I hope the alarm doesn't go off at 2:30 again tonight. Going from fast asleep to 100MPH in .25 seconds is hardon ya.

We have a parrot that normally gets fed at 7:30 or so every morning. She gets mad and squawks if we sleep in without giving her breakfast but we ignore it.
Then one day she figured out that she could set off the glass breakage alarm by dropping one of her food cups on the edge of her cage skirt and we couldn't ignore THAT. 
We now make it a habit to make sure that there are no unsecured cups on her cage when we go to bed. 
ETA: So HABU, what set it off? |

My brother has an African Gray. That bird could probably mimic breaking glass if it heard it once. It has a serious repertoire.
It was the shop motion sensor that wen't off. The house alarms are set to go off when the shop has a breach, but the house keypads won't turn it off.  I need a little reconfiguration. I don't know why it went off. The door was locked and I couldn't find any cobwebs hanging from the motion sensor. Light won't set it off, but I wonder if a laser would.

Mice and moths are the first things that come to mind. ETA: Leave it to 1GR to summarize it in the gayest possible way
