I see only a few peaks starting in 2008 that are in the double digit numbers. Could these just be queries containing the words "stochastic" and "parrot"?

For instance, there's this ecology paper from 2014: Influence of stochastic processes and catastrophic events on the reproductive dynamics of the endangered Maroon‐fronted Parrot Rhynchopsitta terrisi

Not sure what happens under the hood, but it wouldn't surprise me if people searching for this paper would show up under "stochastic parrot" in google trends even if that's not what they literally searched for.
