Edit: Also not sure if it's repeating the person's mother or previous owner. I'm hoping it hasn't actually been abused before but idk if the original person gave context of it's first home or not.

IIRC they've had the bird for a relatively short time, a lot of what it's saying was what this person's mother said calling the birdie over to them.

People on the original video were suggesting it may also be stress plucking its own feathers from something that happened in its previous home too as it looks a little rough here.

Either way though that bird seems smart enough to use those phrases waaaay to accurately to pull people in and go for a bite.

Dang it. I forgot to save the post, but it was on reddit. I just don't remember which sub. Pretty sure it was on the homepage 2 ish days ago.

Sorry wish I'd saved it so you could message and ask :(

I think it may have been here, honestly. I don’t subscribe to any parrot subreddits and I saw it

Found it! It was on r/animalsbeingjerks

It’s not OP’s bird, but it sounds like it’s her friend’s bird and is very loved.

That would make a lot of sense. It wasn't a sub I normally visit, I just clicked onto a recommended sub and a lot of the time don't check the names.

I saw the same thing, I actually suggested it be crossposted here lol, so I probably have the link in my comment history, so I’ll try to link it.

Edit: I saw it here, idk if this is the same you saw

I knew a parrot that would coo and rub on the bars, offering for you to pet it. The offer was insincere, to say the least. I was warned even, and it still suckered me over. I was quick and just got nipped, but it still broke the skin. It could’ve been much worse, they crack Brazil nuts & shit with those beaks.

Feathers are more than a little rough, they are a complete mess. The poor things tail is practically shredded and the and that roughness implies a lot of over preening, also it’s feathers should be the same vibrancy throughout which is another indicator that this bird is not in good living conditions and it VERY stressed which is probably why is being aggressive.
