I never came to a solid conclusion concering the title of my novel. The subtitle, Mi vida, is quite self-explanatory which in Spanish means my life. From that you can assume the title concerns Manny's life in general. Although, I still cannot decide why it is titled the way it is.
But I like to assume that Manny constantly feels under pressure, or, under heat and that he is continually being "grilled" or "baked". The struggles he is presented with may "cook" him inside, and for that reason he looks at himself as the "Parrot in the Oven".
If I was going to create a title it would be, "Manny being Manny". Because he is simply trying to find his spot in society and the only way that he will achieve this is by becoming a man and being himself, "Manny being Manny".
