When I was a kid, I had to go to the dentist and as I sat in the waiting room, I periodically heard horrible screams. I, uh, wasn't enthusiastic when they finally called me in. Turns out it was a parrot.

I expected killer birds or something, this is kind of a downer but not your fault. Thanks anyway

No, this is obviously interesting. Thanks alot!

Interesting

My initial guess was that the parrots were taught some foul language, and sign was to assure parents that their kid's ears were safe

No more parrots, just a couple of very full snakes... :-P

Were the parrots like convincing people to commit suicide during the Great Depression or something?
