I've actually seen this on Pushing Daisies. The 2 weird aunts said they scare trick-or-treaters off by spreading a rumour that they will turn them into animals, then their parrot says something along those lines.
Be careful picking your bird. At least some parrots will learn sounds and phrases that you did not intend to teach them.
For example I had a friend with a parrot who would very convincingly make noises like somebody having a low conversation on the phone in the next room.

I always felt like his profession made this diabolical.
