Police said it happened at a home in the 3600 block of Cortez Drive, north of Bachman Lake, at about 2 a.m. Tuesday.
Dennis Baker, who keeps several pet birds, said his Mexican Red-headed parrot "Salvador" said "hello" when he sees someone.
As a man passed by a window at his home, Salvador began saying "Hello, hello," awaking Baker.
Baker then saw the intruder on a surveillance system and shot him inside the home's detached garage, police said.
The intruder, who was identified as John Woodson, 46, was taken to Parkland Hospital in critical condition. He died a short time later.
People had burglarized the home, which is also used as a locksmith shop, several times in the last month, according to police.
Dallas police said Baker will not face charges because he was defending his property.
A bill passed earlier this year by legislators gives Texans a stronger legal right to defend themselves with deadly force in their homes, vehicles and workplaces.
