      Wild parrots have parrot accents. Different members of the same species but from different regions sound slightly different.
      It’s most pronounced in monk/Quaker parrots, which have been introduced to a great many regions outside of their native Argentina. They’re quite cold-hardy, enabling them to survive in cities as far north as New York and London. And these different populations of Quaker parrot have different accents from the ones back in Argentina.

    Fun fact: Corvids like ravens and crows can talk, too. And they are even better at mimicking people than parrots, to the point where they can sound exactly like a person. A famous example is Fable the raven on TH-cam. She normally only says things like "Mwah," "boop boop," or "Hi, Fable" in a near identical voice to her keeper (British accent included). But one time while she was in her enclosure she heard a distant rooster call and exclaimed "what the f*ck!"
    Other animals with remarkable mimicry include beluga whales who have told people to "get out" of their tanks, lyrebirds who can mimic everything from chainsaws to laserguns, and one seal who managed to mimic the speech patterns of a man who he bonded with.

    my family owns an entire aviary of like 15 budgies but the oldest and first one we got is a little guy named Perky. He's the most intelligent bird we've ever come across, and he's such a joy to have around. Anyway, one of the most common phrases in my household is "would you like a cup of tea?" and when we had Perky inside the house he started to say it. It became part of his vocabulary and one night I got up to get a drink of water, I passed by his cage and heard a small voice say "cuppa tea?". It scared the hell out of me (I was half asleep) and it took me a sec to realise that there was in fact no weirdo inside the home and just a young budgie chittering away at 1 in the morning.

    My brother has a rescue African Grey, and their old flat was on the route to and from the work of a guy with verbal tourettes ticks. Dante, the parrot, soon picked up the chap's clicks and whistles etc so at the exact time the guy was walking past every day, Dante would go to the window to try and "chat" with him. Unfortunately you can't see to the upstairs window from the street so he thought there was some horrible twat in there mocking him! After a few weeks of this he kinda snapped and started hammering on the door, totally ready to have it out with what he assumed was a nasty bully... Thankfully, once my mortified brother explained that it was a parrot, the chap fell about laughing 😂 After that he'd always shout up a hello to Dante on his way past, wholesome!

    Last year while I was visiting family in the states, my mom stayed with my lovebird, a tiny mango of a bird. One day, she was walking her dogs and forgot to close the cage. Next thing you know I woke up with a message of my mom telling me that my bird was chasing her around the house when she found him walking around as if he owned the place. And he was chasing her with the intent to bite. A bird the size of my hand chasing my mom.

    When my dad was in the Navy, he served aboard HMS Lancaster. And aboard HMS Lancaster, they had a parrot. Now one day, they held a dinner for the Duchess of Lancaster, who happened to be the Queen. The parrot was there too. As a joke, the Queen asked the parrot to give a speech. However, the parrot was originally kept down with the stokers, so rather than say “Pretty polly,” it spake a string of expletives it had probably learnt from its original owners right in front of the Queen.

    My grandfather had a cockatiel named Percy who, at complete random, would perfectly, and loudly, emulate the ring of a very old telephone. Then, when my grandfather died, my dad took him in, and we realised that he did it at night, too. We weren’t warned about that.
    Edit: Also, my father knows an owner of a small pet shop who was asked if he would buy an African grey for a ridiculously low price. It was perfectly healthy, but just as he was about to close the deal on the bird, which he mostly would have kept as an in-store pet of sorts, like he did with another little cockatiel, the bird let out a string of what he described as the most foul cursing that he’d ever heard in his life, which, considering where we come from, is saying a lot. The owner was trying to get rid of the bird in any way they could because nobody would buy it with all of the cursing that it did, apparently. Naturally, one cannot have a swearing bird as one of your shop’s pet birds and he had to decline.

We asked what happened to the second bird. He killed her. My sister got a replacement girlfriend and he killed that one too. It made sense why the landlord was scared of him.
    He enjoyed watching murder documentaries. Would get very upset if you changed the channel to anything else. Was especially happy when knives were mentioned in conversation or on the TV. He knew how to get out of his cage. I woke up one morning to him standing over me, staring. He was known to enjoy biting and drawing blood from people.

