I met a sulphur-crested cockatoo who had grown up on a farm, and could doa very passable rendition of the farm dogs' barking. But yup, he didn't sound a bit like the farmer's wife calling the dogs. Still sounded like a cockatoo. Must have had trouble with the accent. I've been told that the Australian accent is difficult for non-Australians to get right. Probably applies to parrots too.
