"I had to respond regarding parrots. I LOVE parrots, too. Maybe my username hints at that? I also just uploaded his picture as my avatar. Though my psychiatrist doesn't have a parrot, his sister has 12 large macaws in her house. Imagine? My psychiatrist said that some of his patients have brought their dogs to his office before, and that I could someday bring my parrot. My little bird boy is still young. I want to be sure he'd be very well behaved before I bring him. Do you currently have a parrot? If so, what kind? Mine is a Hahn's macaw."

12 macaws!? That's gotta be somewhere around rock-concert volume when they get going. I'd have to invest in a great pair of earplugs if I had that many macaws around.
