      How would you like to be locked up in a cage for ever, never get outside and wonder around..?

      I'd never get a bird.

        My g/fs parents have lovebirds. One died, and the other just picks its own feathers out.

                          Rockatansky:

                          Perhaps a parrot. Anyone with birds here?
                          I've not got contact info here, but check out the chance of rescuing a parrot if that is what you want.

                          There are plenty parrots in "sactuaries" at the moment where folks have chucked them out cos they are not willing to spend their lives with em - often a parrot will outlive us:-)

                          These "parrot homes" are trying to ship them back to their natural habitat - places like Costa Rica - but there is a possible disease problem if the imported birds mixed with the indigeous species and then wiped them out.

                          I don't own birds - so no expert, there are just here and free to do as they wish, tho remain mainly in the area in which they were born - friendly and like human interaction :-)

                              Only get a bird if:

                              - You like being awoken every morning at 7AM with high pitched shreeking noises.

                              - You like having a fucking mess of bird seed and bird shit in 3 foot perimeter around the cage.

                              - You like having the woodwork around your house chewed to shit.

                              - You enjoy having your nose or finger ripped off.

                                  It's important to remember that large birds like parrots are quite intelligent. They want to be a part of your family and spend a lot of time with you. If you don't have the time and patience to include it, it can go quite crazy. Some birds go as far as self mutiliation. Also remember it will be around for a very long time. It might even out live you. Birds are really not for everybody.

                                        I had a bird once... It was a canary... I asked my parents for a dog but I got a canary... that canary is dead... I don't miss it.

                                                        It's the kinda person that would own a rottweiler and dress it up in "macho" kit with studded collars and crap to make it more macho

                                                        I was thinking of getting a poodle - what ya think?? *lol*
