I don't have a pet parrot. It's just not something that has been very appealing to me at all. When it comes right down to it, I guess i'm not really that into looking at a colorful bird in a wire cage all day, listening to it 'talk' about mostly stupid things. Or, for that matter, having to clean up it's poop on a daily basis.

There are certainly benefits to owning one, for sure. Once and a while Mrs. Hothotheat will be talking to me, and I really don't feel like listening. If I had a parrot caged up in the corner, the Mrs. could just talk to it about our nieces and nephews, and in this day and age I’m well aware that it is not acceptable to walk around in public with a parrot on my shoulder.

Given how popular they are and how many people are using them to show off to their friends, I was wondering how many other CP'ers have a parrot, and what your reasons are?
