- mhurron 9mo agoYa, that's what it's like living in a country that hasn't been trying to destroy itself for some time now.
- steve_adams_86 9mo agoWe're able to buy electric cars from China, too. It's a whole civilization here. Of parrots and people
- tamimio 9mo agoExactly, I think articles like that are just a mockery.. there are 10s of things that can be considered a crisis than a this.
- koiueo 9mo agoI find no mockery or mean spirit in this article. FWIW I'm Ukrainian, having quite a lot to worry about.

There are a considerable number of people that if they were trolley problemed against a parrot I would likely save the parrot.
