Theres no need for the attitude...and if someone decided on getting a parrot solely because of THIS thread, well then, that person was going to be influenced somewhere else if a person is that
easily influenced. A petsmart commercial would have done it.

So, because this is guinea pig forum, that means all animals have to be excluded from discussion? And also because this is a guinea pig specific forum, are you assuming the only animals that the members of this forum have experience with are
only guinea pigs?
