  It’s crucial that you walk in without fear, because the animals can smell fear and will devour you

  I actually knew someone who died of that parrot disease. Psittacosis? He caught it off a budgie.

  Here it is: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psittacosis

      You can rescue some as I have. Birds are very unique and fun, but fragile and want as much love as they give (which is a lot).

      I have two conures, one was “too loud” and ignored in the corner of their garage for a few years until he started pulling out all his feathers and chewing off one of his toes, at which point he was donated.

      It took about a month to get him to trust me. He will not stop attacking his own feathers, but now does so in a relaxed, quiet way while on my shoulders. He loves to just hang out with me while I’m doing some design work or programming, calling from the open door of his cage in a certain way when he wants to shoulder surf. He’s afraid of everyone else, but I know him, his body language tells me that he likes being around me.

      They are a unique gift in terms of a life form. I wouldn’t buy one. Go for a rescue, try to sense their personalities as you talk to them. Image

      Dont, they cling to one owner, they live a lot of time and they need a lot of socialization. Its not a humane pet to have.

      There’s a better reason not to do that. They can live over 70 years.

  Parrots were about 6 or 7X their current size back in those days, so it was irresponsible for this shop to have ever hosted them.

    Suddenly, there was a terrible roar all around us, and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats parrots, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, and a voice was screaming: “Holy Jesus. What are these goddamn animals?”

    ‘E’s not pinin’! 'E’s passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E’s expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E’s a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn’t nailed 'im to the perch 'e’d be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E’s off the twig! 'E’s kicked the bucket, 'e’s shuffled off ‘is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin’ choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!
