There are older parrots who need homes. Dylan was one, she was 22 when I got her off
Craig's List. Yes an $800 price tag is up there. When you consider how long they live, a better deal than a pure-bred dog, IMHO. The beak is for defense, Dylan has never drawn blood. (Unlike many of my chickens in the past)! I did not push her, I have had other parrots (and chickens, dogs, horses) no animal is OK with being threatened.

Too right. Dogs are incredibly expensive.

For me, dog teeth are far more dangerous than Dylans 1/4" beak!

(I'm really only saying that to convince myself not to be stupid and go get a parrot just because I want one... shh)
I have a dog that has a personal vendetta against all feathered things. I didn't want her, but everyone else did, so we got her. Because of that, and how busy life gets sometimes, I suspect I'd end up not paying the poor thing near enough attention. :( Don't want to get something that lives nearly as long as a human if it's going to be lonely for most of it, until the kids go off to college and the dog dies.
 
I had a good laugh the other day. A friend stopped over while I was work and put solar panels on my coop. Ran some wires so I have a battery and can run some small lights. The flock gave him the full dinosaur encounter. :lau
He came out after and showed me what he did and what I need to know.
We walk into the coop and they all hop off the roosts and run right over to me. I swear I heard :eek:! "They definitely didn't do that for me."
I guess the boys mostly growled and made threatening noises. :rant
What can I say they know who brings the food.
 
Not around here for sure! The pullets know my back and shoulders are a sure, safe place to get a few bites of goodies they wouldn't get otherwise. Apprently they treasure that much more than I knew. :)

We all know our own family's needs. Dylan is the pet I got instead of another dog. My favorite dog I ever had killed 2 parrot chicks before she learned the rules. Dylan says, "Later", when she sees me getting ready to go out. She goes in her cage when I say, "Go Back". I know that she does not want me to go, but she accepts the reality of life in our family. When I come home, she says, "Come here", and I let her out. No jumping for joy like a dog, but I know she is glad I am back.

Birds are at least as intelligent as dogs, I believe. Dogs would attack a stranger.
