This was posted to one of my other parrot groups:
1. Parrots hatch. This is a big plus!
2. As long as your parrot is alive, you will always have a child in the
house. (For some this may be seen as a disadvantage!)
3. A parrot plays like a child, talks like you, has temper tantrums like a
child, gets over them unlike some children.
4. A parrot will eat her veggies.
5. Parrots grow their own clothes which are usually attractive, colorful &
enhance their looks. A parrot will never wear a lycra see-through blouse or
their jeans below their underwear. If their underwear isn't clean, it means
that they are sick. They are good about their grooming.
6. Parrots are cheaper to educate & appreciate your efforts to educate
them. After classes are done, they do not move to the other side of the
country & stop calling you.
7. Your parrot talks to you. If she doesn't talk to you, she will sing
or whistle to you.
8. Parrots are good listeners. They love to hear you talk about anything
as long as they are not tired. If you wonder if they are listening, they
will repeat back to you what you said.
9. A parrot is always happy to have dinner with you. Or lunch or
breakfast. If they would let parrots in the stores, your parrot would go
shopping with you &/or to the movies. When she is tired, she will yawn &
go to sleep if you let her.
10. When a parrot is angry with you, she is direct about it. You will know.
There is no reading between the lines.
11. If you do not abuse your parrot, she will not stop talking to you
for years.
12. A parrot appreciates attempts to make her happy.
13. A parrot knows who is kind & who isn't. She does not reward those who are not kind. Those who love her & show her they love her are the ones she trusts. 14. Parrots do not go out & buy drugs or indulge in liquor.
15. Parrots are naturally smart!
16. At night parrots sleep quietly. They do not play drums or watch MTV
at full volume till 3 A.M. or hang out in bars or on street corners
carrying boom boxes & a bottle in a brown paper bag & funny handrolled
cigarettes in their pockets.
17. Parrots have a sense of boundaries. If you let them know, they will
sometimes respect yours but they won't hold a grudge over boundaries.
They will let you know where their boundaries are. There is no guessing with a parrot.
18. Parrots are cheerful, affectionate & fun-loving.
19. A parrot will never ask you for advice & then get mad at you for
giving it.
20. A parrot is a very forgiving creature.
21. Parrots do not pass methane gas!
