'America's Got Talent' Season 19 contestant Owl Man previously appeared as Parrot Man in Season 17 of the NBC show. He performed his zany solo comedy routine but unfortunately was eliminated in the audition round. Parrot Man was notably confused with the infamous Sethward, and viewers were expecting he might return to troll the judges again.

However, David Safier's Parrot Man act failed to become a fan favorite, branded as the 'most annoying act' of the season. Parrot Man returned for Season 18 to deliver a paid performance as part of a collaboration between 'AGT' and sponsor 'KIA'.
