This device is similar to the well known Clapper(™), but is tunable to the frequency of a parrot's squawk.

       I can squawk like a parrot pretty well. Plus this would reduce false alarms so I'll give it a bun.

       It should be tunable to a selection of other specific sounds, such as a cat meow, dog whimper or bark, birds (pets or wild), mouse/pest sounds, water faucet running, laundry machines, TV or radio playing, landscapers (mower, leaf blower), mail truck or garbage truck arrival, etc.   

       This is partially baked by water "splash" alarms for swimming pools, and dog "bark stop" devices. But detecting and monitoring sounds would be useful for home automation. Even if one has budgies.
