This cockatoo keeps imitating her divorced owners' fights

Once or twice a day, Peaches the Moluccan cockatoo becomes very chatty.

And while you can't make out the words, it’s clear from the intonation - and the aggressive body language - that the conversation she's imitating isn't exactly a friendly one. Her owners believe she is imitating what she heard at her previous home - where the couple got divorced.

Speaking to the Huffington Post, Peaches' new owners say they find her reenactments of another couple's marital strife "hilarious". Elaine Sigmon of North Carolina explains how it happens:

"We had Peaches for several days when one afternoon she began ranting and raving as if blessing someone out," she said.

"My husband, Don, was sitting in the chair near her perch and she began to aggressively point her head toward him just like someone pointing their finger while arguing ... We're not sure what she is saying, but she is really giving her opinion."
