Parrots!

Hello parrot lovers! This is c/parrots, a community for parrot owners and anyone that appreciate parrots.

There will be some useful resources here or on a stickied post sometime in the future.

Rules

Don't be a jerk. Do be helpful, kind, supportive and informative.
No NSFW images. This is a forum for celebrating parrots and a resource for information about parrots. It's okay to post a question about you bird's health but please don't include an image with it. If you think your bird is sick, you need to go to an avian veterinarian.
No images of animals in unsafe situations. This includes but is not limited to images of parrots with predators (dogs and cats), images of parrots unsecured in a moving vehicle, images of parrots outside without proper restraint or free-flight training.
Rules are subject to change in the future because I have no idea what I'm doing.

Miss Echolalia is an excellent name for a parrot! What sounds or phrases are her favourite to repeat?

She says so many things, we've got a Google doc to keep track of it all. Currently she likes saying variations of "BRRRR BRRR Hello? This is bird phone!" and "Buy one! Get one free!"

She makes up her own sentences from things she knows too, which is endlessly fascinating. "Buy one! Kiss bird free!" and "Who's that Pokemon? IT'S ME!!"

We've got many nicknames for her but the one that fits best is ChatotGPT (Girl Parrot Talking). Mostly she thinks her name is Chicken because that's what I call her most of the time.
