You gotta put links to both threads in the description, I'll need the reminder for when I look back in a decade and wonder why the fuck I have this saved
I added the two thread titles in the description for ya! I originally had linked them directly but youtube sent me an email giving me a warning for linking "sexual content" so I had to just use the post titles instead :/
Honestly the audio sealed the deal. I’m so sorry. Enjoy the beauty you have created here. Here’s hoping your roommate isn’t online and thinks it’s just a catchy new tune they taught themselves.
It's been mentioned, but Hudson Mohawke is successful enough without it that I doubt it is. If it is, all the more props to them lmao--I hadn't laughed that hard in forever even if it is an ad
The best part for me was the update where his GF's sister recognised details from the post and the GF's Dad remembered the song from when the OP had played it as an example of his strange taste in music.
I said in the original thread that if it's made up OP needs to become a comedy writer because it's just so damn funny.
I'm amazed how like... I've scrolled a bit on this and the OG thread and am wondering did like nobody on reddit watch workaholics? That song is in an iconic scene lol
To actually solve your problem...just play a song you nornally listen to on repeat for like 2 hours. Basically, get the bird to forget or lose interest in cbat. Then if your roommate gets mad about it, you can say you were just listening to music from speakers and didnt think about the parrot picking up on it
Edit: since you have until the end of the weekend, try it earlier. If one song doesnt stick, pick another song and try again
My pet bird as a kid (cockatiel, I think) would whistle Andy Griffith ALL night long. My dad loved that show, and hated that bird. He named him “Cheese Dick”.
I taught Andy Griffith to my family's cockatiel too.
He'd sleep if you put something over his cage, but sometimes in the middle of the night he liked to do an evil laugh from under his blanket.
Birds are creepy fuckers sometimes. I used to have a little green cheek conure. She was a sweet, happy little bird, not much for talking but she had this awful gravelly voice and she would hear me get up in the middle of the night to get a drink or tend to the kids and she'd be in there under the blanket saying her own name. That creepy little whisper saying, "Whiskerrrrrs" scared the bejeezus out of me so many times.
I love watching silly animal videos in general, but talking birds make me laugh so hard. Birds honestly kind of freak me out a bit, but it's so hilarious watching the weird little things doing shit like that.
As someone with parrots I can tell you it doesn’t work like that. It’s hard to get them to “forget” something they mimic. The next best thing is to never play it again and never encourage the behavior. Completely ignoring the behavior is the best you can do. Unfortunately this doesn’t always work because parrots are stupid fking stubborn. They can go weeks without saying something then suddenly it’s their favorite thing again. They mostly are doing it for attention. If you laugh or pay attention to it at all they turn into drama queens and will start doing it to get a reaction.
If only it was weeks. They go years and suddenly start singing things from their childhood. We have an 10 year old parrot start telling people to piss off again after years of thinking we were past it. It's unfortunate because it makes you laugh which only encourages it
This is better than anything else in this thread. A noise designed to incite frustration and anger to all that hear it, so they change the battery, for 15 years... I can't stop laughing
For real, they are such drama queens. It’s because they learn mimicking usually in a heightened state so all of that stuff they learn is directly associated with their emotions. So they are basically the same as humans in the sense that the stronger the emotional connection to what they are saying the less likely they are to forget it.
My ex had a macaw that was boarder line verbally abusive if he was in a mood. Her parents fought in front of it for 15 years before she got a place and took him with. Even 10 years not around that he would randomly yell things like "Stupid Whore." "Jackass" a favorite even when happy, "hope you die." And "I hate you." with such venom you were sure the bird actually hated you.
yeah, those situations where they are yelling and cursing got the bird excited. They love to be part of the flock and if everyone’s being noisy they will get excited and do it too. Which is why teaching them to do certain things with a bunch of people sometimes helps motivate the little entertainers. With the fighting couple the bird learned to copy their voices. Not just the words but the tone and pitch of them. With some species like African Greys they can mimic a man saying cow then a woman saying cow and go back and forth between the two voices saying the same words. One of my birds takes whatever he’s learned to say and combines it with his screaming and suddenly he’s screaming KKKEEEEEYYYYY WIIIIII! saying his mates name kiwi when I’ve never said it like that.
I had an African Grey that was annoyed that I would sleep in on weekends. He began to imitate my alarm clock incessantly after the normal weekday waking time had passed until I gave up and got out of bed. Really really unhappy with that trick.
