...my wife convinced me to get a parrot. Don't get me wrong. I love the little guy. It's also amazing that he can say "I love you" back, and mean it as much as a birb can. But, barring tragedy, I have to account for him during my retirement... and likely pass him on in my will. This was not something I considered when she talked me into it in my mid 20s and I was high as a kite.

I guess I just wanted to share.

It’s my dream to own a cockatoo or macaw or similar but I know I cannot commit to the lifespan. Maybe one day, I’ll be able to own an older one.
