Why Parrots are better than kids
(Author unknown)
1. Parrots hatch. This is a big plus!
2. As long as your parrot is alive, you will always have a kid in the house.
(For some this may be seen as a disadvantage!)
3. A parrot plays like a kid, talks like you, has temper tantrums like a kid,
gets over them unlike some kids.
4. A parrot will eat her veggies.
5. Parrots grow their own clothes which are usually attractive,
colorful & enhance their looks.
A parrot will never wear a Lycra see-through blouse or their jeans below their underwear.
If their underwear isn't clean, it means that they are sick.
They are good about their grooming.
6. Parrots are cheaper to educate & appreciate your efforts to educate them.
After classes are done, they do not move to the other side of the country &
stop calling you.
7. Your parrot talks to you. If she doesn't talk to you, she will sing or whistle to you.
8. Parrots are good listeners. They love to hear you talk about anything as long as
they are not tired. If you wonder if they are listening,
they will repeat back to you what you said.
9. A parrot is always happy to have dinner with you. Or lunch or breakfast.
If they would let parrots in the stores, your parrot would go shopping with you
and/or to the movies. When she is tired, she will yawn & go to sleep if you let her.
10. When a parrot is angry with you, she is direct about it. You will know!!!
There is no reading between the lines.
11. If you do not abuse your parrot, she will not stop talking to you for years.
Parrots make sense. They are logical creatures.
They know who feeds them & who is kind to them.
They reward love with love.
12. A parrot appreciates attempts to make her happy.
13. A parrot knows who is kind & who isn't. She does not reward those who are not kind.
Those who love her & show her they love her are the ones she trusts.
She will not run off with the ex-con drug addict who she met in a bar.
She might bite him!
14. Parrots do not go out & buy drugs or drink liquor.
15. Parrots are naturally smart!
16. At night parrots sleep quietly. They do not play drums or watch MTV at full volume
till 3 A.M. or hang out in bars or on street corners carrying boom boxes &
a bottle in a brown paper bag & funny hand rolled cigarettes in their pockets.
Parrots do not smoke.
17. Parrots have a sense of boundaries. If you let them know,
they will sometimes respect yours but they won't hold a grudge over boundaries.
They will let you know where their boundaries are. There is no guessing with a parrot.
18. Parrots are cheerful, affectionate & fun loving.
19. A parrot will never ask you for advice & then get mad at you for giving it.
20. A parrot is a very forgiving creature.
21. Parrots do not fart! If they do make the farting noise, it does not stink!!!!!
22. If a parrot throws up in front of you, it probably means she loves you!
23. Parrots never ask for money unless you teach them to ask for money.
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST!!!!!!!
24. If they are bad and you put them in their cage, no one will call
protective services on you
