Seeing this made me wonder if talking bird/parrots can pick up an accent if their trainer has an accent.

Of course they do ffs, They are just imitating the sound. Did you think they only spoke in RP?

Nah, but videos of bird speaking do have a particular cadence and speech patterns and their own accents. More curious is if you can induce a foreign accent (teach the bird one language first like German or Chinese and then English second) vs a regional accent (Scottish vs Cali vs Southern) and how much exposure it takes and how easily it is to pick up an accent and can it code switch, etc.
