This from Reddit is a VERY serious problem, asked with utmost sincerity. Do not laugh at this person!
Cue the dramatic music:
Okay, you can laugh. The video does make it pretty funny.
This person just wants to know how to get a parrot to stop calling a transgender person by their "deadname," or the name they were given at birth by their parents.
"I'm hoping there's some parrot owners in this subreddit.
My family rescued a parrot 3 years ago and he's fallen in love with my brother so much that he calls for him by his deadname. A little over 6 months ago, my brother changed his name and my family has stopped using his deadname since. The problem is, I think it's so engrained in my parrot that I worry he'll never stop saying it. This has damaged my brother's mental health.
Do you think it takes more time? Will he ever forget it?"
Let me just say...
WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!
You know what they say, you can't teach an old parrot new tricks.
I know you were wondering what the responses to this question were (the post has since apparently been deleted).
Yeah, the replies were just as bad and cultic as you thought:
Call me crazy, but I think that the parrot (who is totally based) is the only sane party in this whole situation.
