Great! This is called a cockatiel. I have one called Mufasa, and I'm trying to teach him the "Green Hill Zone" theme. Up to now, he can only sing "The lion sleeps tonight" and the Addams Family theme.

My parents have a cockatiel that looks just like this one singing the chocobo music. She can say a few words, sort of; if you know what she's saying, it makes sense. She also whistles in a similar manner (not the chocobo theme though), especially if you put something colorful next to her.

Looks like I have to start training her to sing some video game music next time I'm visiting my parents...

When I was but a young lad, I taught my cockateil how to whistle the La Cucaracha.
