Parrots are good pets

you are wrong, crows, european magpies and starlings are far superior. Highly intelligent birdys with quite some mimikry ability. And they look way cuter

Try getting license for one.

They're expensive?

Saw some Mynah birds as a little kid. Blew my mind.

Depends on where you life, faggot ;^)

>They're expensive?
From $10 for budgie up to $15 000 to hyacinth macaw.

Karl Pilkington had a pet magpie. It didn't go well.

Nigger. Why government even exists?

My mum's (82) got a budgie. I want something that talks. Mynah birds are freaky. I was looking for a speaker. Ain't parrots like 1000 quid?

aww

gibs cheese pleese

Parrots are wacky autistic children that live for a hundred years.

Never tell someone to get a parrot. I have to imagine most pet parrots lead shitty lives in tiny cages with no stimulation because retards think they're like goldfish or something.

Parrots need lots of stimulation, companionship, toys to play with, interaction, they're literally strange little alien children that might live longer than you will. It's a huge commitment.

Why shouldn't you use round cages?

Because they stress with no squares

>Ain't parrots like 1000 quid?
Depends, as I said.
You can get budgie (which are technically parrots) for as low, as $10.
African grays are like $800-2000, depending on the region
Cockatiels, monks are probably around $100-200
Macaws - $800 - 15 000...

And they can live for 50, 60, 70 years.
Have you made arrangements for who will inherit your parrot? And what they can do if your parrot doesn't like them?

I mean, they're cool, but they're also a big commitment.

They orientate through corners. No corners and they have to search everything.

Ok. I knew not to use them. My mum's budgie actively shuts his door on his cage. He likes to shut himself in. Is that normal?

He also had a mini disco ball, those mirrored balls you get in shit 70s discos. He systematically removed each mirrored tile and threw them on the floor. Why? He likes his other mirrors.

>And they can live for 50, 60, 70 years.
Depends on species.
>Have you made arrangements for who will inherit your parrot?
Well, when you're 20 you don't think about this. At this point it would be someone from family
>And what they can do if your parrot doesn't like them?
Kek, take it to a shelter.

Dont forget they are loud as shit and abuse themselves if you ignore them. Thats why so many people release them to the wild

>pet parrots lead shitty lives in tiny cages with no stimulation because retards think they're like goldfish or something.
Thankfully this is changing thanks to youtube.

They shit all over the place and there is no "species guarantee"that they will enjoy talking, doing tricks, or hanging out. I am sure some of them are stupid like anything else. I don't have one because I like running around with my dog. A parrot is a homebody pet.

If I was going to get a bird it would be an african grey.

A friend of mine got a parrot about 6 years ago.
He really likes it, but it seems to be a huge mess maker imo. Any paper it sees it'll tear to shreds and leaves it all over the house. Since he got it his house it always dusty and he's pretty sure it has something to do with the bird since his place wasnt like that before getting it. Twice a day, once in the morning and again in the evening he completely scrubs, mops, and vacuums the house. He also cleans it's cage twice a day, and it seems like a complete chore as it's a very large cage that takes up an entire corner of a room. He says it takes him an hour to clean this cage each time he does it.

In 99.9% this is not a wild, since that is not their natural habitat.

He is skittish. He likes to stay in his cage but also likes it when you talk to him, from a distance. Disco ball was odd. Animals innit.
Thanks for replying.

What?
Where do you live?

I mean, is this a pet bird, or wild one.

Zimbabwe

>Parrots aren't stupid
yes they are, all birds are dumb as shit and wholly obnoxious. Why do you want a pet whose only abilities are eat, shit, and make noise? Get something you can actually play with.

Crusty sock puppet removal leads to mass reeeeeeee!

Whoa. I though Zimbabwe had no internet.

Secretary bird?

Nah, they aren't.
Depends on species. More expensive - more better, more smarter.

Yes, they are.

African grays are smart. Search "African grey intelligence" on youtube

Found that nigger without you,

I have a macaw and an amazon currently. Fucking macaw is screaming her ass off right now but gonna let it out soon to chill with me. They're a big hassle but i love them.

my parents had birds when i was a kid. they had an african grey that was cool but i was always worried that something would scare him when he was sitting on my shoulder playing with my ear that would cause him to bite it off. Those beaks can do damage.

They also had a sun conure that they got rid of because it was so dirty. I thought it was the smartest bird that they ever had. it would never shit in its cage. she would climb halfway up the side of her cage and take dumps through the bars that landed on our floor. Genius

I have noticed, that african grays are like niggers, they are assholes. I dealt with many other birds, but only fucking gray (and lovebirds) use shamelessly their beaks.

Is that a pro or con?

search "I don't like birds" on google

You're the best

the hardest bite that i ever took was from a love bird. that son of a bitch bitch my finger through the cage and latched on like a pit pull. she only let go because i damn near pulled her cage off of its stand.

the grey never bit me but he almost always took a shit on me. any other bird they had would shit on me and i would just give it a few seconds to dry and just wipe it off without as much as a dirty spot left behind. that grey would shit on me and i could feel the wetness on my skin through my shirt.

Doggo, go get me a pair of socks.

Bird, sit there and squawk.

Just like people, smart=/= useful.

Grays are big parrots, so it makes sense. I trained my gray to shit on command and such accidents were rare.

This is some lady I work with:

She has like 47 parrots.

