A fucking parakeet. My mother-in-law got my two year old son a fucking parakeet. "Here have this loud smelly vermin. Add it to the dog, 2 cats and fish daddy already has to take care of." Who buys someone a shitty pet as a present?...

| Those things live for like 20 years don't they? I notice you said that you have 2 cats. I do believe that cats eat birds. You could set up an experiment to teach your kid about nature and survival of the fittest.  | ||||

| I personally think that it's cruel to keep a bird in a cage. I know people do it all the time but it bothers me. | ||||

| For the first week it's in the house, sneeze or sniff a lot when you walk past the cage. Clean the cage the first week and pretend to be allergic. Tell your wife and mother-in-law you're allergic to the bird poop and one of them will have to clean the cage each week. It'll be gone within the month and if it's not it won't be your problem anymore. | ||||

| Birds as pets?? Anyone who has a bird as a pet is loony to begin with. My in-laws have always had one as a pet and damn those things are obnoxious. I would not wish that on my worst enemy. | ||||
