Where's my phone
A parrot repeating “Where’s my phone?” would probably be a helpful little reminder—or a mischievous echo at just the wrong moment! 📱😄Was that a common refrain for you when we asked this question a while back, or is it still a regular occurrence? Thanks for sharing such a modern-day classic @Arkie98 !
 
Why did I come in here?
That one never gets old—“Why did I come in here?” feels like the unofficial motto of everyday life! 😄 A parrot repeating that would probably make you feel seen (and maybe slightly called out). Is that a phrase you still catch yourself saying, or has it eased up a bit since we first asked? Thanks for sharing a line so many of us can relate to @GrammyD !
 
Let's do the time wrap again.
What a fun and iconic choice—“Let’s do the Time Warp again!” A parrot belting that out would definitely bring the drama and the nostalgia! 🕺🌀Are you a Rocky Horror fan, or was there another reason that line came to mind when we asked the question? Thanks for such a playful and memorable response @meckpkj1976 !
 
Doggone it!
“Doggone it!”—now that’s a classic! I can just imagine a parrot saying it with perfect exasperation. 😄 Is that a phrase you've always used, or did it start popping up more around the time we asked the question? Thanks for sharing this charming and old-school gem @Phyll !
 
Call my phone so I can find it!
That one made me laugh—“Call my phone so I can find it!” is peak modern life! 😄 A parrot repeating that would be both helpful and hilariously unhelpful. Is that something you were saying a lot back when we asked the question, or has it become even more common since? Thanks for such a relatable and funny response @lavender3 !
 
I’d train it to say all the things I need to be reminded of 🤣
That’s such a clever take—I love the idea of a parrot acting like your own personal reminder system! 🤣 Imagine it rattling off your to-do list every morning. What kinds of things do you think it would be reminding you about most often? Thanks for the creative and fun response @CejaeRee !
 
I LOVE YOU
“I LOVE YOU” in all caps—now that’s a phrase with heart and emphasis! 💖 A parrot saying it loudly and proudly would definitely brighten any day. Was there someone special who inspired that choice when you answered, or did it just feel like the perfect everyday message to hear? Thanks for sharing such a warm and uplifting response @MsRusty !
 
That makes no sense.
Haha, that’s such a great pick—“That makes no sense” would be perfect for a parrot with strong opinions! 😄 Do you find yourself saying that often, or was it just the perfect phrase when we asked? Thanks for sharing this one—it’s short, sharp, and very relatable @8grandma+4 !
 
I know I came in here for something
That one’s a classic—“I know I came in here for something” is practically a daily mantra for so many of us! 😄 A parrot repeating it would definitely add to the confusion. Has it been happening more often lately, or was it just one of those funny little habits that popped into mind when we first asked? Thanks for the great (and oh-so-familiar) response @sheba@home !
 
I did have a parrot that used to say morning. Get up. Time to eat.
Never was able to get him to say goodbye.
That’s such a lovely memory—“Morning. Get up. Time to eat.” sounds like the perfect little feathered alarm clock! 🦜☀️ It’s funny how they’ll pick up some phrases so easily and completely ignore others. Do you still remember the sound of his voice? Thanks so much for sharing that special story with us @Hazeleyes .

My brother’s blue & gray would say - ‘I can talk, can you fly?’
loved hearing her so much!
What a fantastic phrase—“I can talk, can you fly?” has such sass and charm! 😄 Your brother’s parrot sounds like she had quite the personality. Did she say anything else that made you smile? Thanks for sharing that sweet memory @deja —it’s easy to see why you loved hearing her so much!
 
Do you need to go potty......I have a dog .
That’s such a great one—“Do you need to go potty?” would be hilarious coming from a parrot, especially if your dog started responding to it! 😄Is that something you found yourself saying constantly when we first asked? Thanks for sharing this fun and very relatable pick @dkleslie52 !

Are you ready to go outside? (to the dogs)

my uncle had one that talked who could imitate the fire alarm and also picked up some not so nice names for their neighbor.
“Are you ready to go outside?”—such a classic dog-owner phrase, and one a parrot could repeat with way too much enthusiasm! 🐾😄Your uncle’s parrot sounds like a real character—imitating the fire alarm and learning a few choice words? That must’ve kept everyone on their toes! Did you get to spend much time around that bird? Thanks for sharing both the phrase and the fun family memory @Grannyst06 !
 
Forget the Polly wants a cracker garbage, give me something much tastier! 😉
Haha, now that’s a parrot with good taste! 😄 “Forget the Polly wants a cracker garbage, give me something much tastier!” sounds like it belongs to a bird with a gourmet streak. What kind of treat do you think your imaginary parrot would actually go for? Thanks for the laugh—this one’s got so much personality @Gayle B. !



 
Oh Sweet Sugar!
“Oh Sweet Sugar!”—what a fun and unique phrase! I can just hear a parrot saying it with flair every time something surprising happens. 😄Is that a saying you use often, or did it just pop into your head when we asked the question? Thanks for sharing such a sweet (and slightly sassy!) response @sadieclayladie !
 
Bless your heart!
“Bless your heart!”—now that’s a phrase packed with charm and meaning, depending on how it’s said! 😄 A parrot repeating it could be either sweet or hilariously shady. Is it something you say often, or does it remind you of someone in particular? Thanks for sharing this wonderfully classic phrase @NancyCL !
 
Dag nabet! Where did I put my cane?!?!
Haha, “Dag nabet! Where did I put my cane?!?!” is full of character—I can just imagine a parrot blurting that out at the most unexpected times! 😄 Is “Dag nabet” something you say often, or was it a fun twist that popped into your head when we first asked? Thanks for the laugh—this one’s a gem @MarlisJ !



 
Bite me (when looking for something)
Haha, “Bite me” while searching for something sounds like the kind of phrase a parrot would repeat exactly when you least want it to! 😄Was that a go-to expression during frustrating moments when we first asked? Thanks for sharing such a bold and funny response @odieddl !
 
Babe can you hear me ?
That one made me smile—“Babe, can you hear me?” would be so funny coming from a parrot, especially if it said it over and over like an echo! 😄 Was that inspired by someone in particular, or just one of those phrases that gets said a lot around the house? Thanks for sharing such a sweet and familiar line @Gibb !
 
I think mine would have to be, Kitty leave the Puppies Alone! Puppies quit yelling at the Kitty!. Of wait I already say that. On Repeat. Just like a Parrot 🦜.
Haha, that’s brilliant—sounds like your household already has parrot-level repetition built in! 😄 “Kitty, leave the puppies alone! Puppies, quit yelling at the kitty!” would be perfect for a parrot to mimic—on loop, of course! Do your pets ever actually settle down, or is the chaos part of the daily fun? Thanks for such a lively and relatable response @KellyColeman !
