Once, an African grey parrot was left alone in the house. When the owner came back, the parrot was imitating the phone ringing. It kept doing it until the owner actually checked the phone several times, realizing it was just the parrot's prank.
There was this African Grey Parrot at a pet store. Whenever a customer would come in wearing a hat, it would say 'Take it off!'. It seemed to have a real dislike for hats. One time, a customer with a big cowboy hat came in and the parrot wouldn't stop squawking 'Take it off!' until the customer finally removed his hat, much to everyone's amusement.
An African Grey Parrot called Lucy lived with a family. One time, the family was having a karaoke night. When someone started singing a really high - pitched song, Lucy joined in with the most out - of - tune screeches. It was both awful and extremely funny. The family couldn't stop laughing and from then on, they always included Lucy in their karaoke sessions just for the comical effect.
A family had an African Grey Parrot named Max. Max had a habit of imitating the phone ringing. One day, the family was expecting an important call. Every time the phone actually rang, they thought it was Max imitating it and didn't answer. By the time they realized it was the real phone, they had missed the call. It was quite a comical yet frustrating situation.
An African Grey Parrot in my neighborhood used to imitate the neighborhood dog's barking. But it would add its own parrot - like squawks in between the barks. So it sounded like a really strange hybrid of a dog and a parrot. The first time I heard it, I couldn't stop laughing. It would do this especially when the dog was barking outside its window.
A friend of mine has an African grey. This parrot is a real character. It often mimics the voice of the owner's mother - in - law. When the owner's wife is around, it will start saying things like 'When are you going to clean this mess?' in the mother - in - law's voice, which always causes a lot of laughter in the family.
Sure. There is a story about a little African monkey who thought he could outsmart a crocodile. The monkey told the crocodile that his heart was left on the tree. So the crocodile carried him back to the tree instead of eating him. It shows the monkey's cleverness.
A story about zebras. A zebra family was crossing a river. One young zebra was a bit clumsy and slipped on a wet rock. It ended up falling into the water and was swept downstream a little. The mother zebra was so worried. But then, the little zebra managed to get its footing and swam back to the group. All the zebras then made it safely across the river, and the young zebra seemed a bit more careful on their next crossings.
One African funny short story is about a tortoise and a hare. In an African forest, the hare always boasted of his speed. One day, he challenged the tortoise to a race. The tortoise, being very wise, accepted. As the race began, the hare sprinted ahead and then decided to take a nap. Meanwhile, the slow - but - steady tortoise just kept plodding along. By the time the hare woke up, the tortoise was nearing the finish line. The hare rushed but it was too late. And the tortoise won the race, teaching the hare a lesson about overconfidence.
Here's one. A South African tourist guide once told his group that they were going to see the 'big five' but on the way, his truck broke down. Instead of getting frustrated, he started making up funny stories about how the animals might be coming to rescue them. He described how a giraffe would use its long neck to tow the truck and a hippo would push from behind. His stories had everyone in stitches.
Sure! There's a story about a little African monkey that thought it could outsmart the village elders. It tried to steal some bananas from the market by dressing up in a big hat and a coat. But when it reached for the bananas, the hat fell over its eyes and it tripped over the coat. Everyone had a good laugh.
