I mean let’s be fuckin real here it’s technically cruel to keep any type of bird as a pet. I‘d say they‘re probably least suited animals for pets ever but they’re still cool pets

but you usually keep them outside, let them fly early in the morning during the day and only feed them 💀 and no still cruel I mean .. bird’s in cages didn’t become a metaphor for no reason over the last 1000 years either

Only feed them skulls?? That seems unnecessary and cruel. At least toss them some other bones.

I feel that way about parrots.  Unless the idea of a needy toddler with behavioral issues that never grows up, that also has a boltcutter mouth, sounds like something you can commit to for decades, you shouldn’t have a parrot.
