Great story! Very smart bird (and owner).

I read a similar story a few years ago where the bird (I forget what kind) started immitating a phone answering machine. Between mimicking the rings, beeps and clicks, he rattled off his phone number. The person who found the bird called the number and reunited the bird with his owner. Turns out, the bird's cage was located very near the phone. So, he was used to hearing the phone message over and over and had loved to repeat it.