Please send her congratulations for her bird collection.

i wish you could train me to shit on command. i could get an extra hour of sleep every morning

My name is Shawn, btw. Tell her I was advertising for her!

why are you trying to get shawn in trouble at work?

Also, ask her about why she has a bird torture chamber. She fucks the birds.

Are you a parrot? I don't know how to train humans (yet).
Idk, try holding the needful on weekends, so you release it in the evening.

No, I'm Shawn. I'm just promoting Sandra's bird sex collection.

Dogs are pretty useful if you're actually dedicated to putting the work in and raising it with discipline and a job from a puppy.

Birds are more just good company if you're lucky.

But you're most likely to run into shit owners in most cases who spent the money and thought they would have a superpet out of the box.

I am sure birds are great but every single person I have ran into who owns one is a hoarder that never leaves their home and is immune to the smell of acidic shit.

A lot of people get pets because they want something "easy and conveniently popular" instead of desiring something to be dedicated to, get attention with, and make money by. These shit people are a majority and flood responsible people which is the reason we can never stop making it against the law to be stupid. I just hate to see all these animals develop bonds then be given up once their owner is bored. I used to see it constantly when selling rabbits. That's awful to do to something with six times the lifespan

Finally someone is talking some sense on this board

my parents had a male cockatiel that would always fuck my dads hand. just my dads hand. my dad thought it was funny until the time the bird actually nutted. he never touched that bird again

>Dogs are pretty useful if you're actually dedicated to putting the work in and raising it with discipline and a job from a puppy.
How exactly are they useful?
Unless we're speaking about service dogs, they are somewhere on the same level with birds in terms of being useful.
>I am sure birds are great but every single person I have ran into who owns one is a hoarder that never leaves their home and is immune to the smell of acidic shit.
I honestly have no fucking idea how you make birds smell anyhow. Probably not cleaning their cages for months will do.
What can I say for sure, is that a lot of birds are being plain abused, since they are being treated as goldfish or something.

Blue-yellow macaws always remind me some muslim dude for a reason. Mainly due to dark feathers under beak and "hat" on head.

Kek.
That is actually quite common thing with birds. They fuck everything

They can be trained to do things you need. There isn't some magical barrier between a service animal and any other dog. Pull a sled, fetch, herd animals, kill pests, guard livestock, wake you up if something is wrong, sit next to you lick your face when something is wrong, the list goes on and on. Birds can be smart but aren't physically capable of being as useful as a dog no matter how hard a boner you have for them.

Probably just need to put in more time and effort.

>They can be trained to do things you need.
Same can be said about a parrot.
>Birds can be smart but aren't physically capable of being as useful as a dog no matter how hard a boner you have for them.
True. At least you can put perch a parrot on a boner, without risking.

We can all agree on this

You can say it, but it isn't true. A parrot can do none of the things I listed.

I love birbs

If you have a fetish for claws in the dick I suppose.

> There isn't some magical barrier between a service animal and any other dog.
There is. It is owner. 90% of dog owners don't use their dogs as tools.
>Pull a sled, herd animals,
Well, that is true, due to parrots not being capable
>kill pests
I think you can do something with falcons or other raptors, if you have extra time to fuck around.
Only pests that parrots can kill are houseflies and mosquitos.
>wake you up if something is wrong, sit next to you lick your face when something is wrong
Technically you can train them. There were cases, where parrots were shouting fire, which actually caused neighbors to call firefighters.
And only if you have foreskin I guess.

Why birdfags from /an/ want to fuck a bird?

I dunno, my birb gets on my ass. By that I mean I lay on my stomach and he perches on my ass. But seriously, birds are awesome.

Cool. Birds are awesome.

Do you know what a barrier is?

>well technicaly
less useful

If your dick is made out of skin, you guess.

Man people stuck in their own heads are retarded

Sometimes you get a bad bird sometimes you get a shitty bird. But I can tell you if you make your bird amazing...it is something else. This is Zuzu she was my first owned bird. I got her when she was a baby (bought her but the breeder kept her but let me see her every so often so she was already used to me) and when I got her home, she was basically the sweetest fucking thing on the planet. She would come up to you for petting, rubs hell you can be a stranger and she would come right up to you never one biting. The only she would bite is if she was going to lay phantom eggs (which was the reason she no longer with us anymore) Do you think birds make great pets? Yes but you must actually put effort into them you don't they become just pains....I fucking miss Zuzu.

I think birds are beautiful but I much more enjoy visiting people that have peacocks roaming their property vs shut ins with bird cages stacked where ever there isn't trash. Birds just aren't meant to be kept inside somewhere all the time. They were made to roam free. People getting the most exotic animals possible just to say they own them is bad.

rip zuzu

Corvids are vastly superior.

a picture would help

Agreed, but you should know what one is.

>Do you know what a barrier is?
Yes.
Thing is, dogs are like pick-up trucks. Some people get them, because they need them, meanwhile others get because "muh F150, muh cool" and never use them as intended. Except that is not as bad, if we're talking about dogs, since there are a lot of breeds that can't do anything useful.
>less useful
Parrots ain't meant to be useful at all, just saying this is possible.

So there's no barrier to installing floodlights, you just choose not to. Where a bird is incapable.

That's a barrier. You're explaining an obstacle.

But let's face it, 99% of people get dogs just because they want a pet, and they will not train it to do anything useful, maybe besides bringing slippers. I had mentioned service dogs for a reason.

Fuck birds, they are stupid.
