That's not a parrot, it's a White Cockatoo.

White cockatoos are intelligent, extremely stubborn, and not afraid of cats. They easily form relationships with humans and our other pets.

I'm woken by a noisy white cloud of cockies every morning, and a kitten we had once had the effrontery to try to catch one. We were all watching, knowing from experience that the cockies were gentle around pets.
Little Jasmine leaped towards a big cockie who had been looking cynically amused watching her stalk along the thick branch. When she was in mid leap the cockie stood on tiptoe and flapped its wings wide, cawing at her, scaring her so badly she has never tried to catch a bird since.

All the other cockies in the tree started this weird cawing as though they were laughing. You couldn't help but laugh along with them.
