Since morning I have been listening to some sweet voices of my parrots they keep on talking and whistling but today I noticed the female one is speaking a bit change. I assume that it's her creation but when I observed she was imitating a birds voice of my neighbours house. I tried to capture it through video to show it to my husband but it stopped when saw me.

Parrots are quite amazing imitators. They have their own calls, of course, but they love copying the sounds they hear around them (and they do it in the wild, as well). Some species are better at it than others and I have heard that, if you keep a pair they are not so likely to imitate, so if you want to teach a parrot to talk, it is best to keep a single bird. Other birds can also imitate (but not as well as parrots). The Mynah bird is one which can be taught to say short phrases quite well.

haha, I hope the neighbors do not scold in vulgar language. Your parrots probably pick up the bad words faster than anything.
