Some birds say, "Hello." But Bluey the budgie has a better trick. He mimics R2-D2 from "Star Wars" -- all beeps, blurps and laser sounds.

A YouTube video of Bluey's vocal antics has been making the rounds on the Internet this week. (About 755,000 views and counting as of this writing.) In the explanation, Bluey's owner writes:

"We played R2-D2 sounds off YouTube to him four or five times and a few days later our daughter came running in saying he was doing R2-D2. we were blown away that he picked it up so quickly! The other budgies in his cage started copying him but could only manage a few seconds at a time."

And it seems Bluey's so R2D2 chatty that his owner says, "now he drives us crazy! He has two other budgies in his cage, and I think he's driving them crazy too!"
