Since Friday brought more than its fair share of bad news to this country and world, I present this doomscroll timeline cleanse: A parrot who clearly learned the language before traveling to Puppyland.

@JasonStiff that's charming!
@morgansher I could watch this all day
@JasonStiff I have this bookmarked, now.
@JasonStiff As BROvary-bursting as this is…. I’m sure it won’t get old.
@JasonStiff now I'm really wondering if the parrot makes the dog howling noise at everything or just to dogs, if the latter that would mean it knows the difference and is tailoring its call to that specific audience.
@rogerparkinson @JasonStiff Some years ago I heard the story of a parrot who would summon its human by making the sound of a ringing phone. My memory of the story is that this was a specific call for one human and not other residents of the house.
@rogerparkinson @JasonStiff it's probably the latter. parrots learn a *large* song repetoire, which they use to communicate amongst the flock, and this is really important to them…

@JasonStiff

The bird is also mimicking the dog's howling movements. So cute

@JasonStiff
Thanks, you made my day. I laughed a lot this morning and I really needed it ;)

@alexpsmith

i saw this and thought of you.

@JasonStiff

I'm fully cleansed. Better than baptism for what ails you!

@JasonStiff look, there is another vid, from a different angle with a baby in it. Disregard the bird, dog and baby. Look at the top left, the yellow pillow. Now tell me what you think this is.

@Tom_ofB
Just seeing the still of the previous post before clicking made me angry,already suspecting what it was.
@ksmoker blurry video, satin shiny edges on the things in it.. very telltale.

@JasonStiff Appears this may be fake, unfortunately. (See reply thread about another video of this scene that is either AI-generated or shows signs of heavy editing.)

@JasonStiff 😆 I do hope that's real and not AI Generated.
@JasonStiff love it it makes my day
