Today, I introduced my parrot to oranges. Now she makes a high pitched scream if I don't give her any, and I've just run out of oranges. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my parrot learned how to imitate my baby's crying. Now, every time the baby cries, the parrot joins in, and it sounds like a chorus of screaming. FML
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
Today, I was driving my parrot home from the vet. As I was driving home, I decided to let her sit on my shoulder. Something scared her, and she started flapping in my face, causing me to crash my car into a tree. FML
Today, I met my boyfriend's parents for the first time. In his front room was a giant parrot. Hoping to impress them, I went over to the bird and began talking to it proving I wasn't scared. Out of nowhere, it's beak clenched onto my nose making it gush blood on the carpet. I was hospitalized. FML
Today, I went caroling with some family friends. We got pelted with oranges. FML
Today, I woke up at 3:00 am to the sound of a bird screeching. Turns out, my roommate bought a parrot without consulting me first. Even better, my roommate expects me to pay for half of the bird's expenses. FML
Today, it was my daughter's birthday. She had been wanting a cat for a long time, so I went to the animal shelter and got an orange one. As soon as she saw it, she ran upstairs screaming, "GINGER! GINGER!" She refuses to come downstairs until I get rid of "the soulless creature." FML
Today, around 12 a.m., my pet parrot said a sentence I've never heard him say before. Usually this would be exciting, but considering he said, 'I killed the bird', and that one of my two love birds mysteriously died a few days ago, it's safe to say I'm now terrified. FML
Today, I found out my ten year-old brother and his best friend have taught our new parrot to say, "Shut up, bitch." We have a bunch of our extended family coming over tomorrow to see what the parrot can say. FML
Today, I returned home from a month long trip overseas to find that my bird sitter has trained my parrot to whisper, "You're going to die" in a sinister voice. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Be gentle when you break the news to it, but the parrot needs to go to rehab. It might be screaming now, but the next step is orange juice injections.

I'm so tired I misread parrot as parents, which made the rest of the post so confusing I had to re-red it.

Try this, it worked for me when I had the exact same problem. Take 3 of those orange flavoured vitamin C tablets. The "Sunshine" brand is best, but any that tastes like orange is fine. Dissolve the tablets in 1 and a half cups of tap water in a clear glass. The tablets dissolve faster if they are crushed, or the water is warm. It's important you use a clear glass, as you'll see later. Put the glass down next to the parrot, and tap the side of the glaas with your finger. When you get the parrot's attention, dip your finger in the water and place a drop on its beak, just below the nostrils, so it can smell the orange scent. Tap your finger against the side of the glass again. Repeat these last three steps until the parrot understands what you are showing it. When the parrot finally sticks its head in the glass to investigate, grab it by the neck and hold its head underwater until it stops breathing. (This is why you use a transparent glass, so you don't have to keep pulling it out to check.) No more shrieking!

I just joined so I could let you know that too much citrus is bad for parrots, an occasional treat is ok, but Polly will get a tummy ache if you give her too much.
