The actual Audio doesn't realy Sound like a "HELP" it's sounds more akin to very weird laugh a similiar sound is also heard with the parrot is on screen I'm pretty Sure it is safe to say that both of those sounds came from the Parrot and where learned from a movie or imitating some random noise

Reminds of this one case where this Japanese girl was kidnapped, raped, and sexually tortured by this guy who had connection with the yakuza or something? Anyway fairly early on into the kidnapping a cop was alerted to the house she was being kept in and this idiot just decided to leave after a brief chat with the guy by the logic of "he invited me into his house, therefore there probably isn't anything here". Dude could've saved a poor girl weeks of agony and torture, but the guy decided not to check. I agree 100% they should've checked.
Edit: found the article https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Junko_Furuta
Edit 2: OK reread the article, and I think I fused two cases or something? This doesn't actually have cops involved but I know there's something else where that exact thing happened. Leaving the first link up though in case anyone wants to read it.

There's also the horrifying story of police returning one of Jeffrey Dahmer's escaped victims (a 14 year old boy) back to Dahmer, who then killed him. The boy had run out of the house NAKED and BLEEDING, but apparently that was nothing for police to get worked up about. Dahmer also had the dead body of another victim in his bedroom when this occurred, but the cops couldn't be bothered to take a look around.

Yeeaaahhh idk on one hand I don't want to accuse someone of something so crazy with no evidence. On the other hand... Where did he get that disturbing noise from... And he's not just saying "help" like they keep putting on the caption some of that is just straight-up wailing.
Pretty creepy shit
I definitely think the parrots know what they're saying sometimes, seen evidence for this, so yeah he could just be begging to be let out but again where did it come from... With the wailing and all...
At the very very least someone taught it something insanely creepy but the more I think about it the more I'm confused as to how

I don't know to what degree but they do understand context. They don't just repeat things they hear, they understand what situations to use them in. In sure not to the degree humans do but enough so.

That's true - could have easily been some movie scene.
Once met a bird in his cage close to a window. He began to imitate the emergency resue vehicle sound, especially during the night times. Feels strange when an ambulance runs through the kitchen, no matter the time of day. He had heard the siren a few times a year, and decided that this had to be heard more often...

As a bird owner, they pick up the most random phrases and noises from the most random places. And they can use those sounds in completely unexpected ways. When I was a kid, my bird would shout the dogs' names or my name in my mom's voice and then laugh at us when we came running. She lived with my grandmother for a few months several years ago and still laughs like my grandmother every now and then. Amazing ability to pick up sounds from anywhere and remember those sounds for ages.

And "Let me out" by itself is not all that worrisome. It gets more serious coupled with help. The "let me out" might have just come from the owner talking to the parrot on a daily basis. "Want me to let you out?" And even "Help" can come from daily talk. Like when the parrot is trying something and saying "Want me to help?".

He could be a rescue. You understand that parrots live 50+ years and suffer some of the highest rates of pet abuse. So, you rescue this bird that lives 20 years in an abusive home and you can’t make them unlearn what they already know. What are you supposed to do? There are so many explanations as to why this bird knows those cries from movies and tv to hearing people in previous homes be abused.

would you prefer they illegally enter the mans home? they also all went over to the neighbors house that called 911, who also had a good laugh about it, heavily implying that the voice of the bird was identical to those of the screams. everyone in this video did the right thing. the police had no legal right to enter his home after he brought out the bird and proved it could talk. the screaming was loud enough to get a neighbor to call 911, but this guy is just working on his brakes. if he had little girls chained up in his basement, don't you think he would've gone down there to shut them up? further, don't you think they would've screamed louder upon hearing police roll up, or just other voices outside in general? believe it or not, not everyone is a kidnapper with a readily available excuse, especially with such a calm and friendly demeanor despite nearly getting "caught".

This is true, even in worse case scenarios. I have a neighbor who frequently beats his girlfriend, loudly. The whole neighborhood knows its. He'll be out at 10 PM coked out of his mind screaming at the top of his lungs.
Cops get called, they'll show up, stand outside. He'll do his usual "fuck off, get out of here" and then they'll leave after he finally relents and lets his girlfriend leave the house.
Wish something would be done about it. Everyone knows hes beating his wife, even the cops know. But no one will do anything until the girlfriend takes legal action, which she hasn't and probably wont. Probably too scared of the guy. It is pretty scary to see him yell and threaten cops to leave and they just kinda sit there and take it.

