Talking Parrot Phenomenon

The sudden inexplicable inability to demonstrate an action to an audience specifically summoned to view said action.

This phenomenon receives its name from the premise of a pet "talking" parrot who is suddenly silent when guests are invited to see it "talk." "I swear!," says the owner, "He says all kinds of stuff! He says 'hello', he says our names! Really! I don't know why he won't do it now...." while the guests nod and say, "Suuure, he talks. We totally believe you."

EXAMPLE:

You "Every time I try to load this page I get a weird error message. I restarted and everything. Come in here and look at this."

IT Employee: "OK, show me what it's doing."

You: Repeat action that has resulted in a error 17 times in a row. Page now loads no problem. "I swear, it was giving me an error every single time before you were standing here. Talking Parrot Phenomenon, right there."

IT Employee: Gives you skeptical eye.

Originates from British Army deployment in the Far East. Soldiers heading home may actually have Monkeys and Parrots as souvenirs alongside their luggage.

come on guys, grab your monkeys and parrots and get in the car.

Back in the far east, they actually meant grab your monkeys and parrots!

May be said as ‘Parrots and Monkeys’; both are acceptable.
