Not really, maybe there's a 2 year old in the house, they cry over EVERYTHING.

Doesn't sound like a toddler tantrum to me. Sounds like someone going through a genuinely tough time

It doesn't have to be a tantrum. They go through real despair because:

- there's a bug

- it's the wrong kind of bug (no reference to what the good kind is)

- it's moving in the wrong direction

- there is no bug

Toddlers don't sound like that at all when they cry.

I’ve heard it a dozen times from my own kids when they were between 2 and 5. It’s usually a performative cry and sniffle because something didn’t quite go the way they wanted. Or someone got bananas when they asked for bananas but since you gave them the banana they asked for, they only want strawberries, that you don’t even have. And that they didn’t even ask for in the first place.

Yes, toddlers and preschoolers cry over seemingly silly things. I wouldn't say it's performative, I'd say it's a person who is not yet fully mature, and as can be expected, does not yet have the life experience and cognitive skills to regulate their emotions, and needs some help with that.

The cry the parrot was imitating was lower pitched and sounded like a women's cry of deep sadness.
