Amen!! I too am proud to be "that bird crazy woman"! If they don't like how I feel about my parrot ( and various other pets :0 ) , that's too damn bad. I maintain my home & property for their comfort & security, & if some people don't like that they can just Go Away!! I figure in 30 yrs or so I'll be referred to as that crazy old woman with the grey parrot! ( I think that is better than a crazy old cat lady, ha ha - no offense to cat people I also love cats! )
Yes, we are special !
