken into so many times that my parrot has started to mimic its car alarm. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I woke up to the sound of my car being stolen. FML
Today, my car was broken into, on the same night I stayed up late researching how to install my new car alarm. FML
Today, my bird learned to mimic my fire alarm. It proved it to me at 3 am. FML
Today, my bird learned how to mimic the fire alarm after my dad has been testing them for the last few months. He now enjoys sounding like a fire alarm anytime I turn the lights off with the other bird joining in. They live in my room. FML
Today, I had finally gotten my dogs to quiet down and my baby to fall asleep. Not thirty seconds later, my neighbor's car alarm went off. They aren't home for the weekend, and the damn alarm has now been blaring for three hours. FML
Today, I learned that my new neighbour's car alarm goes off every time a car drives by blasting loud bass. So far, it's gone off 6 times in the last hour. I can't wait until he's done moving in here, where he and his car will stay for the next year. FML
Today, my car alarm went off during a funeral. Three times. FML
Today, my parrot learned how to imitate my baby's crying. Now, every time the baby cries, the parrot joins in, and it sounds like a chorus of screaming. FML
Today, I learned that my car alarm only goes off if the car is unlocked a bit forcibly. Doesn't make a sound when some prick breaks the window out in the middle of the night to steal my cd player. FML
Today, I was driving my parrot home from the vet. As I was driving home, I decided to let her sit on my shoulder. Something scared her, and she started flapping in my face, causing me to crash my car into a tree. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's actually kinda cool if you think about it

Not so cool when it's 2 in the morning and your parrot won't stop making car alarm sounds

To be fair, at 2 in the morning a bird should be asleep in their covered cage. :P I have an african grey who learned how to make the smoke alarm noise at one point. Not a good time! But at least he got bored with it pretty quickly.

I wish I could say that about mine.

Oh gosh. How would you even begin to stop that?

Start playing cop car sounds near him and put him out side when the car alarm goes off

They have an alarm system as that's what OP said the parrot was mimicking. What that car owner needs is a new place to park that car so nobody breaks into it.

My African grey does the smoke alarm. A lot. They seem to love annoying sounds don't they? The joys of living with a bird....

Holy shit I commented a few seconds ago about my grey...learning the smoke alarm. Are you me? Am I you? Maybe we're two halves of the same exasperated pet owner.

They exceed all your expectations at picking up sounds and phrases you don't want them to, and are even better at ignoring words that you spend months trying to teach them.

38--Haha it is uniquely exasperating to have a grey! Mikko's latest thing has been to answer "woof" to everything you say to him. "Do you want an almond?" "Woof"/"step up" "woof" and so on. And don't even get me started on him mimicking the screaming of the other 7 (and then yelling at them!!). 44--Mikko has heard "I love you" every day of his life and has never said it (and I'm fairly certain he knows it but is just being stubborn). "Boink!" He learned after hearing it 3 times. "How are you?" "I'm good, how are you?" he mastered in a matter of days. And now every morning when he sees you its "good morning! How are you?" And if you don't respond Mikko repeats himself until he gives up and answers himself. Mikko's compliment to people is "you're a good butt" (because he calls himself a grey butt). And those moments make all the annoying alarm sounds worth it!
