According to Mashable, the Moluccan cockatoo has being airing her previous owner’s dirty laundry. Before moving in with Elaine Sigmon and her husband, Peaches lived with a different married couple. The pair ended up getting divorced, and it sounds like the bird had a front-row seat to the marital spats leading up to the split. Sigmon says Peaches is fond of mimicking his previous pet parents, constantly squawking out the couple’s old arguments for her new family. This cockatoo doesn’t just recite the heated feuds, she adds in her own excited gestures as well. Peaches is a natural born actor – now only if she could find some new material. _This_ [_article_](http://www.peoplepets.com/people/pets/article/0,,20900425,00.html?xid=IFT-Trending "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_People.com_](http://www.people.com "undefined")_._ ### 10 Puppies That Look Even More Adorable Underwater  Pringles & Pickme Seth Casteel  Monty Seth Casteel  Popsicle Seth Casteel  Ginger Seth Casteel  Ruger Seth Casteel  Rolley Seth Casteel  Iggy Seth Casteel  Reason Seth Casteel  Corey Seth Casteel ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3704856/cockatoo-mimick-old-owners/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3704856/cockatoo-mimick-old-owners/"},"headline":"This Cockatoo Can't Stop Re-enacting Her Previous Owner's Marital Problems","datePublished":"2015-02-11T15:18:45.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T04:48:03.006Z","description":"The bird adds in her own excited gestures as well","url":"https://time.com/3704856/cockatoo-mimick-old-owners/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Kelli Bender / People"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3704856/cockatoo-mimick-old-owners/","name":"This Cockatoo Can't Stop Re-enacting Her Previous Owner's Marital Problems"}}]}] ```
