Carefully vet the videos you show to Davy, you don't want him picking up bad habits from parrots on screen, things like screaming or cursing. And he very well could do that - Salty learns a lot of words and songs from watching youtube videos. He usually introduces him self, and asks 'Are you a bird? A pretty bird?'. Try looking at videos with one specific type of parrot, you might find Davy likes only them - Salty loves videos with Indian Ringnecks and learns fastest from them. Oddly enough, videos of Amazons only get him excited and African Greys leave him flat and he will wander away.
I'm definitely going to preview them from now on. The first video I clicked on was just a parrot yelling every swear word ever spoken. We're trying to clean up our language before he really starts talking. And I never want to tell him to shutup or anything! I feel like birds that are constantly saying stuff like that are being emotionally abused on some level.
