I'm not a big fan of super, but I'm still wondering if

return super(self.__class__, self).parrot()

would have made it.

No, it wouldn't. [...]

I see.
Then is there a reason why
  return super(Subclass, self).parrot()
would be prefered over the "classic"
  return Base.parrot(self)
?
Or is it just a matter of preference ?