    As a parrot owner, seeing this vid brings me immense joy! But also as a parrot owner, here’s a few of my own contributions.
    My green cheek conure Spec chants ‘I’m gonna getchu’ when he’s mad, meanwhile laughing maniacally, marching around and biting anything that moves, especially feet. He has three types of laugh, all of which are horrifying and two of which mean he will attack.
    My eclectus parrot Crim says all sorts of things, but the weirdest has got to be when she says stuff like ‘bloody hell’, and ‘I tried I tried I tried I tried’ in the voice of a demonic sounding man (there are no men living in my house), as opposed to her usually soft, sweet voice. Also the word ‘apple’ is banned in my house unless there is one getting given to the birds, as if she hears it, she will start saying it over and over until she gets it. She also yells out ‘what are you dooooooooing?!!!!’ and lots of her own made up variations of it, as well as peekaboo. She says ‘peekaboo’ differently almost every time, generally something like ‘peekpeekpeekpeekabooooooo!!!’, constantly adding more ‘peek’s. Similar thing with ‘pretty bird’, where she could say up to like 15 ‘pretty’ before getting to ‘bird’.

Anyway, he had a weird lexicon, like he'd say a phrase one time and then seldom say it again (if ever). The weirdest one was, "Would you like fries with that?"

    Here's my additional stories:
    My quaker Kiwi (over used name I know) learned what "come here" means but doesn't exactly know how to use it correctly. So he'll yell "come here! Kiwi come!" at his perch when it's too far away. Or he'll say it to his food while he climbs his way to his bowl.
    He also has the low manly voice thing, which he uses sometimes to practice words or mumble unintelligibly.
    He's invented his own version of "human speech." He'll mix random consonants and vowels of our language together to make new words. He will speak whole sentences made up of these "words" and applies tone perfectly. (He goes down in pitch at the end of a sentence.) He likes to sprinkle in some random, actual words he learned too. Recently he's learned how to apply the tone of a question, followed by that of an answer. So he'll go: "De de ki good bo kikiwi? Heh? ... doopepe ohh boy bye."
    When the phone rings he'll do impressions of my mom's "Okayyy~ bye~" thing she always does before she hangs up.
    He tried to learn happy birthday but gets confused in the middle: "Happy birdy to you. (2x) Happy birdear toooo you. Happy birdy to you."
    When he gets tired and wants us to cover his cage for the night, he'll angrily yell "SLEEP WELL!"

    My aunt got a cockatoo from a friend. I was there when the cockatoo and sun conure were dropped off. The cockatoo talked and seemed super friendly, so the next day, she was playing with her in the bedroom upstairs. I woke up to “hello, pretty bird, *wolf whistles*, *laughing*” and was excited because I had never known anyone with a parrot of any kind before. So I went in her room to see the bird and my aunt invited me to sit on the bed with them. I did and we started talking about the day. As we talked, the burst started climbing up my arm. Now, I’m overweight and always have been (working on it) so my arms are… thinker. So the arms of my shirts were tighter, especially towards my shoulders. So when she bit down on me while climbing, I thought it was an accident and my aunt and I laughed it off. She made the most evil laugh and my aunt and I joked about that, brushed it off as just sounding that way because she has to use her beak to climb and had a mouthful of night shirt sleeve, before going back to what we were talking about. By this point, she’s on my shoulder. She starts swaying back and forth like she’s about to do a dance… then she attacked me and bit my lower eye/upper cheek. My aunt got her off of me and the Damn bird started doing that evil laugh again. Since she didn’t draw any blood, she was put away and I got dressed then my aunt took a look at it while explaining to her husband what happened. He was upset the bird would do that un provoked. A couple weeks to a month later, she went back to the people my aunt got her from because she wasn’t adjusting well. She started ripping her feathers out and making herself a bloody mess, refused to eat, and just screamed all day. So attacking me may have been the first signs of her being stressed, idk. I just know I hate anyone named Bianca now because of that bird lol

