Parrot BOOMBOX

Advantages: Special friend for a life-time
Disadvantages: They need time and commitment and don't always get it

... AFRICAN GREY PARROTS... I for a time had a Yellow-Crowned Amazon and a Grey which my mum inherited when grandma died. I knew those birds virtually all my life and loved them to bits. I was gutted when my mum re-homed them after I moved out, but I was expecting little boy, no way could I have coped with a newborn and 2 parrots in the small place we had. Anyway this is mostly why I ended up taking on an African Grey about this time last year, and wouldn't be without him. When I got him the poor guy had plucked himself bald and was not a happy birdie. Woman who had him couldn't cope with him and wanted to find him a new home. She didn't like to let him out and he didn't have much of a life sitting in his cage 24-7 bored out of his mind. She had got him from a pub somewhere and that's all I know of his life before he came... Read review

Advantages: NO MORE plugging the Mobile into the handsfree!
Disadvantages: Mounting is not trivial at all

Then I found this system offered by an auctionator residing near to our home. As I anyway had to drive that way the next days, I decided to buy it and collect it directly. So no delivery fees came supplementary. ♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪... Read review

Advantages: Can be great fun.
Disadvantages: Expensive, noisy and need lots of attention. Can bite really hard.

...I didn't mean to get a parrot. I never longed for a parrot, never imagined sharing my home with a parrot, never read books or watched programmes about parrots. I certainly never said "I'd like a parrot for Christmas, please." No. I clearly remember that what I actually said was that I'd really like a heated propagator for Christmas. You know what I mean. A plastic thing, to grow plants in. My dream almost came true. My husband, a kind and caring man, had succeeded in finding a garden centre and was diligently searching for a heated propagator when he was set upon, and seduced, by a shameless tart of a bird with flamboyant dress sense and a loud voice. "Hello" she rasped, in her most alluring manner. That happened eight years ago. To this day he can't work out how he ended up in the pet department, spending our life savings. To... Read review
