> making a mess every 30 minutes for 70 years

Oh that's adorable. I have a parrot and poops aren't even the biggest mess he makes.

They love to fling food. And shredding. And throwing everything you hold dear. And even a tiny 120g parrot like mine is strong enough to open cupboards and drawers.

What is the upside?

They’re pretty fun and super affectionate! It’s like having a little curious buddy who wants to do everything with you, learns your routine, communicates what’s on their mind, always warns you of scary things and sounds, viciously attacks anything or anyone they think might be a danger to you, and absolutely holds a grudge if you do something upsetting.

And they’re smart enough to remember people for many years and learn how to behave differently around different people based on past interactions.

Oh and you can throw them like a boomerang.

Sounds like you have a sun conure
