The Parrot

Saturday, January 28th, 2012

I picked up this parrot from Wacko (a store in LA).

It can store up to 31 different samples, and play them back randomly when the microphone picks up enough noise.  My dog hates it, and when she barks at it, it will start its random playback of various sounds that I have recorded into it. For example “ruff ruff ruff!!!” It also flaps its wings and moves its beak as it talks back. It totally rocks when you get it beat boxing.

Here are the bends I have found so far.

The pitch dial makes a darth vader style playback. The chance trigger seems to make a glitchy high pitched loopy sound. I put it back together because I got a speak and read, and wanted to work on that. So I will be tearing into this one soon. I will post sounds and pics as soon as she is all bent up.
