Boisterous Cockatoo Hilariously Imitates Cats and Dogs

A beautiful and quite boisterous citron crested cockatoo named Jewel was hilariously meowing like a cat in her Cape Town, South Africa yard when a neighborhood dog somewhere barked, so then Jewel then started barking like a dog in response. Jewel does this so often, that her humans aren’t quite sure what to expect from their vocal bird from day to day.

My identity crisis is definitely confusing to the momsters. …Need to show the neighborhood dogs who’s boss around here.