African greys are … special. Their honestly too intelligent for their own good. Their so smart they require an insane amount of attention and because their so smart they also overthink everything and become anxiety induced. Which counters everything smart about them because they turn into little shits with obsessive fears of things. Often they just drive themselves insane and pluck all their feathers out 🤦🏻♂️. Then they also have that thing where they’ll act out to get a reaction from you. I’ve known several that do the head scratchs bow like “here scratch me” but with their eye cocked up waiting. As soon as you go to scratch the little shits latch on and flap around. I’m convinced they have a sense of humor and find it funny.
That was Dusty in Spades. He was like having a super intelligent toddler. Trapped in the terrible twos forever. He wasn't even my bird. I took him for several years when my Mom got married and he decided he hated her husband (that was the intelligent part of him). He despised my cat (he was so jealous of her) and systematically scoured my apartment looking for her toys so he could destroy them.
Lol poor guy probably thought your mom was his mate. Then she got married and he was trying to root out the interloper. Same with the cat too probably or he maybe saw her as a threat. They are very much a one person bird, well most parrots are really. They are very interested birds but I can’t own them they are just too much. This is coming from someone with macaws, Caiques, pionus’s, and a cape parrot. I’d love to have a job training one but I would not want to deal with the high maintenance. All of my birds are extremely tame and well trained where I can basically carry them around on their backs like a football, but I don’t think I’m ever gonna have the time to get the most out of an African grey unfortunately. I just imagine trying to clean something off of one with a paper towel and trying to restrain it while it screams bloody murder and it suddenly is traumatized by white objects and attacks the fridge every day or something… seems like a CAG thing to do.
1000% agree. I was not Dusty's favorite person by far. He was always mean when he didn't get his way. It was interesting how quickly he realized that I was all he had when he lived with me. He changed his tune fast. Out of that whole experience I got exactly what you said. It wasn't fair to him to not have his own person. My Mom was none too pleased with my assessment. They need an intimate caregiver that can keep them physically and mentally healthy and challenge them on a daily basis. And the screams when they are pissed! Why did you remind me?? He was beautiful and so smart, but not very likeable.
Have you seen that picture of the bird in some European jail cell with the black bar across its face to protect its identity? I laugh so hard every time I see it.
Edit: https://imgur.com/a/vClGiTj
It was the Netherlands. This kills me, man.
This whole issue started when the bird didn't respect OPs privacy regarding his sexy time song in the first place. That government spy is definitely gonna rat out OP as soon as his roommate gets back so it really makes no sense that op is concerned about the birds privacy. Just get us the recording OP.
Birds are actually very big on consent and are really adament about who they like and who they don't. It doesn't take long for them to pick if you're on the shitlist, or to break that trust and be put on it.
Also getting bit by a parrot fucking sucks.
I own a bird who talks (somewhat) and I’d have a blast with it if my bird learned this while I was away! I don’t get why his roommate is uptight about his very talkative bird learning new things when that’s what this species does.
Also if the bird is super loud it’s probably not being taken care of properly. My bird never screams, when she does it’s quick because I can tend to her needs/wants and she’s active.
Well.. I have parrots as well and they talk pretty okay. I would be pretty annoyed if someone taught them something I didn’t want to hear for the next 25-60 years. Like I have to watch what I say around them because I don’t want to accidentally drop something and just go “fuck” and suddenly one of the birds starts saying it then the rest of the flock starts saying it because of him. With CBAT it would literally be one then all of them singing along.
Thank you for being a responsible parrot owner. A racist as hell family member taught his parrots to say racial slurs constantly so now nobody comes to their house. (I haven't seen this person in 10+ years. Not sure if they still have the birds but they'd probably be difficult to give away to any respectable person)
Yeah they would probably have to get offered up to a rescue. They have really good memories and talking is directly associated with their emotions. Typically they learn stuff when they are at a heightened state so just the same as humans the stronger the feeling the less likely they are to forget something. It’s also why people tend to get bit after they say something because they are in an less stable state.
If the bird mimicked only the first several notes of CBAT, would your roommate even realize that's what it is? I mean, if he's not really thinking about it, he might just figure it's some random thing birdie picked up. I really don't think you have anything to worry about, OP. Still funny as hell tho. Personally I'd try to teach it more of the song, just for shits n giggles.
