Be careful picking your bird. At least some parrots will learn sounds and phrases that you did not intend to teach them.
For example I had a friend with a parrot who would very convincingly make noises like somebody having a low conversation on the phone in the next room.
Funniest once is my friend's parrot making the microwave "done" sound
When I was a kid, the parrots of our neighbor learned the crying of my baby sister
Took way to long for my mom to realize why my sister was asleep in her bed, every time she got up to check
Mother in laws parrot would copy the sound of the house phone ringing. Not quite right, but from just far enough away to be heard it was very convincing
Holy shit, seriously? That's enough to make someone paranoid
