mockingbirds and starlings pick up human sounds sometimes (cellphone rings were first reported back in 2001).

I once heared a tiny blue canary in a zoo do the running water of a creek... it was incredible.

nerdy biology fact; many birds have a bifurcates (split) trachea and can control both sides of their syrinx (voicebox) independently, allowing these birds to make two sounds at once, and to complicate the sound of their calls by going from one side to the other.

awesome post, by-the-way.

I remember seeing that program on TV, and never found the clip of the bird. Thanks very much!

Awesome bird, wonder if it could be taught to mimic a human voice?

Absolutely mindblowing. I laughed with disbelief when it did the motorised camera noise. If it wasn't Dave Attenborough, I'd find it very hard to believe it wasn't fake.