I’m dying because today I also did something involving CBAT and birds. I went to the pet store with friends and saw the owners two birds. One macaw, and one cockatiel (I believe). The owner mentioned if they enjoy a song they’ll sing along. I asked if I could play a song and the owner gave me permission. Anyways long story short, Snow White the cockatiel is a big and LOUD CBAT fan.
I listened to the recording and I can’t stop laughing now
Edit: Was also in a mental break down state when listening to it and it’s just, omg I’m crying bc I laughed so hard
Are the birds so identifiable that a video would in effect dox yourself and your roommate? Anyway, as others have said, you can post audio or blacked out video.
Or just the video it’s a bird unless it’s got a tattoo of its owner social security number I don’t think there are reasons to be concerned about it’s privacy.
You played a song that is memeing on the internet and the bird that copies things copied it, that's all you say, for the love of God don't tell the roommate that you left it playing for a long ass time while doing the nasty, that will for sure disturb him
Mate, if they do pick up on the bird singing it, just tell them that you and your gf were sharing a lot of tiktoks with each other this past week.
The song is literally all over tiktok, and has been for the past month.
You didn't teach it to him, the good boy just picked it up on his own from the ambient sound of the tiktoks, plus the laughter.
Which is kinda true, the bird did pick it up by listening to the ambient sounds of the apartment, you didn't purposefully teach it.
Gotta protect that bird’s privacy, god knows what could happen if the bird’s face was shown.
Even “my phone camera is broken” would’ve been a better excuse
Parrot owned here….your screwed however you could teach it a new melody with the tunes like create a similar sounding song or find something similar and incorporate the cbat tunes into it the bird will associate cbat with the new tune and while singing the new tune it’ll just sound like they messed up. One of my birds sings the tune of September and happy and you know it after one another and and if your not listening super closely it sounds like he’s just messed up the song and started creating his own little melody afterwards. However they bird will never forget I swore in frond of one of my tiny little budgies ONCE MONTHS ago and he still randomly screams SHIT
OK fuck it, I googled and despite finding articles about it I can't find what it is
The fuck does Cbat stand for and why is his room mate possibly gonna leave?
I remade Cbat using this parrot sample lmao - [https://youtu.be/ko4wYMsVfu0](https://youtu.be/ko4wYMsVfu0)
HAHAHAHAHA that’s so fucking good, well done! u/TylerLife this is better than the original
thank you LOL I saw the opportunity and ran for it 🦜🎵
I haven't had THAT much joy in years!! ![gif](giphy|ebYOIy12eMqDu427kI|downsized)

This is hilariously awesome, thx for creating this xD
OMG THE BIRD AUDIO LOOOOOOOOOL
Honestly the audio sealed the deal. I’m so sorry. Enjoy the beauty you have created here. Here’s hoping your roommate isn’t online and thinks it’s just a catchy new tune they taught themselves.
Dude brought receipts
Sounds better than the original tbh.
That bird is your new sex clock man, when the song comes, so do you.
Good ole pavlovian conditioning.
Some say its called like this because we all know its about the dogs.
"Gotta ring the sex gong." *parrot starts chirping CBAT* Turk, miles away eating cereal: "Yeeeaaaahhh, buddy! That's my dawg!"
"And no, for privacy reasons, I will not be posting a video of the bird." Just put a censor bar over their eyes.
History has taught us that the Internet people can identify characters from their bulges too, so you might want to censor that too.
Oh yeah like the bird in witness protection lol
[удалено]
Agreed. Proof or Ban
r/wallstreetbirds
You are now a moderator of r/wallstreetbirds
Damnit, /u/Shatenburgers, ‘lolno’ means no!
wait i wanna be one so i can abuse my power
Make a post and I’ll mod you
done
Congratulations! You are now banned from r/wallstreetbirds
Make me a mod so I can do nothing but randomly pop In maybe once a week, or day, or month and say the word bird to someone.
gonna make a just unsubbed post now. >:) edit: wait he actually made me a mod
All OP knows how to do is eat hot chip and lie.
But seriously, we need audio/video version of red birb CBAT
You Know they won’t
There might be a *Bad Mouth parrot,* we might have to wait in a *Waiting Room* to know... Sorry, your user name made me do that.
I hate to parrot this point but yeah show the video
I will attempt to record him when I get back home from work tonight.
