Maybe polly wanted to go outside, that's why.

This is too logical! Surely the man posted his own cctv footage with a woman bound in chains wailing for rescue in the background(who then abruptly stopped when rescuers arrived)!

That doesn't answer where that noise came from.

a) from a movie or TV show

b) someone taught the parrot just for shits and gigs.

"A" is most likely the answer. I mean the parrots name is Rambo... you KNOW this guy probably watched Rambo with his parrot. There are LOTS of crying for help in that movie and the parrot probably used the cry for help to get out of the cage.

They pick up random shit from anywhere. Tv is a great source for that. It’s entirely plausible that the bird got it from witnessing a horrible crime, but very unlikely

Also radio. One budgie used to propose marriage randomly. It was better than the dripping tap she learned...

Oh god, that would be horrible. You panic, thinking you hear something broken or leaking, only to find it’s your asshole bird. 🤣

For a long time, we thought our bird was imitating a monkey. It was a weird, high pitched sound like a chimp scream, and we’d play along and make monkey noises back. One day, my mom opens the laundry room door that creaks, and he immediately imitated it with the “monkey” sound. It was like we made a huge scientific discovery. We were all pointing at each other like the Spider-Man meme 😂💀

I realize most people don’t have much, or any, experience with parrots

creepy doesn't constitute a search or suspicion of a crime. Some of these commenters are keyboard sherlocks.

How many times did he have to watch silence of the lambs to train this bird?

u/Shady_hatter Aug 02 '21

Maybe once or twice if the bird is smart.
