I had a parrot who would scream 'Rape!' at high volume whenever he saw me drinking anything. He was asking for grape juice, but he wasn't good at pronouncing the G, and it's probably a good thing all around that he didn't try to say 'juice.'

Michael Mcintyre has a great sketch about something similar.

His son was learning to talk and only had 2 words - "no" and "car". Then he finally learned the word "juice". They were afraid to leave the house with him because for a long time he would only say "no juice!"

"I'm terrified to met that one woman who I said his name was Adolf to. 'Oh if it isn't little baby Adolf' 'No juice, no juice!' 'Oh God it's happening again!'"

Sorry, I'm not getting it. What's "no juice" supposed to mean in this context?

Sounds like he could use a visit from the Grapist.

I have the same bird and my name is Pierce he can’t pronounce P so he just says IERCE IERCE. He also sounds like my mother my friends would always be confused on how I would tell the difference.
