I used to have birds and knew the pet store folks very well. But one bird I had I inherited from my grandma..and it did say "Quiet down" and "ouch" from people yelling at it to quiet down and the ouch, well you can figure that one out..LOL Some of those parrots can live like 80 yrs.
Awwww, inheriting a beloved pet is wonderful. I didn't know parrots lived so long.
True confession that parakeet my friend had? I gave it to him. It was my DD's as a child, but essentially my dad's. He taught it so much. After my dad died I knew I didn't have the patience to spoil a dang bird. My friend had him for at least another five years. He then proceeded to get three more over the years, but none was as cool as the one my dad trained. My friend though taught it to dive in this little pretend bath tub. Smart bird.
Sorry just brought back memories. FWIW we have a ton of pictures of that bird. So I can see where folks would have photos of a bird at least in the background.
