In the world of our feathery friends, the undefeated masters of mimicry are the myna birds. They are known for their imitative skills, copying human voices and speaking and talking like humans – this makes them different from the rest.
You may have encountered some mimicking human voices but probably have not seen one quite as adorable as this Abe-chan. He’s making some noise on the internet with his speaking skills.
In his recent video uploaded in YouTube, the talking bird was seen beside the ringing phone.
Then he started speaking but was interrupted by his owner.
The rest of the video (though I don’t really understand what they’re saying) shows the conversation of Abe-chan and his owner regarding telephone protocols.

Literal translation by mdzjdz:
Bird:” ‘Uhm Hello, this is the Ono family.”
Bird: “What’s wrong?”
Owner: “Abe-chan, you’re a little too early. Once the phone’s picked up, then properly say hello.”
Bird: “Okay, understood.”
Owner: “Do you really understand? I’m counting on you. Hello, this is the Ono family residence in Gifu.”]
Bird: “Okay, I understand!”
Owner: “Got it.”
EDIT: Amended some translation errors.
Last 2 years ago, Abe-chan also had a heartwarming conversation with his owner:
Translation by Rocket News:
Abe-chan: Good morning!
Owner: Good morning to you.
Abe-chan: I’m a good boy, aren’t I?
Owner: You sure are. Abe-chan, I’m going out. Can you look after the house?
Abe-chan: Sure.
Owner: Really? You’re amazing. Be good, Abe-chan.
Abe-chan: OK, I will.
It seems like Abe-chan already has a growing number of fans. Why not? He’s cuteness is irresistible.
