I've actually seen this on Pushing Daisies. The 2 weird aunts said they scare trick-or-treaters off by spreading a rumour that they will turn them into animals, then their parrot says something along those lines.

Don't forget the fifth phrase. "Break the curse. Become a parrot. Repeat after me."

My dad had a friend who was a psychotherapist who taught his parrot only one phrase: "Birds don't talk."

I always felt like his professional made this diabolical.

I'm going to buy a parrot and only teach it to say 4 phrases:

-I miss my hands

-Never break a promise to a witch

-There's only one way to lift the curse

-I just want to hug my kids again
