Parrots are already intelligent and cannot be trusted

I once had this Parrot named Buddy yeah? And he would scream bloody murder when no one was home... like to the point where one day someone actually thought someone was being murdered in our home, so they called the police. Police come, heard the screaming, busted the door down and let all our dogs out. And I kid you not, this came straight from the officers mouth when my mom came after they called her to come catch our dogs. When the police came through the door, guns out and everything, Buddy stopped screaming, looked right at the female officer and said "Hey Baby"

Parrots know what they're doing, they are sneaky trickster gremlins sent to this world to toy with us


So I'd go with the talking dog.
