That is certainly a talented parrot that you recorded. I have heard
some amazing tales of the powers of mimicry possessed by parrots, but to
imitate a whole orchestra in tune, along with Mickey Mouse singing
"Largo al factotum..." is truly unbelievable. In all seriousness, that
sounds like a doctored recording in which you've sped up the vocal track
while leaving the instruments untouched -- or is it merely a novelty
recording in which a castrato sings the title role?
