Why does my usually chill parrot freak out every time I try to record a vlog at home?

I’ve had my parrot, Kiwi, for about three years now, and she’s always been super chill around me and my partner. Lately, I’ve started making short vlogs at home about my day, and whenever I turn on the camera or start talking, Kiwi suddenly gets really agitated - flapping wings, loud squawking, even biting at the camera tripod once. It’s weird because she’s totally fine if I’m just chatting without filming or if my partner talks near her. I’ve tried filming in different rooms, using different cameras, and even recording without the tripod, but she still freaks out shortly after I start. I want to keep vlogging since it’s a fun creative outlet for me, but I don’t want to stress Kiwi out or damage our bond. Has anyone else had a pet act up only during specific activities like recording? How did you handle it without having to give up your hobby or force the pet to get used to something stressful? Could Kiwi be reacting to something subtle in the filming process that I’m missing?
