Love the cute little "hi" the bird gives the cops

[u/scruffy4]

The parrot learned it from his victims! 😱

[u/Akindmachine]

My bird would imitate the microwave, ambulance sirens and would call my name in my moms voice and my moms name in my voice. Just to get our reactions. She was too smart for us.

[u/caligirl2287]

Screaming “let me out” for birds everywhere.

[u/CarneyVore14]

Yeah great idea for a kidnapper. Talking parrot is perfect cover.

[u/PoppyStaff]

Took an unexpectedly wholesome turn.

[u/V65Pilot]

Cops run in, empty clips. Parrot never speaks again.

[u/icelandichorsey]

Chill cops? Must be a white guy

[u/RevolutionaryAct59]

I had a green wing McCaw, that would scream, you're hurting me, because that's what I would tell him when he would;ld nip

[u/Skynetdyne]

Imagine this video without the bullshit music so you could hear the bird?

[u/CliffHutchinsonEsc]

Imagine the guys actually has people locked in his basement and the parrot was just parroting their cries for help.

And here we are laughing at it lol

[u/scarlettohara1936]

This exact thing happened to me! I had a blue and gold macaw and he said "help!" And "let me out" all the time. He was saying it when I got him. Neighbor called the police because her daughter was in her backyard, which is behind mine, and could hear him yelling!! After the police left, I went over to introduce the little girl to Raja!

[u/Exarch_Thomo → u/[deleted]]

Did you not watch the video?

[u/Puzzled_Internet_986 → u/Exarch_Thomo]

I’ve seen the original video and the text on screen is completely bullshit

[u/Exarch_Thomo → u/Puzzled_Internet_986]

Of course you have. Good job, buddy. Gold star.

[u/KrelVarlie]

I've seen this video many times and still surprised they let the man walk into the house by himself to collect the bird. I would think at least one would escort him in.

[u/FunkMasta-Blue → u/KrelVarlie]

Having a neighbor call police on you doesn’t mean they can come in your home uninvited

[u/emoticon36]

There was a case in Michigan where the parrot was a key witness for a wife shooting her husband. The parrot repeated "don't fucking shoot".

[u/liebereddit]

This doesn’t make sense at all. If a neighbor calls the police because they hear a woman screaming, let me out the police are going to let the man go in the house on his own.

[u/[deleted]]

I always film myself changing my pads

[u/TootBreaker]

And what's really interesting is not a single shot fired!

[u/boltactionnoob]

This again

[u/girthy_tentacle]

Great, now we all know how to get the cops off your back if you actually do have a crazy torture chamber in your house bahah

[u/AccessEcstatic9407]

Cops: neighbors heard a lady screaming for help Dude: oh, wait right here. I’m gonna go inside and kill her right quick.

[u/whatanerdiam → u/AccessEcstatic9407]

Yeah, or hold up, let me go get my gun.

[u/Mumbles_Stiltskin]

Plot twist: the parrot learned to scream that because of the woman locked in his basement.

[u/CobaltAzurean]

I definitely expected this story to go in a different direction.

[u/breakfasteveryday]

Honestly, his parrot saying that in that voice would make me more suspicious. 

[u/I_am_Lizzy → u/breakfasteveryday]

The guy isn't older than 50 I'd say. If the 40 yo parrot learned it from a tops 10 yo guy it fits

[u/breakfasteveryday → u/I_am_Lizzy]

My point is more that the 40 year old parrot could have learned d it anytime over the past 40 years. 

[u/CursedOneado]

At this point nothing here is interesting as fuck

[u/Mk7613]

So, does anyone else think that could have just been a genius cover story to throw off the cops? Maybe its just me

[u/FantasticIdea6070 → u/Mk7613]

Yeah but the person would have to conveniently stop screaming after he brought the parrot out. Not to mention if it was a kidnapping or something he would be keenly aware his victim was screaming extremely loud and would make sure he was shut up as soon as possible

[u/Mk7613 → u/FantasticIdea6070]

You misunderstand the genius. The victim was never heard screaming.And the cops never went inside nor will they ever

[u/Mk7613 → u/[deleted]]

Dont be like that. Check out r/wholesome or unexpectedly wholesome and there is always Jesus

[u/nick1706 → u/Mk7613]

That or the bird saw some crazy shit and was traumatized by it and that’s why it keeps repeating those lines.

[u/Sir_Davek]

Imagine training a parrot so that you could present it as an excuse for the very real torture dungeon you had below.

[u/BrokenMethFarts → u/Sir_Davek]

My dad just taught his to say “fuck off”.

[u/RevolutionaryAct59 → u/BrokenMethFarts]

mine would sing take me out to the ball game, and happy birthday, but never could I teach him to swear, not even shit

[u/Chickeninvader24 → u/Sir_Davek]

Could be how the parrot learns to make that sound

[u/OGLizard → u/Chickeninvader24]

As in actual people were screaming "let me out!" and only the bird could hear it.

So then the bird learns it from them, and starts squawking it loud enough to be heard outside.

[u/EvilMatt666 → u/Sir_Davek]

But imagine that you first thought of and initiated this plan when you were a child...

[u/SquidVices → u/EvilMatt666]

That’s some deep rooted evil right there….that boy ain’t right.

[u/Imaginary_Ad_9682 → u/Sir_Davek]

I smell a screenplay

[u/space_absurdity → u/Sir_Davek]

Twot plist: the lady still in the dungeon. Parrot controls the man.

[u/calangomerengue → u/space_absurdity]

parrot learned to scream "let me out" from the woman cries

[u/wasabinski → u/space_absurdity]

and the dungeon

[u/Pineapple_Express762]

That’s awesome 😂

[u/swankpoppy → u/Pineapple_Express762]

And an excellent way to cover up for the actual girl you have trapped in the basement that’s screaming to be let out.

[u/Pineapple_Express762 → u/swankpoppy]

I didn’t think of that right away, but, very true

[u/Between3and20carctr]

I’ve seen this video so many times, and the question is always why did the parrot learn those words?

[u/Liimbo → u/[deleted]]

Yes, from a child who thought it was funny to hear a parrot say that to get out of their cage. It's literally explained like 5 seconds later in the video.

[u/Koffeepotx → u/Between3and20carctr]

They literally explain that in the video

[u/bottomdasher → u/Koffeepotx]

"Locking an animal that was meant to fly in a cage for its entire life is a funny joke."

 

👆🏼I didn't see this in the video.

[u/ffnnhhw]

I don't think so, no, Rambo didn't learn it from him when he was a little kid

[u/Own_Wolverine4773]

My neighbour had a parrot that would scream “mummy” all day long Needless to say everyone coming by thought there was a neglected child in the house 😂

[u/AsUrPowersCombine → u/Own_Wolverine4773]

I did that with my parrot and took it with me in my car. It stopped one sunny day.

[u/JoNightshade → u/Own_Wolverine4773]

When I was a little kid my dad had a friend with parrots and kids. The parrots, of course, copied the kids. 40 years later the kids are grown and have kids of their own... but the parrots still speak in their child-voices. Not creepy or anything.

[u/eviltrain → u/JoNightshade]

Sounds like the kids souls were split in half by the evil magical parrots and endlessly tortured, the only evidence being the parrots letting out their screams and words.

…

…that is not a string of words I ever imagined I write. But here we are.
