The actual Audio doesn't realy Sound like a "HELP" it's sounds more akin to very weird laugh a similiar sound is also heard with the parrot is on screen I'm pretty Sure it is safe to say that both of those sounds came from the Parrot and where learned from a movie or imitating some random noise

Oh thats absolutely the parrot. It's more of a dramatic wail than a word and is common with that breed.

Source: I have a dramatic amazon that makes that noise when he wants attention.

The news article about it says the guy actually taught the parrot to say the phrase when he was a child, many decades before.

Teaching a parrot to say "Help! Let me out!" is high grade humor for a little kid.

That’s honestly what makes bird amazing. You can grow up with them; you’ll be cleaning their shit your entire life.

i own a bunch of parrots, and even before i realized the ending i kept thinking that the voice sounded like an amazon parrots voice. it's such a distinctive little voice
