Talking pet (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

parrot

(Other definitions for parrot that I've seen before include "A flighty creature" , "Raucous bird" , "Tropical bird noted for mimicking speech" , "Tropical bird to repeat mindlessly" , "18's [BIRD]" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune.
