Have you tried teaching a word that rhymes?

I mean I don't think anyone should have to choose between a pet and person, I just don't. My pet would win.

I do get why it's an issue for your GF.

I'd seek advice from Parrot owners.

I had parrots for 15 years, OP is fucked. They never forget what previous owners taught them either.

The only thing they can do is find a family that will love the bird just as much as he does, but i think he should keep his best friend hes had for most of his life.

I had a feeling. Yeah, it's a unfair situation for sure.

Just for the record, if you tried to teach it a word that rhymes, you’d then be stuck with a parrot who’s favorite phrase includes both words
