Want your very own R2-D2, but don't have the funds to afford one? Just get yourself a parakeet!

This video hit YouTube last summer and shows a parakeet named Bluey mimicking the sounds of 'Star Wars'' beloved droid, R2-D2.

What's even more amazing is that Bluey's owners claim they only showed the bird a few 'Star Wars' clips before it picked up R2-D2's sounds.

Growing up, my folks owned a pet store, which meant we had a lot of pets, including a parrot. The parrot somehow picked up a lot of offensive sayings, probably from some of the employees at my folks store. Either way, it made for a hilarious childhood.
