look, if a species of colourful bird suddenly materialized that was friendly like a dog, could be cared for easily, was domestic, lived for around 10 years, not endangered at all, and readily available you bet your ass i’d have one
oh wait
Don’t get an exotic bird when you can get a chicken
Chickens make just as fun and comforting companions as parrots, if not more - and I currently care for both <3
I’ve had companion parrots my whole life, and chickens HANDS DOWN make a better pet if you can accommodate their needs. If you don’t know chickens as pets, you might be amazed by how incredibly friendly, personable, silly, smart, and affectionate they can be.
chickens are the best
