Ray P Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) So you want a parrot and you go down to the local pet shop to see what they have. You see one that looks nice and you plonk down many $$$$`s . It`s your choice, Not theirs ! You look at cages and the big one cost a lot of money. So you buy a smaller one. It`s your choice, Not theirs ! You think to your self that you don`t want to chase this bird around the house so you have it`s wings clipped. It`s your choice, Not theirs ! You buy plain seed because pellets cost a lot of money. It`s your choice, Not theirs ! You take this parrot home and put it in that small cage put the cage in a corner and go watch TV. It`s your choice, Not theirs ! You did not take the time to build a relationship or to form a bond and your parrot is alone. It`s your choice, Not theirs ! You find smoething new and now you don`t have the time to spend with your bird. (what little time you gave) It`s your choice, Not theirs ! If my fids had a choice. I hope their choice would be. To spend their time with me ! Edited April 17, 2012 by Ray P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I think your fids show you every day what their choice is Ray. Maybe Penny will make this a sticky for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWIX Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I third the request, a lot of people buy parrots just because they see them interesting and they don't know it's responsibility + Commitment. The few lines you wrote are a must read by all those who want to get a parrot or a pet. Well said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greywings Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Would you change the line about pellets to add about fresh veggies & fruit & preparation time, not all of us respect the pellets but most of us feed some fresh items? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
