Years and years ago I ...What a beautiful creature! Years and years ago I did a lot of research about parrots because I had contemplated getting one. I realized, though that I am completely against taking animals out of the wild for our entertainment. I also realized that their life span is as long as mine and that the birds have to be written into your will so that they will have a home after we're gone. <br /><br />So I appreciate them from afar. She's absolutely gorgeous!BaldyLockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17503554487494032312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498764508182405166.post-34787279895715478752010-01-25T19:35:24.856-08:002010-01-25T19:35:24.856-08:00I met one at Best Friends and he is a sweetheart! ...I met one at Best Friends and he is a sweetheart!

Rumer has it that someone was interested in buying her. The next thing the price was $20,0000 I guess he really didn't want to sell her.That was around 1982. Every time we took a trip back to NY, we would stop in the pet store and Grapejuice was still there, but sadely a few years ago we learned that she had died. It was said that one of the large snakes excaped and got her. I think that maybe the shop owner just took her home. I guess we'll never know for sure.Debs Crochethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16752473686612306814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498764508182405166.post-69885126737892477892010-01-25T11:25:29.507-08:002010-01-25T11:25:29.507-08:00Very interesting article.

You make some great points about the pet side of keeping these animals, people definitely need to have better information before having one as a pet. :0)Kathryn Dychehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17175563748388497142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498764508182405166.post-20377250242191103922010-01-25T06:54:18.327-08:002010-01-25T06:54:18.327-08:00I once house sat for my parents friends who had 2 ...I once house sat for my parents friends who had 2 parrots. I think one was a white one with a grey plum and the other was a giant red one with splashes of other color. (sorry, I don't know the breeds). Anyhoo, everyday I had to take them from the cage in the laundry room to the outdoor aviary on the back porch. One night I didn't padlock the laundry cage shut and the little white one got out and ATE the banister on the stairs as well as the antique dining table. And he pooped all over... but what do you expect from a tiny bird that ate 10 pounds of wood? His giant friend just tried to bite me when I would transport him on his perch. I think they are pretty but I'll stick to my dog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498764508182405166.post-16041695323656138292010-01-25T00:01:42.371-08:002010-01-25T00:01:42.371-08:00You are so right, tatty!

So many parrots end up in shelters or just set free as a result. It's really sad when you learn how many parrots die for each that ends up a captive.TheFrogBaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06829641134331952750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6498764508182405166.post-64135179214371301682010-01-24T23:48:08.949-08:002010-01-24T23:48:08.949-08:00That's a really cute photo of you!

So many people just do not appreciate just how much dedication it takes to care for them. It's a very large scale, ongoing tragedy.tattytiarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18408220720084181008noreply@blogger.com
