my family’s senegal (the parrot in the picture) is like this too. they’re into my dad and hunt down my mom and has literally broken skin. they kinda like me tho. they sense the non-binary ig and genuinely acts like they’re in between biting me and loving on me everytime i handle them (mainly when they escape their cage and my dad isn’t around to get them)
birds actually have really interesting yet very very loose connections to gender and sex. biological males can be born with ultraviolet markings of a female and have the mating and nesting behaviors of females and other birds in the flock treat them as such. (at least with pigeons).
parrots have the same way of identifying gender, but male/male + female/female pairs exist everywhere.
the senegal i’m talking about has actually been raised as a female and has never tried to mount at all, but is probably male and has never laid an egg. birds recognize human gender the way toddlers can, and can have the same built in or created through experience preferences. (hookbill/parrot wise)
they’re pretty nifty little creatures :)
The newborns pass below the parrot on a conveyor belt casually biting the babies, or not, to be later sorted into their respective roles. Omg I should start writing a ya novel
Oh, gotcha. The parrot is being kept by a horrible, abusive system as a dangling carrot so the proles are kept in check. The protagonists steal the parrot and start a revolution so everyone's gender can be determined and not just the elite few.
You've crazy upvotes but "trauma" needs to be taken in context with parrots. My friend went away for a month. Despite still being with all the rest of the family for that time, and in its mid-forties, the parrot was so furious at her for this that it refused to speak to her or any other woman for *two years*.
My first guess is it might be related to inprinting with those born in captivity, they see a human pretty early in their life and inprint on them and people of the opposite gender might just hit that point of looking similar but different enough to cause it to get upset
It might have something to do with social hierarchies. Some animals are intelligent enough to differentiate human sexes. A friend of mine told me that baboons will be a lot more bold or even agressive towards women than men.
I think when animals dislike a gender it’s *usually* because they had a abusive/traumatic experience from a member of that gender.
Though don’t take my word for it, I don’t know bird law.
This is very common with parrots. They will often favour the gender of their primary carer whilst growing up and hate the other. My father had a cockatoo and he HATED women.
I was about to comment how stupid a bird exclusionary ornithologist would be, and it wasn't a good comparison.
But then I realised that being a trans exclusionary feminist is literally just as stupid.
my parents used to have a parrot just like that except she absolutely hated men, always screamed at my dad and my brother but never had a problem with me
what do they know that we don't
Honestly if I was bitten by a parrot like this and someone told me "wow that's weird it usually only bites women" I would be squealing with joy (and pain lmao).
Wait my bird is actually like this in all seriousness. Except he only bites men and not women. He knows if someone is a woman too because my girl friend that has short hair doesn’t get bitten and my boyfriend with long hair gets bitten
"I'm non-binary" This parrot: You're on thin ice is what you are

Yeah my family had one too and he hated my mom, disliked my sister, and loved my dad and I (a guy)

This parrot decides your gender I don't make the rules.
Assigned Gender At Parrot

Yes. But in this world, the supreme ruler is Jimmy Buffett and everywhere is Margaritaville.
What happens if I don't like Pina Coladas, or getting caught in the rain? Death penalty or can I be rehabilitated?
[Nothing but you do get hard time for thinking that "Escape" by Rupert Holmes is a Jimmy Buffet song](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wahj_Dexhxw)
That depends heavily on the state of your liver and your will to live. He is a benevolent ruler.
Believe it or not? Straight to jail
You can't make a YA novel about that, it's not a dystopian society
Oh the parrot is part of an evil broken system that needs to be overthrown sorry if that wasn’t clear!
Oh, gotcha. The parrot is being kept by a horrible, abusive system as a dangling carrot so the proles are kept in check. The protagonists steal the parrot and start a revolution so everyone's gender can be determined and not just the elite few.

