PRO: Parrots make great topics of conversation. In fact, they can make their own conversation!

CON: Birdie heard some bad words and practices them on the Pastor, who has joined you for dinner.

 

PRO: Parrots can actually be affectionate; it’s recommended that you pet them for ½ hour each day.

CON: The bird didn’t get his quality time yet and repeatedly shrieks, “Help!” The neighbors dial 911.

 

PRO: As a parrot owner, you have a beautiful exotic pet to show off to your competitive neighbor.

CON: The bird has chosen this point in time to begin molting and looks like he got stuck in a blender.

 

PRO: You can control the cleanliness of your parrot. In fact, frequent bathing is recommended.

CON: You stick the bird in the shower and he screams death threats at you. The neighbors dial 911.

 

PRO: Most parrots won’t bite hard unless you ignore their “leave me alone” signals.

CON: You haven’t heeded the parrot’s signals. He finally nails your finger and yells, “Get it NOW?!”

 

PRO: A parrot will usually quiet down fairly quickly after the cover has been placed on his cage.

CON: You cover the cage against his wishes. He shrieks, “Help! Murder!” The neighbors dial 911.

 

PRO: Your parrot can develop very convincing responses to certain triggers.

CON: You fall and call for help. The neighbors dial 911. Police refuse to humor that parrot again.

 

PRO: Parrots like bright, shiny toys and can spend hours entertaining themselves without a sound.

CON: You’ve begged and BEGGED that parrot to tell you where he put your keys. He’s not talking.

 

PRO: A parrot has the ability to mimic any sound with great clarity.

CON: You hear loud machine gun fire. You and your dinner guests hit the floor. The parrot giggles.

 

PRO: Parrots, unlike humans, don’t forget anything. They can replay dialogues verbatim.

CON: The new neighbor drops by. Birdie replays your “I don’t like the new neighbor” conversation.

 

PRO: Parrots have a much longer life expectancy than dogs or cats – sometime up to 80 years.

CON: The 12-year-old cat’s just keeled over. The bird begins singing, “Another One Bites the Dust”.

 

PRO: Parrots’ antics are often a form of great family entertainment.

CON: Every time you sit down, the parrot pretends to be a whoopie cushion. You’re NOT amused.
