It's admirable that you run a rescue for these birds - it truly is, but your attitude here is only alienating people and not helping to break the stereotype you are accusing people of having towards the birds you love.

The bottom line here is that everyone is entitled to their opinion and reasons for them on whether or not these animals should be kept as pets. Same is true of any subject. But you do need to express those opinions respectfully.

But it does mean I can tell someone they are tremendously misinformed.

Its not alienating anyone that would have listened anyway. I own parrots Im the devil. I dont follow around the *in* crowd here and kiss hiney. I have the wrong name title for anyone here to think of me as someone with a brain. It seems if you dont *own* this board, or suck up and be friends with the ones who do...then you are crud under others toes.

I enjoy my pets, I have breeding rabbits, (not to mention they live in hutches) own parrots. I have 2 pregnant guinea pigs, and I love reptiles, and have owned my fair share. This is why I dont say much on this board. Im here for cage ideas, and new food thoughts...and I love to look at pig pictures. Other then that...the cultness here hurts my head. But to see people talk so *off* on parrots, makes me want to stand up for them.

So burn me at the stake...
