I agree with NotScaredtoDance. People need to know that training Kili took a lot of hard work on your part and you aren't going to be able to go buy a parrot and a week later have it doing tricks on demand. I can just imagine people seeing videos of Kili and thinking "how cute! I have to have one of those!" and then buying one without really knowing what they are getting into. That leads to either neglected or abused parrots or rehomed parrots.
In fact, it might be a good idea for a bunch of us to catch some bad behavior on video and maybe make a compilation. We can title it "Watch this before buying your Parrot" or maybe something more catchy but you the idea. Anybody have any scars from parrot bites they could share? It would not be a bad idea to have a video of the downsides of owning a parrot.
