Have you ever even hung out with an African grey, cockatoo, and macaw at the same time?
No. I’m not a beta who likes birds as pets. They belong is the wild.
I have dogs.

A thread where I actually agree with TH..I'm going to bed.

Yes, you have to keep up with their mess, but our bird was hilarious. Would walk over to table, climb up your leg and beg for cherrios. It attached to two members of our family and just tolerated the others. We enjoyed having her but she met an untimely death due to a new puppy in the house.

While not my type of pet, I do see some appeal. They can be very beautiful to look at. I hate the idea of them being in a cage though.

Why get them as pets?
I know, right?
Snakes are so much cooler.

Here's some bird trivia. Birds don't pee. They only crap.

They are super friendly, fun to have around, and they like to chill on your shoulder while you do whatever the hell it is you're doing around your house.
How do they warn you when they will crap? Do they?
I've seen people cradle birds like a baby.
I also can't remember the number, but was shocked at the life expectancy of large parrots etc. it is a real commitment.

My daughter was given one that was over 30 years old. Was a kick.
She had it for 9 years till it past away.

Why? they are loud, they smell, they shite all over, they carry disease, you cant play with them.
They can be loud absolutely, but not always. The one we have has no odor at all even when they poo. A dog or cat poo in the house smells all over. I suppose they can carry disease if you went and trapped your bird in the wild to domesticate it. You absolutely can play with it. You can't wrestle it like a dog, sure. But you can definitely interact with them.

Birds are dicks.

Growing up, my uncle had a parrot, and that thing was awesome. He would legit play tug of war with you, he would insult you, sang Christmas carols, stuff like that.
He had a personality, and if he was bored he would just come hangout on your shoulder and chill.

They're exhibits more than they are pets.

I had a female friend that had a small Parrot.
After a few years the Bird starting climbing up me and sitting on my shoulder.
It loved pot seeds and gatorade.
RIP Baby.

They aren't my birds.
Only betas accuse others of being betas.
Your dog is probably the alpha of your household.

The grey just sits in the cage with the door open and will randomly say stuff. Was eating chicken wings one night and he climbed out and walked over to my plate to beg.
My old roommate 30 years ago used to have a blue macaw that plucked its feathers. It looked like a damned whole chicken in the meat section of the supermarket. When we would get fried chicken, the bird would climb down off the top of it's cage and beg for a leg. He would get one and climb back up to the top of the cage like King Kong at the Empire State building and eat the entire chicken leg. Hell, that was a funny sight to see.
I had birds for years, and they were pretty funny and the mess was usually confined near the cage. They didn't smell and I never closed the cage doors unless I was leaving. Had to remember to leave the ceiling fans off when they were outside the cage.
As far as their crapping, I would wait until after they would do their business to put them on my shoulder. They would be good for 10 to 15 minutes after that.
They are pretty decent pets if you don't have a yard. I got dogs once I moved into a house with a yard.

Like mammals, birds are a class of vertebrate.
Since you and a cow are both mammals, are you a cannibal?
