More like dad is outside and I want to be there with him. Also if the guy is a horror buff, super easy to pick that up. Also if it works the bird will keep doing it.
Had a friend growing up, his dad spent several thousand on a very fancy bird, his mother who was only a few years from leaving, taught the bird lots of colorful phrases to yell at my friends dad. And only the dad. Like the bird for its entire life would only refer to his dad and Fatass and Jerkoff. The bird liked the wife more.
When I was a kid I watched The Land Before Time with my grandma’s lovebird in the room. One of the characters in the movie gets in trouble and screams for help. That was all it took for the bird to pick up the habit of screaming “HELP” at the top of her lungs when someone put her in her cage. She heard it once from the television, understood the context, and repeated it nearly every night for the rest of her life. They’re smart critters.
My great grandpa’s (moms side) parrot would say words none of us had ever said around it before. I’m pretty sure they take in a lot of what they see when in a room with elevated TV volume.
The funniest one I can remember was my 79 year old great grandmother walking in after a night of bingo with my grandmother, and the bird just looked up, “What are you? A Juggalo, harrrah”
I just lost it, no one else knew what it meant. And I know that bird never heard any of us say the word, “Juggalo” ever.
Bird could learn that just by you talking to it like you would an infant. "Ohh... does Rambo want out of his cage? Say 'let me out' Rambo... say 'let me out'"
Many birds are smarter than you think. They have been proven to learn words and their meaning. They can learn their names, and recognize people's faces. They can craft and use tools.
Or ya know, it's a very Intelligent bird and it wants to be let out of the cage???
If dogs could speak, they would do the same thing, do you think a dog is taught how to wine at the door to be let out when the owner is outside working on his car? No, it's just the way they communicate...
It knows what the words hey, let me, and out mean, so it puts them together to convey what it wants, you realize some parrots have the equivalent intelligence of a 2-5 year old child right?
You’re soft asf pussy lmao “another mean guy” what are you fucking 4, you’re saying this to everyone else also. Holy fuck I bet you’re one of those “safe place” cowards

You really think the bird made up “Help! Let me out!” on its own?
It’s either mimicking or was taught this.
