I have an African Grey, and while some of you may not consider her an exotic animal, she is. She even has a control band on her foot.
My wife bought her, because she whisteled at her when she walked by in the pet store. the owner took the bird out, and she got right on my wifes hand. 1000$ bucks later, we can not have anything in the house that is made of wood, because the bird likes to tear it to pieces. the first thing she destroyed was the headboard to our bed. 2k then the took the keyboard off of one of the laptops. 1.5k and then she did a nice bet of damage to a night stand. 300$ Ahe has destroyed 2 leather office chairs 600$
and the list goes on and on. it is not that we allow her to do this. You turn you back, answer the phone in the other room, or even take a piss, and she is destroying something when you get back. If you lock her in a cage, she will go crazy, and pull all her feathers out, and evewntually die. they are social and need to be held, and played with.