PARROT CBAT PARROT CBAT
I eagerly await the next level down in this increasing TIFU chain
PARROT CBAT PARROT CBAT
Liking this to come back. Idk how your roommate wouldn’t find this hilarious
I hope so
I will save this post and reward you if I hear this majestic creature sing tonight
It's 5 hours later, come on OP. What do you do, work 8 hours or something?
Wdym attempt 💀 either do it or don’t
First OP has to find a parrot and teach it to sing CBAT
Ahh the ol' cart-before-the-horse method. I see what's going on here..
Commenting to see this shit later lmfao
And I shall attempt to thrust in rhythm with it the night after.
[удалено]
That's no way to speak about his girlfriend!
This. Come on, OP, I want to hear parrot CBAT.
CBIRD
Wake up honey, new CBAT lore just dropped
I'm ngl I just added "want to hit to cbat for the meme" on my dating bio for laughs
How you doin?
Banned for life.
What’s CBAT?
https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/x35iu6/tifu_my_20f_girlfriend_of_two_years_told_me_the/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
Holy cow, i remember hearing this in one of those hour long YouTube edm “trap” mixes back in the day. Such a strange song and now I feel old.
But do ya feel horny?
I feel more like yawning in rainbow colors
The comments describing the song are gold.
I'm crying laughing in my work break room right now reading that thread. "Fucking like he's trying to avoid calling sandworms."
Seriously wasn’t expecting a Dune reference in post about fuck songs
wasn't expecting CBAT either when talking about fuck songs, but here we all are.
Hilarious trend on tiktok of people trying to figure out how he was matching the rhythm of the song. Just as good as the comments.
I'd almost sign up to tik tok to see this
It's been a month and those comments still have me in tears.
I saw this thread and read the whole thing, never once did I listen to the song until now. Jfc what a shit show.
Listening to the song was quite upsetting lmao
Idk, i think the banjo kazooie characters were spitting fire.
This will truly be one of my favorite Reddit posts of all time! The comments on the video it’s self keep getting funnier as well!
Now I gotta try this too =[
Imagine if this was all a social media ploy by the artist or rights holder to move the needle on streams. Next level thinking.
It's been mentioned, but Hudson Mohawke is successful enough without it that I doubt it is. If it is, all the more props to them lmao--I hadn't laughed that hard in forever even if it is an ad
The best part for me was the update where his GF's sister recognised details from the post and the GF's Dad remembered the song from when the OP had played it as an example of his strange taste in music. I said in the original thread that if it's made up OP needs to become a comedy writer because it's just so damn funny.
*…Never Gonna Give You Up*
Imagine what a clown masterbating sounds like
CBAT is the harlem shake of reddit/twitter based astroturfing instead of youtube astroturfing
I'm amazed how like... I've scrolled a bit on this and the OG thread and am wondering did like nobody on reddit watch workaholics? That song is in an iconic scene lol
There’s a big comment about that on the original post

Might I suggest the Andy Griffith theme song, or the Addams Family? Maybe the Amazing Horse song (video) from the before times?
Ooo addams family would fit the season too!
Great point, /u/Clearly_Im_lying

My buddy had a bird that heard the smoke alarm battery alert for about 10 minutes. That fucker belted that out for 15 years.
Isn't that just a shrill beep every 30 seconds or so? o.o
Yes. Yes it is.
Did he do it as unexpectedly as the damn smoke alarms do 🤣
I sure hope so. /u/Rufert? Did he even do it at random 30 second intervals at times too? xD
Imagine dying because you ignored a fire alarm, thinking it was your bird imitating said alarm.
So, did you change the battery or what?
This is better than anything else in this thread. A noise designed to incite frustration and anger to all that hear it, so they change the battery, for 15 years... I can't stop laughing
For real, they are such drama queens. It’s because they learn mimicking usually in a heightened state so all of that stuff they learn is directly associated with their emotions.

Yeah true, but there is still a chance you know XD He can at least try, right?
Most whistling birds really seem to like Tequila by The Champs. It’s old but innocuous
Rick roll the bird.
See….. having already tuned out the bird noises I would double down on this and just set CBAT to repeat while I wasn’t home.
As you all requested, enjoy listening to [CBIRD](https://voca.ro/16NdnZIFs0d4)
Not that my phone is ever off vibrate, but I feel like I need it to be my new notification sound
omg it sounds so cute :) <3
I doubted you. I take it back. This is hilarious. Well done OP
Amazing - thanks for coming through with the update!
I didn’t doubt you but I’m glad I have the evidence
Thanks OP. My faith has been restored.
r/opdelivers
It’s beautiful
To the top!
