Boozercruiser has a parrot. He mentioned it to me once. Never had any birds myself, except for a pair of zebra finches, which sound like squeak toys. Crows are not parrots, but crows can be taught to speak. They repeat words, but cannot make sense of them as parrots do. My grandma owned 2 parrots, Pete and Repete.
He probably will. I once asked him whether he had a cat or dog, and he said no, but that he had a parrot.