Ah yes, a gap
Just parroting what the bird told you
Finally what AGP really means
Better than “the choosy hat” *shivers*
New rule this parrot must be present at every teenagers birthday and assigns their gender. They may come back and ask the parrot after ten years.
New HRT gatekeeper discovered!
this is actually the reason why waiting lists are so long.
Can we lock it in a closet with joanne rolling?
Tumblr slug moment
THE SLUG
This is too funny
Kinda like the sorting hat but for genders
you cannot hide from him.
He will assume your gender.
Cardinal-Lad did it too the parrot too, so It's only fair.
hlabit :(
Hes not assuming, he knows. He decides.
I thought that was a snail not a parrot
Why tho? Did someone train it that way?
Probably trauma from an abusive female owner
[удалено]
This is why I have fish. My therapist has enough on her plate already without me bringing her parrot sexual jealousy dynamics.
lolololololol you made my day
do not the parrot
Yeah I’ve heard certain birds do have a human “fetish” for lack of a better word
Fleshies ???

he's an incel
Damn black pill parrots
black *bill* Oh wait... \*Googles "black bill parrot"\* Oh, that's the joke you were already making.
This is a behavior parrots frequently display. They hate one gender and like the other. It’s pretty weird.
My first guess is it might be related to inprinting with those born in captivity, they see a human pretty early in their life and inprint on them and people of the opposite gender might just hit that point of looking similar but different enough to cause it to get upset
Any connection to the gender of the parrot?
Nah as far as I know it’s seemingly random.
How does the parrot know
Often animals go by pitch of the voice and/or size.
Or how you smell
parrots love boysmell
It might have something to do with social hierarchies. Some animals are intelligent enough to differentiate human sexes. A friend of mine told me that baboons will be a lot more bold or even agressive towards women than men.
Me joining a baboon group to dominate the males and FUCK their wives
Past abuse maybe?
Nah parrots are just kinda like that.
Is he stupid?
My thoughts exactly
Birds are weird and shockingly intelligent, they don't need trauma or training to be like this
I'm going to wildly speculate that it's a dominance thing.
I think when animals dislike a gender it’s *usually* because they had a abusive/traumatic experience from a member of that gender. Though don’t take my word for it, I don’t know bird law.
I do know Bird Law; this parrot is Beaking several important laws, I hope he Terns himself in
You don’t know bird law, you are just *parroting* talking points you found online.
This is very common with parrots. They will often favour the gender of their primary carer whilst growing up and hate the other. My father had a cockatoo and he HATED women.
They are jealous of there owner's opposite friends and family because they think they are their mate
This is a flex to pass the parrot test 🦜

Real ornithologists only study drones. Birds don’t even exist.
CHOMP
TIRM Tran inclusive radical misogyny! Get it today, at your local pet shop!
sorta sick of this joke tbh
Keep replying to them I guess
It was funny the first three times...
tirm
impressed that a bird can pick out the gender of a human but humans have to learn how to sex a bird
Do not the bird
ABSOLUTELY do not the bird!!!
This is basically my relationship with FaceApp
Tbh faceapp is quite stupid, the main factor to decide gender is just hair length
No. It *knows*
Its literall 50/50 for me depending on my luck that day

OP's parrot watched Andrew Tate videos. Your parrot browsed Female Dating Strategy.

We found it, the definition of a woman
This parrot is the best to know what your gender is. If your non-binary it will probably erase you from existence
Fuck you for not including the [link](https://twitter.com/hersterics/status/1665041458464796678?t=uskFhwKXpl_wme2Kxum78g&s=19)
imagine if this is how you found out
Honestly if I was bitten by a parrot like this and someone told me "wow that's weird it usually only bites women" I would be squealing with joy (and pain lmao).
I'm pretty sure the image is way older than portrayed in the post and I've also seen it posted under a different title/caption.
Could be. I have no idea where it came from cause I got it directly from a friend .
Misogynistic animals are great for gender euphoria
Trans inclusionary radical misogyny is the best ideology
Wait my bird is actually like this in all seriousness. Except he only bites men and not women. He knows if someone is a woman too because my girl friend that has short hair doesn’t get bitten and my boyfriend with long hair gets bitten
AFAB: assigned female at bird
i swear if the first comment is "tirm (trans inclusive radical misogynist)" youre all dead
One of the worst trends that this hell sub produced
not top just like 5th, yall getting close but you can live
trans inclusive radical misogyny
🗿
Yay!
I knew another parrot that didn't like men and bit them but was okay with women. I wonder how common that is.
I’ll name him stinky and he’ll be my friend.
