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.

Somebody that either says everything you just said, or at times even tries to say something you thought of before you could say it with the help of a psychic friend, all to gain credit for doing so.
The parrot mouth wanted to claim the other person's ideas as his/her own, and found that the best way to keep the other person ostracized (or from finding any sort of rhythm) was to just mindlessly blurt out everything the other person just said back them and anybody else present (Baaa I'm not ignorant you're ignorant, Baaa I'm not the pee pee head you're the pee pee head). That way the parrot mouth won either way by remaining relevant via credit or attention from others.

Someone, usually a member of senior management, who takes it upon themselves to impart detailed knowledge about various facets of SQL Server ( DB performance analysis, query costs, table optimisation and index creation) which all parties to the conversation know for certain that they have obtained from and are repeating the wisdom of, a proper SQL developer.
Robert spent rather too long on the call Cronk-Parroting the optimisations required to bring speed and inner peace to the users' lives.

The act of impersonating the sound made when an individual beats their meat, the sound is created by hitting your hand between your thighs in a quick manner
