Re: CBS story on the unwanted parrot

Bonded pairs don't necessarily breed, even is they are opposite sex. They require environmental stimulus (that is, a breeding box). And even if they do breed, which is a natural behavior, you can pull the eggs and boil them the first day to sterilize before anything grows in them. I agree that parrots should be kept in same-species pairs or groups. It is simply impossible for a human to give a parrot the 24/7 attention that they want like another parrot can.
