parrot-post:

Just don’t.

And even if you can be sure, don’t buy. Adopt.

Substitute the number of years for the actual lifespan of the parrot – 20 to 30 years is just for smaller parrots like cockatiels and lovebirds. Large parrots can live up to 80 years or more.

Child at the museum: I brought my stuffed eagle today!

Me, volunteer at the museum: Hey, that’s awesome! Did you know that birds like your eagle are actually dinosaurs, just like these guys?

Child: Really!?!?

Me: Yes, really!

Child: *gasps* I HAD NO IDEA THAT EAGLES WERE BIRDS!
