I don't suppose any of you lot has ever kept a parrot before? Is there any way to, er, unteach something once they've learned it?

[Letting Mitsunari parrot-sit Pi-chan may not have been the wisest of ideas.]

That aside, have any other crews given thought to setting up shop on an island? It's quite difficult to get done what I'd like to get done with this constant sailing from place to place with nowhere to return to. A pirate needs a proper base, after all.

[Home is where you hang your giant shark.]

They don't unlearn anything, but if you only give positive reinforcement for other things they'll grow out of it.

So don't reward whatever phrase you don't like with food or scritches. Instead, teach other things, reward those. Kind of the same as puppies and babies really.

[Maybe the lesson is never let Marco babysit, because he will treat them like parrots.]

That would work far better if the things he's gotten into the habit of repeating weren't things he hears every day...

[Honestly, there are days when it seems like the parrot's vocabulary is larger than the one who started this mess.]
