@TheSanjaya1976 My bird was born in captivity and hand raised. Would it be admissible for you to steal him from captivity and rip everything he knows away from him to throw him outside to be eaten or starve to death? Just to be "free?" Also, if you want to make a good argument against something you believe in, it is generally more effective when you use proper grammar and spelling. Otherwise you simply look like a ranting idiot.

@TheSanjaya1976 I feel like you are using a very broad generalization on the subject. Some birds pluck their feathers in captivity OR while free. There are many reasons why a bird plucks their feathers. My grey bobs his head while he is dancing, because he is happy. Captive birds know nothing but living in a home, and would not survive if left in the wild. Please take your ill-informed opinions somewhere else.

By the way, you sound so much more intelligent when you use all caps.

@sarcasticandafraid Yes that is kind of true, but I own an African grey, and although we clip his wings,I really don't think he cares. He sill can forage on the ground like he does in the wild, and sometimes he just like to flutter about. I see nothing wrong in keeping birds as pets, as long as you love them, and treat them well.

I can't imagine what will happen to all your fingers, and possibly your limbs if you managed to piss all these birds off at the same time.

Food for thought.

As no URL can be posted, google and read what I wrote below in my Livejournal

"Bird born in captivity & 353 heads // Meet Jackie"

And would you have allowed that IRN to continue to eat the heads of the

sunflowers in the garden if you were in my shoes?
