^ just realised what a weird thing that is to say to a parrot, budgie, cockatoo, w/e
Parrots are the least attractive of all avians.

You have to say it to the parrot first tho

I knew someone who had a parrot who used to squawk "Say Hello", because everyone used to go up to it and shout "Say Hello!"

was watching some old QI the other night and they reckoned that parrots have never been observed imitating sounds or movements in the wild, its only a behaviour in captive birds. Sinister.
― placeholder for weak pun (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 6 September 2011 13:11 (twelve years ago) link
remember some prog with footage of some birds in the wild doing the sound of trees falling down and stuff and then after they'd been filming them for a while they would do the camera autofocus sound too

that round was easy but unfair to the other team. took far too long stitching together the answers for 9 and 10 letter veg . if I was on the other team I'd be raging

Just catching up on this week's episode and I really want those smug fucks from UCL to be eliminated. Their endless, chortling conferring sessions are really, really annoying. They're getting one more chance thanks to whatever the hell the qualifying system is now though.

It's the same deal as UCL. They have these jokey conferring sessions that last forever (which get worse the further ahead they get) and Paxman totally indulges them.
― Number None, Tuesday, 6 March 2012 00:32 (twelve years ago) link
it's hard to judge how bad it is with quiz shows because those gaps are edited to suit the show pacing
