It's a hyperactive 4-5 year old, with scissors for a face, that never matures. I love having parrots, but they're not at all for everyone, and in many ways make terrible pets.
- RajT88 3y agoA friend of mine's mother used to keep parrots, and I remember the biggest and oldest one well (an African grey). I still remember the playful "clip!" sound it would make as I walked past the cage, and it would lean towards me, trying to take a chunk out of me.
- SAI_Peregrinus 3y agoYep. The bigger parrots (macaws & large cockatoos) are more like bolt cutters for a face. I used to volunteer at a parrot rescue when I lived near one, we'd feed the hyacinth macaws unopened macadamia nuts. They'd crack the shells seemingly without effort.