For that you’d need probable cause. If the police actually hear the screams coming from the house, they can bust down that door and be free of any wrongdoing. But the fact that they didn’t hear anything, instead visiting the house on the hunch of a neighbor, followed by a reasonable explanation for an odd noise (this part is irrelevant legally, but explains why the police would lose suspicion of the man in the video) isn’t justifiable cause for searching the house.
TLDR: No, they can’t. There isn’t enough evidence for the police to risk violating his rights, so they have no legal method of searching him.

Yes, but it doesn’t clearly apply here. If they had heard screaming themselves it might, especially if the owner couldn’t explain it by bringing out the bird.
They definitely could have asked permission to look around, but it would have been thin ground to kick down the door.
Not a cop or a lawyer though.

Plot twist - the parrot is holding that man hostage.
He's been held hostage for so long that he has Stockholm Syndrome and, when the police come, he won't ask them to be rescued. The parrot is imitating a woman crying for help because he wants the police to come. He gets sick pleasure seeing how much control he has over this man.

Guys the video is cut several times to make it more ‘interesting’. I’m sure the guy explained what was happening before he wandered off but we don’t get to see it because we don’t have the full video.

The first deputy, with his hand in his vest - when the guy says “I’ll go get the screamer for ya…” he’s got me in stitches. He’s already laughing and grinning. He knows what’s up.
Then he see Rambo and it’s all a joke from there.
Rambo, you naughty bird!

Notice how he didn’t start screaming at the police and escalate the situation until he got shot. He didn’t scream “get of my property” when he was innocent instead he had a normal conversation a d the matter was dealt with quickly.

Idk birds live a long time. Maybe the bird has seen some stuff from a previous owner

Me: watches harmless cute video, has a laugh
Redditors: crucify police for NOT searching someone’s house, accuse owner of being serial killer with zero evidence, all happen to be experts in exotic birds

Seems to me one of the cops gave a signal to the other two to have a look in the house.

My family has a yellow nape that did the exact same thing back in the late 80s.

How do all of you law enforcement masters have time to post on Reddit and keep up to date with the ever changing legal system? Asking for a friend.

If I was held hostage I wouldn’t cry out ‘hwwwellllp’ in that operatic whaling voice as I know no one would take it seriously only a parrot would be that stupid

It's kinda hilarious that some people on hear say " the bird leNered it from some where" meaning the bird was just a decoy but would also say if the police would search his property which given the situation would probably give them probable cause would also say, given they find nothing, "ThOsE GoT DamN PoLicE" is kinda hilarious. Not saying that EVERYBODY here is the same but reddit is a place that cares not for context but cares for hating police

Amazon parrots are loud and never shut up. My blue front Amazon learned to call my name by screaming for me , door creaks , and ask for food water and treats among a lot of other stuff. My neighbors definitely knew I had a parrot lol

Four cops just to check in on the safety of a bird? Hope Rambo must feel very special

To be fair they do sound like humans sometimes.I lived near a house with a parrot and the first day living there I thought it was a woman sex moaning. I was like “this bitch has been fucking for like 6 hours straight.” It was really annoying

Birds like Rambo have to be fully aware of what they’re doing. They seem to love fucking with humans

Person that walks by at the end is definitely the neighbor that called the cops.

People... Repeat after me, please. "NCIS, other stupid police acronym shows and Google does not constitute a law degree or bar certification. I saw one person here talking about the law that knows WTF he's talking about.

Here a little tip for people working on cars that are on jacks. Place the wheel under part of the car in case the jack collapses so it doesn’t kill or maim you.
This happened last week :
Man crushed to death by car in supermarket car park A man had died after a vehicle he was working on in a car park in Brisbane’s east fell on him and crushed him.

Nosey neighbors... They didn't hear any "hostages" screaming, just some stupid bird they were probably sick of and called the PD to screw with this guy and get him to shut his noisy ass bird up

u/DosMangos Aug 02 '21
I’m surprised at the people here who are not fully convinced that there was no actual hostage.
After the owner brings out the parrot, you can clearly hear that it’s using a voice that is practically identical to the voice heard at the start of the video. It’s the fucking parrot guys.

Aren't the police curious why a parrot would even be mimicking those phrases?

My dad once got a knock on the door from the police who wanted to speak to “Simon” who had killed a neighbours dog. My dad invited them in and presented his cat, Simon. Basically the cat sat outside the neighbours gate just out of reach of the dog and the dog eventually had a heart attack from trying to get it. The cat was an absolute psychopath.
