Ha ha yeh your not wrong there. I almost ran out to buy a cockatoo but then I thought imagine the mess a big parrot like that would make. Did you watch the clip Hannah? I just piss myself every time I see it

My grandmother had a parakeet (not a semikeet or a quasikeet or a pair of keets, just one parakeet) and she would let it fly around in the house. She has this mirror that hangs from a wire on her living room wall, like a painting, but with no frame and the bird was always standing on the top edge of that mirror. It's hung over the couch. Not long after grandma died Christmas Eve 1999, my aunt got the house and decided to clean up a bit. She took the mirror off the wall and moved the couch away and there was TONS of bird shit on the wall, the mirror and on the floor and wall behind the couch!!!! It's a miracle she didn't die from toxicity!!!!

A friend of the family had at least one cockatiel and they kept it in a separate room in their house. My dad's cousin was the chief of police and lived right next door to them and kept telling us about how that bird just squawked all day long!! It also destroyed the room it was in by tearing up all the wallpaper with it's beak!! Dogs and, maybe fish, would be the only pets I'd ever have! Nearly all other animals are too destructive and just don't give a shit about your belongings!

I had two cockatiels and they are the top of the pantry door little buggers.
Yeh birds do make a dreadful mess. Poos and dust off their wings. Cockies can be veryyyyy loving to their owners if hand raised

Nothing against birds, but I think I'd rather have an aardvark. Maybe a platypus. Or a wombat.

I missed this. Lol wtf an ardvark or wombat lol