    My mom’s parrotlet knows exactly when to laugh. He recognizes when we’re speaking in a jokey tone and that us talking that way tends to correlate with that sound, so he ends up laughing at our jokes a lot. He also sometimes runs off when you try to pick him up and laughs while holding his wings slightly up (still folded at his sides, but raised a little).
    I also used to work at pet store that had a few animals there that were the owner’s pets and always stayed there. Two of these are a cockatoo named Jasper and an Amazon named Roscoe and their cages are right by each other. Roscoe is mostly pretty stoic and chill but Jasper is…. pretty much just a big baby. Jasper will get excess energy or just too much stimulation and start just screeching. Really ear piercing screeching, too. When Jasper gets going, Roscoe will often go “Jasper…. stop…” in an exasperated voice.
    An African grey at a zoo I used to do volunteer work at also learned my name because I’d often just look at him and he’d move closer and look back at me and a zookeeper noticed and would often repeat my name to him a few times. So one day another zookeeper and volunteer were working in the area he’s in and just suddenly heard my name. He apparently made it into one of his common phrases and said it quite a bit from then on. So there’s a parrot that will just randomly say my name sometimes even after I’m gone (had to move, would still be volunteering there otherwise).

    I can never decide whether to be bummed or relieved that my green cheek conure absolutely refuses to learn how to say anything. He mimics the sound of me giving him kisses when he's happy, which is cute, but not once in nine years has he ever uttered so much as the hint of a word.

    The parrot in my house used to scream my name and my brother's, imitating my parents'voices to confuse everyone. She stopped doing it, but she also has it in for our pet rabbit. She will lunge at him, but he knows he's too quick for her. She also wants to use his cardboard box hideout as a nest and attacks you if you try to get her out. She also came to us already having learned to make a screech that sounds almost like a fire alarm. We have to explain that whenever someone new comes to the house.

    I once had this Amazon parrot, he would constantly yell unless someone was looking at him, sort of like a "wAhh" sound, but any time the phone would ring, he would drop everything he was doing to respond with a quiet "hello?" Also at night he would mimic the sound of either a door creaking or a toddler whining (I couldn't tell), so I would just sit there at night listening him going "eeeEEhhhhhh" all night long.

    One of my most liked comments was on your video "Twitter thinking they were on mute" where I talked about my parrot ominously chanting my name (what she does when she wants attention), so I felt like this was the perfect video for me!
    I'll share another funny story: My parrot met my family for the first time shortly after I got her. What I did not know was that my sister was terrified of parrots (particularly parrots, she had been fine with other birds, no one knew she was scared of parrots). My parrot was very excited to be with everyone, so she took off and landed on my sister's head. Everyone burst out into massive laughter and then my sister started screaming. I got my parrot away from her, but now, even years later, my parrot starts screaming like she's being murdered whenever multiple people start laughing or when she gets very excited.

    I don’t personally own any parrots, but my school has two in their animal lab. They are both insane, but in different ways. One likes to offer a handshake, but he never lets go and he will try to bite you if you resist. The other one tries to eat your lunch, does not like shoelaces, and perches at the top corners of his cage and screams at passerby.

    He did a lot of strange things, but the funniest he's done so far in my opinion is probably when he began to scream and squawk about birthday bread. I still have yet to figure out what he was talking about.

    My parrots' vocabulary is pretty cute. Most of the time theyll say "holaaaa" but they learnt it wrong and instead yell "OAAA". They also laugh like that one video of the parrot coming out of the door, since weve been showing them that video for them to learn the laugh. When we feed them, they start singing along the song "Everybody likes bananas"
    As I said, their vocabulary is cute, they, on the other hand, will bite you given the chance

Their African Grey has noticed and now randomly makes pretty convincing fart noises.

    I worked at a parrot store and we had an amazon for sale that very clearly shouted "motherfucker!" several times a day which always got laughs. I'm sure thats why he loved saying it, for the reactions and attention.
    My favorite thing a bird said was this female african grey, who said "you're all wet" in a man voice when i picked her up after I used the sink without drying my hands.
    I also have birds at home, and the worst thing is my quaker makes human like chewing and swallowing sounds in my ear when I'm eating/drinking. I cant stand chewing sounds 🥲
    Also my macaw came to me with a shady past and lots of issues, and he used to scold himself "Bad bird! Bad bird!" but over time I taught him "good boy" instead. Twice he has pinched my arm real hard and said "good boy!" I cant even be mad when he's telling jokes 😂
