Today, after months of teaching my parrot to speak, he finally demonstrated his abilities. I accidentally set off my smoke detector, and he's been wailing like a dying banshee ever since. FML

Could come in handy… if your house were to catch on fire and the alarm somehow didn't sense it

I once read a book where someone is murdered and there was a parrot there and the parrot is able to imitate the sounds of the murder and reveal the murderer. Useful bird.

Your comment would've been fine. And then you added the little kidding disclaimer.

My parrot does that too actually. Our smoke alarm needed batteries, and his favorite sound is a "beep".

Some people on FML don't understand sarcasm. Trust me, the disclaimer was necessary.

Have the parrot listen to something more soothing for a couple hours and perhaps he'll mock that instead of the alarm sound.

I know your comment got downvoted but it's completely true. Even if the parrot learned to say a couple of phrases properly, try live in the same house as it for a week and see if you don't want to strangle it. Source: I once spent a week In a friends house with a pet parrot and it is the most annoying creature I have ever encountered.
