Ever watched a trained parrot? Birds imitate all kinds of sounds. Doubtless a cell phone ring is in the avian call repertoire. The Lyre bird can perfectly mimick lots of man-made sounds: camera shutter, camera with a motor drive, car alarm, chainsaw. http://youtube.com/watch?v=VjE0Kdfos4Y http://youtube.com/watch?v=VjE0Kdfos4Y
