Parrot is in love with someone on TV

I will get woken up every single day with him asking to watch Elmo on Sesame Street. It's like a toddler, like an iPad kid that you cannot get off the tablet. He's very persistent. He will continue to ask until that TV comes on and he sees Elmo on the TV and then finally he's happy. I am Dahl and this is Cruz's story for GIBS. Basically what happened, I didn't pay too much attention to what I was leaving on the TV. I chose the first thing that came up. The following day, he started to ask me for something, but I could not make out this word. What are you saying? He was repeating it frantically, and he was desperate for me to understand what he wanted. And I thought, could he be asking for Elmo? I realised that that's what I'd left on the TV playing for him the day before. I couldn't quite believe that he'd been able to identify the character on Sesame Street and then ask for more. As soon as I put Sesame Street, he would fly straight into the room, sit on the back of the sofa and watch Elmo for as long as I will let him. He will not move, he's like a statue. He's a born comedian. Tickle, tickle, tickle. What? Let's do our counting. One. What? He's very self-aware. The cat's gone outside. I'm outside? Can I have some water? Do you want me to sing to you? What? He definitely is aware of what he's saying. So what? He says it at the right time. it's not coincidence, do you want an egg? what, i've never heard him speak and it's not in context it's your bedtime please stop it many times if i happen to get up in the middle of the night he will shout mum i want elmo it's sesame street the whole time i ask him what would you like to watch and i will list all the different cartoons available which he knows which ones they are and he will always choose elmo and abby and if you turn it off he gets incredibly upset there's many times where i end up watching elmo and sesame street on a saturday night or friday night because he won't let me turn the tv over it got to the point that my human son said mum please i can't take any more i cannot hear elmo's singing or dancing anymore okay i've become accustomed to it i really don't mind as long as he's happy i'm happy but visitors and my son have been like please can we stop the elmo all right let's talk you've got issues
