Get the Playing With Your Parrotmug. Beautiful girls or eye-catching men at the front door of a restaurant who talk to people walking by. Also, a particularly stunning customer maybe given a table next to a window to attract attention.
As Tommy walked home from the office, he would always stop for a beer at the steakhouse when Jeanette was welcoming customers. The beer was over priced but the view made it worth it. Tommy knew he always fell for the Parrot on the Patio sales technique.

Get the Parrot on the Patiomug. Twitter slang about talking shit about someone behind their back.
At date, the stats publicly displayed on a Tweet include a counter for Quote Tweets (QTs) — Retweeting the Tweet with an added comment of your own — which displays an accurate total number of QTs.
If you click on the QT counter, Twitter will show you a list of QTs on the Tweet; however, it will only show you the QTs that are publicly visible. Tweets by locked accounts, including QTs, are not publicly visible, so they are registered by the public QT count but do not show up in the QT list.
If a Tweet has 1 or more QTs but they're all private, the QT list will have no entries, just "No Quote Tweets yet," topped by a drawing of a parrot which appears to be narrowing its eyes suspiciously (the titular parrot of shame).
The only easy way to access the QT list is to click on the QT counter, which only shows up if a post has QTs. As a result, if you see the parrot on one of your Tweets, it means someone is discussing your Tweet on a private account, which often means they have an opinion about you or what you said, but don't want you to know what it is.
Therefore, referring to the "parrot" or the "parrot of shame" is a way of saying you know people are talking shit.

Get the Parrot of shamemug. The sudden inexplicable inability to demonstrate an action to an audience specifically summoned to view said action.
This phenomenon receives its name from the premise of a pet "talking" parrot who is suddenly silent when guests are invited to see it "talk." "I swear!," says the owner, "He says all kinds of stuff! He says 'hello', he says our names! Really! I don't know why he won't do it now...." while the guests nod and say, "Suuure, he talks. We totally believe you."

EXAMPLE:
You "Every time I try to load this page I get a weird error message. I restarted and everything. Come in here and look at this."
IT Employee: "OK, show me what it's doing."
You: Repeat action that has resulted in a error 17 times in a row. Page now loads no problem. "I swear, it was giving me an error every single time before you were standing here. Talking Parrot Phenomenon, right there."
IT Employee: Gives you skeptical eye.

Get the Talking Parrot Phenomenonmug. When two people, typically good friends or relatives, get into an argument not for the sake of getting their point across, but to hear themselves talk.
The arguments are typically about topics neither knows much about, or they choose sides which they don't truly support, all for the sake of comedy.

Get the Bella Parrotmug. A sexual act when one stuffs their significant others vagina full of cookie dough or a clay coloured ice cream and roughly piledrives her. Afterwards, you would like it out similar to how a Peruvian parrot would like a clay wall.
