He certainly is. I think I'd have just taught it to say a whole bunch of other things along the same vein which were complete nonsense. Then nobody would believe the bird when it said that one. And I think I'd toss in attempts to teach the bird various swear words in multiple languages while I was at it, just because. It would certainly be easier to teach it new phrases than to manage negative conditioning, I think, and even if it only picked up two or three that would be enough.

That could work, yeah. 'Clark Kent is Napoleon!' 'Clark Kent is George Washington Carver!' 'Clark Kent is a small stalk of asparagus!' 'Clark Kent is the garbage man who lives down the street!' Of course, the owner of the bird might start to wonder just why their pet was suddenly so obsessed with Clark Kent...

Nah, not just Clark Kent things. All kinds of random nonsense. 'Chuck Norris is Superman.' Chunks of the Jaberwocky. Bits of Nirvana songs - both what they're meant to say and what they sound like. If he's feeling particularly daring, something as crazy and out there as 'Bruce Wayne is Batman', perhaps, could conceivably work... or, y'know, not. ;P Although 'Clark Kent is a small stalk of asparagus' is pretty funny.

Yeah, I get that he'd want to throw in a bunch of other stuff as well, but he WOULD want to throw in a bunch of 'Clark Kent is' things, because that way the owner of the bird wouldn't get suspicious at that particular accusation among a sea of stuff like 'Napoleon won the Civil War' or 'fruit syrup sinks ships' or whatever.
And thanks. I thought so, too.
