A Vocal Cockatoo Sits at the Window and Barks Like a Dog at the Cars on the Street

My greater sulphur crested cockatoo Triton likes to bark like a dog and I captured this on video. He was barking at the cars driving by from the front window of our apartment. He was barking at the cars driving by from the front window of our apartment.
