My friends have a budgie. I went over for dinner, and about halfway through, I heard very low, like it was in the back of my head, an NPR voice, speaking very well. It totally creeped me out because I couldn't figure out where it came from and I thought I was the only one hearing it, and it felt like someone whispering in my ear.

It was the budgie. When they left the house they'd turn on NPR for it to listen to, and all its bird calls were Steve Inskeep's voice.
