Do Parrots Get Jealous?

I was chatting with a friend on the phone, deep in conversation, when I suddenly heard a very loud, very deliberate “HELLO?!” from across the room.

It was my parrot, clearly not impressed with being ignored.

She repeated it. Louder this time. “HELLO?! HELLOOOO?!”

I kept talking, trying to play it cool, big mistake.

A few seconds later, she flew straight to my shoulder, leaned in like she was about to whisper something… and pooped. On. My. Shirt.

Then she looked at the phone again with the most offended expression I’ve ever seen on a bird.

Safe to say, she got my attention.

That was the moment I realised that parrots 100% get jealous.
Of phones, people, food, other pets... maybe even your reflection.

Has your parrot ever acted jealous?
What set them off and what did they do about it?
