We had a parrot, too, an Amazon. He was in the family before me, so my arrival was bewildering to one who used to be the baby of the family. My brother was the last straw and he went off all children and me after that. Full of personality, very possessive of my dad in that unfortunate parrot way. Bitey. God I loved him. He died suddenly from no discernible cause possibly a virus.
Anyway, all my horrible experiences with pet birds has made me want one of my own more than anything. After all the practice with goldfish and hamsters, birds are the endgame of pets as far as I'm concerned. Especially parrots, which are intelligent and inquisitive enough to be inconvenient and can outlive their owners if nothing goes wrong.
