Yes! Voice mimickry is actually common amongst multiple clown breeds but the clown breed that has the ability to "parrot" best is the Jester breed, more specifically the Court Jester sub-breed although you'll find that their wild counterpart, the Wandering Jester, is just as talented at it! They are the most natural at mimicking human voices and can be trained to say things or even mimic specific sounds much like a parrot! Other breeds can be trained to do this to a certain extent but none come close to the perfection of the mimicry quite like the Jester. Scary clowns will try to mimic words but will do so in a purposefully uncanny manner, never quite enunciating the words.

A Y2K Frutiger Aero style clown for your clown characater design needs

the Carny fandom is a sub group within this world's Furry fandom. Much like how our world has Scalies who are into reptiles and Avians who have bird fursonas, in the world of Clownology where clowns are considered animals we have Carnies. The Carny fandom is very passionate about clowns both as animals and as pets, with many owning atleast one clown pet and educating others on clown pet care. Many have clownsonas where, much like a fursona, they have characters that are a specific clown breed with a unique phenotype that they themself have designed. You may find Carnies gathered together in their own corners of Furry conventions, sharing art, clown snacks, and talking about their OCs, painted like their clownsonas!

oh wow that sounds wonderful! :D Y'know I actually considered making an rpg maker game for Clownology myself at one point (a surreal adventure game kinda like Hylics!) but this sounds very cool. You're free to use any of the lore and I appreciate the credit. You can even alter any lore if you feel the need to because Clownology is inspired by clown husbandry which is more of a shared community project/lore/inside joke(?) anyhow. sorry for the late reply, I hadn't checked on this month in a hot minute but thankyou for letting me know of your project! :)

Jesters are a classic clown breed, they've been beloved by humans for ages so a wonderful pet choice! they're very playful and active and will even learn what you're into to use for their tricks. They are a little noisy on account of the jingling bells and mimicking or parroting but for a beginner I think a Court Jester is great! They're easy to take care of, not needing too many special treatments, so you can follow the same care guides as for Carnival or Circus clowns if you need help. Scary or Spooky clowns are a bit harder to care for on account of them being carnivores and usually bigger in size (although there are smaller variants that you may find from breeders nowadays but they tend to be expensive and not always ethically bred :( ). If you're okay with ocassionally getting jumpscared by finding your scary clowns where it doesn't belong or silently stalking you at odd hours of the day and night then I suppose you can probably learn as you go considering there aren't too many care guides out there for the breed unfortunately. Personally, I recommend a Court Jester. and remember to adopt rather than buy!

it is :o) you should try some, it tastes,,,, a lil funny but otherwise very joyful and addicting

absolutely, great theory! although this does make me think of something funny like a clown learning that if they hold up a phone playing subway surfer, that'll be enough to hold some gen alpha kid's attention lol

Woah I haven't checked on this blog in months! sorry to all y'all who actually like my clown lore, I'm studying and tbh I got a little burnt out and busy and haven't been able to draw in a hot sec, I've been passively worldbuilding other stuff (unrelated to clowns, some cambrian era inspired dark fantasy stuff) so unfortuantely I kind of neglected and stopped working on any Clownology stuff. But it's wild to me that my inbox is full of people still fascinated by what I have to offer, I'll answer some questions and maybe when I have the time and energy I'll doodle something new :o)
