  • What worries me ...

    What worries me about these types of shows, is that people then say "Oh, I want one!" and go out and buy a parrot- not having a clue as to what that entails. And the fact that there is no guarantee the bird will talk or even like the person. Thanks for this though- I hadn't seen it.

    That was great! I've watched it five times to learn tricks for teaching my birds. I like the part about giving them a little competition.
