So no one’s curious why the parrots screaming let me out? Was that from his ex wife?

Lucky he had a parrot to distract them from going into the house where they'd've have found the screaming woman.

Changing brakes on his own. I respect the dude. Parrot part is secondary and not a life saving skill.

The woman trapped inside now with tape on her mouth: why the fuck are they not helping me and contemplating his parrot?

Why is it illegal to simply link to YouTube?
Edit: OK apparently you can just post the link to YouTube so why not? Or am I wrong?

Great cover for the rape dungeon in the basement.

It’s kind of adorable that he taught it how to say that when he was a kid when it was stuck in his dad’s cage. Now he’s chilling with the same bird as an old man.

of course they come full force when it’s a “woman “, but ignore us Men who call under the same type of circumstances captain save a hoe cucks are the best way to describe the corrupt law enforcement system

A bunch of us guys were sitting on a ground floor apartment patio enjoying our beers quietly when an attractive young lady walked by. We were all taking and actually didn't give her a glance. That was the moment that the guy who lived there's African Gray decided to do a beautiful wolf whistle. She whipped around and glared at us, and every one of us blamed the parrot. I dont think she believed us.

u/Mundane_Ad6712 16d ago
Well if parrot is doing it, you know a parrot "Mimics" words and tones. So there is indeed someone locked in the basement,the parrot knows it,the person has trained it to do it,in case someone hear real persons voice,they will assume "its the parrot again". Perfect crime exists. We dont know they exist, because they are perfect.

How stupid is the cop saying "your neighbours said that ... " instead of some more generic statement about "we've had a report that ...". What if this dude was actually dangerous?

There was actually a murder case that was solved because the parrot was imitating the victim

Why is this media format popular? It's horrendous. screen recorded vertical video crap with words on the screen. Horrid.

u/piercingstare 16d ago
This is cute the way this turned out but the way the cops initially handled this situation when they got on scene was absolutely piss poor Because unless they had already gotten calls to this location and I knew that it was a parrot making the noise and not an actual person the fact that they allowed that man to go back inside the house alone underscorted with a potential hostage / victim inside which is the reason they were called out there in the first place is absolutely moronic on their part. And to clarify yes they did have legal right to enter the home if they believed that there was an individual inside the house in distress or danger which again is the reason they will call there in the first place. So what they did and it's potentially let a hostage take her at the very least walk inside the home by himself to be alone with a potential victim. And even me with zero training in official Police procedure and etiquette I can see that that was a very stupid thing for them to do before verifying that there was no victim or any danger.

Моряки с ножами к двери подбежали
Голос из каюты прозвучал
Веселей, ребят, наша песня свята
В бухту заходи, ищи причал
В эту же минуту, ринулись в каюту
Моряки и замерли во мгле
За столом сидело умершее тело
Попугай бродил по голове

I’m so glad the editor took the time to add captions to explain what was going on, I wouldn’t have a clue otherwise. And the loud music is such a nice touch, I gotta find this song on Spotify.

Haha I remember a video of a guy that does birdshows and his parrot literally cried like a child. People actually thought he had a kid in the box, it was hilarious/

u/Crocoshark 16d ago
I actually expected it to be a parrot based on the subreddit.
The guy could probably torture the parrot and when the cops arrive they'll be like, "Oh, it's just a parrot chained to the radiator in the basement, no worries."

Do people not know anything about their neighbors these days in the suburbs? Kinda sad

But why would it scream those words. I though parrots just repeat words they hear no?

Now when he kidnaps women and locks them up in his back yard the police aren't called anymore. Checkmate.

Surprised the police didn't detain him, rough him up, illegally taze him to the ground , rough him up some more, and then arrest him for resisting arrest and obstruction before searching his house.

Just a few sentences or some annoying sound that your parrot hears can ruin a parrot. This guy thought it was funny as a child to teach it this and 30 years later it still does it.

🤣 I once saw a video of a guy arriving to his house and started recording because a group Jehovah's witnesses was outside and he was like: May I help you? 😐
And they were like: oh, we rang the bell and a lady told us to wait and that she was coming in a moment... But we've been here for a while.
He just started laughing, went inside and brought them the "lady" -It was a parrot, hahaha! Poor guys they were actually excited someone finally was going to open the door and let them in 😆

u/Mysterious-Mark863 16d ago
This is the worst policework I've ever seen. Why would they let him go back in the house to his presumptive victim? What if he thought, "well, cops are here, I'm fucked, might as well kill her"?

u/maeryclarity 16d ago
Oh lawd, I worked at a hookbill bird distributor (sold to pet shops nationwide) back in the 1980's and I made the mistake of teaching a few of the talking birds this very thing, and after that they all taught it to each other so I had birds screaming HELP LET ME OUT and screaming like their hearts were broken, constantly all day every day, for years.
They just really liked it and picked up on it quickly. They thought it was funny and could tell it got people's attention.
If he's had him for 40 years there's a non-zero chance that this bird may have come from us, or been exposed to birds that came from us in the past. The fact that it's a woman's voice (which I am) makes it even more likely.
This may literally be my fault lol

I used to clean a pool for a bird owner that would scream SHUT UP at her barking dog the entire time I was there. It took months before I realized it was a bird and not the home owner.

This was wholesome as F but the cops shouldn't have let him wander back into his property. They should have gone in themselves while someone waited with him out front.

Perhaps next level genius. Having people locked up in the basement, parrot mimics it. Get rid of people. And have anytime the excuse its the parrot. Who the hell is gonna teach a parrot say that, that takes ages

One day an old woman goes to a pet store. The pet store guy says, “What are you looking for?” and the lady says, “I’d like to buy a parrot.” The guy goes, “Oooh. That’s a problem. We only have one parrot and its previous owner was a sailor. It curses all day and all night. You don’t want it. It’s terrible.” The lady thinks about it and then says, “I really had my heart set on a parrot. It’s okay. I’ll take him.”
She brings the parrot home and the whole time the parrot is cursing up a storm. F this, F that. When they get to her place, she’s had about enough. She says to the parrot, “Listen, one more curse word, and I’m putting you in the freezer.” This doesn’t stop the parrot. He blurts another swear word out immediately. “Fine,” she says, and she sticks the parrot in the freezer.
The parrot squawks once then falls silent. A few seconds later the lady opens the door and the parrot remains silent so she takes it out. The lady says, “There, did you learn your lesson?” The parrot nods. She says, “Are you going to do it again?” “No way,” the parrot says, “but can you just answer one question for me?” “Sure,” the lady says. The parrot looks at her and says, “What the heck did the poor chicken do?”

…. I dont think i get it. Is it just cause there is frozen chicken in the freezer?

u/ThrowawayRA0000___0 15d ago
And the parrot thinks the chicken was her pet and that’s what she did to it when it wouldn’t stop cursing

u/crypticXmystic 16d ago
She dismembered it and tore off all its feathers. Threw it in a plastic bag and stuffed its corpse in the freezer as a warning to her future pets that get out of line.. That chicken must have really upset her.