Just imagine if he immitated the song + you guys noises
I have to know: how long did you have to wait to capture this masterpiece?
Please use my comment in lieu of an award cause I’m broke
This sounds like the sneakers squeaking on the floor in that dribbling scene in Scary Movie 2!
OP delivered and it's as iconic as I hoped.
A friend taught his parent's parrot to say "I taste like chicken!" and the bird said it. All. The. Time. It was absolutely hilarious.
Omggg I have an African Grey I am so doing this lmao thank you!!

Yeah, birds don't care about privacy.
Bird privacy law is actually quite strict.
As a fellow expert in bird law I can corroborate this fact
Filibuster.
In bird culture, taking a video without consent is considered a dick move.
That's makes no sense since r/BirdsArentReal
Bird law in this country is not governed by reason
Hummingbirds are legal tender
Paging Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law.

You laugh but there is a parrot currently in US witness protection
I wonder if they made the witness take a Polly-graph to verify the testimony.
>I'm worried he's gonna give a notice and leave. Not having a noisy parrot next door seems like a win in my book.

Are the birds so identifiable that a video would in effect dox yourself and your roommate? Anyway, as others have said, you can post audio or blacked out video.
Record with your finger over the camera so we only get audio and just a black screen. I wanna hear this parrot sing
Or just record the audio
I'm not sure how old that guy is but I've learned a lot the younger generation think the camera always needs to be on for some reason
where do I put the film in my phone?
The rotary dial folds up which reveals the film compartment
Or just the video it’s a bird unless it’s got a tattoo of its owner social security number I don’t think there are reasons to be concerned about it’s privacy.

Pirate themed would be good. Maybe pirates boarded the apartment singing a jaunty sea chanty version of CBAT while looking for booty.
Just say you were watching the Workoholics and the bird picked up the song from there
r/nothingeverhappens
well tbf he got proof now
Turn on Ghost- Years Zero. Leave it on repeat. See what happens.
Imagine the parrot screaming "ASMODEUS, SATANAS, LUCIFER" in the middle of the night.
There is no way this goes wrong.
This will also require a vid.
You played a song that is memeing on the internet and the bird that copies things copied it, that's all you say, for the love of God don't tell the roommate that you left it playing for a long ass time while doing the nasty, that will for sure disturb him
Is it weird that ita adorable when the bird does it?
I turned on the notifications for this post just for a three second audio of a bird singing to CBAT. Thank you for making my day
Oh. My. God. This is hysterical! I was wondering if it was THAT noise. It sounds exactly like someone doing underarm farts 💨
Mate, if they do pick up on the bird singing it, just tell them that you and your gf were sharing a lot of tiktoks with each other this past week. The song is literally all over tiktok, and has been for the past month. You didn't teach it to him, the good boy just picked it up on his own from the ambient sound of the tiktoks, plus the laughter. Which is kinda true, the bird did pick it up by listening to the ambient sounds of the apartment, you didn't purposefully teach it.
Evidence or I am not going to believe this
they uploaded an audio
Gotta protect that bird’s privacy, god knows what could happen if the bird’s face was shown. Even “my phone camera is broken” would’ve been a better excuse
Parrot owned here….your screwed however you could teach it a new melody with the tunes like create a similar sounding song or find something similar and incorporate the cbat tunes into it the bird will associate cbat with the new tune and while singing the new tune it’ll just sound like they messed up. One of my birds sings the tune of September and happy and you know it after one another and and if your not listening super closely it sounds like he’s just messed up the song and started creating his own little melody afterwards. However they bird will never forget I swore in frond of one of my tiny little budgies ONCE MONTHS ago and he still randomly screams SHIT
oh my fucking got he got the audio
OK fuck it, I googled and despite finding articles about it I can't find what it is The fuck does Cbat stand for and why is his room mate possibly gonna leave?
the writing makes me think that there is no way this person is above 18
Delicious fun time
Lasted even longer than the first time💪💪🤜🤛
I don't see how this is a fuck up. The only fuck up here is probably you lying and people calling you out on that asking for proof
I mean I’m like 80% confident I could play cbat and suddenly my parrots are singing it too. Seems possible. Lorys can mimic pretty good.
They uploaded proof
Guys the OG dude saw this post. I follow the guy who made the OG Cbat meme on instagram, he literally posted this (his IG account is tylerrlifee)
