The best part is it was likely intentional by the bird. These cockatoos are in the TOP10 smartest animal category and in my opinion about as smart and clever as dolphins. They are sassy on purpose and love being annoying, usually related to wanting to challenge the owner and test them. Cutest animals ever, hard not to love them as long as they're not yours.

I mean SERIOUSLY: these guys are so intelligent and sentient that they get SHY around people! Like if a neighbor or friend visits, they'll be all coy and quiet looking at them under the brow but as soon as they leave they start babbling up a storm to their owner. They also seem to understand a lot of what humans say, especially depending on the type of parrot. Ringneck Parrots 100% have contextual understanding of words for example. They'll go "cmere!" and when you go to them they go "hello you okay?".
