The strange one that wears camoflage pants and hangs out around otherwise happy or peaceful people barking at them all day.
Not even Santa Claus or the parrot lady caught a break this Christmas, they both got dragged from the public square and arrested.

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.

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.

Parrots mock your words. and are annoying. A sex parrot is a single person/persons that have terrible sex with the same person over and over. Irritating the other partner in the intercore.
