IMO, this is one of the better arguments for parrots having some of the most human-like intelligence in the animal world outside of primates. Having had both toddlers and parrots, they do exhibit a lot of similarities in behavior patterns, and I could swear my kids have done exactly what this person describes their bird doing.
My favorite was the parent who told their kids their eyes change color when they lie. Now the kid closes their eyes real tight every time they lie.
I once told my daughter that a star that is only visible to grown ups appears on her forehead when she is lying. Soon she started to hide her forehead when lying 😂
Even today - although older - I ask her to show me her forehead and I can read her reaction like a book
