Hi Vicki,

Yes, I contacted the zoo and they told me that too. I think if people can h=
ear "Chop-chop," it is close enough, because they often get virtually nothi=
ng.

If you think you hear well, go to my bird's site, use the radio button to t=
ake you to the bookpage(Another_Mind). Scroll down to the table and see whe=
ther you can decode the speech. It is all intelligently used English. The a=
verage person gets 2-to-4 %.

Mike and all,

To my ears Chook is clearly saying "chook chook", it is his name
after all, (and is NOT saying chop-chop). At one point he mimics an
Australian male voice saying 'waddaya doin' (translated from Aussie =3D
what are you doing). Other bits of speech are partly obscured by the
calls of other zoo creatures.
