66. From what I've learned of parrots over the years, this isn't unrealistic.
You should look into animal behavior specialists, particularly those who deal with birds, and find out if parrots could be a service animal. They can certainly be taught.

I would have said 'trained', but parrots, from what I've learned, are smarter than mere 'training'; they're smart enough to be taught.

A 911 crooning parrot that can detect cardiac distress or other imminent, sudden maladies could well be a very good thing for many people. You should pursue your idea. Something lifesaving could come of it- and even ONE life saved is worth all the effort.
