Pets are precious creatures–a lot of people already know that. They give endless love and affection to their owners–some even to anyone who gives them attention.

But, looks can be deceiving. Seeing the cute and innocent facade–it doesn’t mean that they are not able to do little tricks on others.

On many occasions, these tricks are not really done on purpose. But of course, humans find these acts incredibly entertaining and hilarious.

Some pet owners even expect their pets to do these tricks and successfully catch them in the act with their cameras out. These clips can be widely found across multiple social media platforms with up to millions of views.

This couple, however, adopted OP's parent's parrot. They did not expect the memorable scene that is yet to come.

OP shares her and her husband’s experience–a funny and comical one, actually. It involves the couple, their bird, and an innocent shirtless teenage boy from the high school track team.

Does this Reddit post belong to the "Today I Fucked Up" (TIFU) subreddit?

This thread from the "Today I Fucked Up" (TIFU) subreddit is not necessarily OP fucking something up–they actually didn't, but the bird did. Instead, it is quite a story–something that is found by many to be quite the comedy.

Let's dive into the situation:

OP and her husband adopted the parrot that OP’s parents used to own. They got a backpack carrier for it.

They decided to take the parrot on nature walks, but as practice, they place the backpack on a baby stroller. From an outside perspective, they would look like a couple pushing a stroller with a big backpack.

The couple went on their first walk–so far, so good. The parrot was calm and cheery.

Not much people were around, just the local high school track team. One of the shirtless, teenage boys was lagging behind–he became the victim of the bird’s loudest wolf whistle ever.

OP was getting photo requests. Not of them, of course–of Bongo.

This is “Bongo in his backpack.” He looks comfortable.

This is “parrot in stroller.” People sure can’t guess there would be a parrot inside.

Next request from the Redditors: the backpack. Is this sponsored?

OP actually dropped a letter of apology for the incident!

This is from Bongo the parrot. He seems quite eloquent.

We hope Bongo is forgiven!

Here are some of the replies:

Just found out that taking a bird out for a walk means putting a small dog collar and a leash on them. It seems that seeing a little waddling bird with a collar on may look weird to some.

Here's OP's response to the previous comment—Bongo's previous owners actually owned a harness for him. Cute, but not feasible for OP.

Here's a situation that's not quite the same.

But, an animal caused this Redditor to look like a creep, so it kind of relates to the story.

The start of the story gave this commenter a wrong impression. Lol.

People called the cops on this cockatoo.

Understandable, since she screams for help every time she's done being outside.

Oopsies!

Even the thought of a couple with a parrot in a stroller is funny. What a sight it must have been!

How the tables have turned–a construction worker accidentally getting cat called (on accident). "Hey chubby baby~"

This poor husband gets a bad reputation because of their cockatoo. The bird almost always goes unnoticed.

A guy walks his duck on a leash. The duck is a local celebrity now.

Here's a video:

Imagine seeing a parrot on a collar and leash flying above OP–like a kite. That would be a moment to remember.

One might say that Bongo did the couple dirty–he did shoot his shot at the young boy, but the couple got blamed for his inappropriateness. Kidding aside, the bird didn't actually do anything wrong–the timing was just immaculate, and the stars were set in place, enough to create the memorable and comical scenario that made the couple and many Redditors laugh.
