Zorba

I have a parrot captive. Since twelve years. Not really by choice - she was a rescue.

Trying to get some work done, I hear her from her outside aviary through the thin walls of my little office building.  She's upset, because it's windy. She wants me to do something about it.

Guess I could take her inside, and then leave the building.

She sounds like this:
WA-WAA!  pause.   WA-WAA!  pause.  WA-WAA!  pause.  WA-WAA!  pause. WA-WAA!
       (This is only medium upset.  She has a bigger sound, too. She does not speak.)

It's a little like water torture, something I have not experienced, but I can imagine.

Her name is Zorba, and she is a Greater Sulfurcrested Cockatoo.
