sometimes i just wish they would have "parrot po-po" which go around inspecting poeples homes for unfairly treated parrots.

Nope!! Couldn't even begin to go there, I live here and not in Nazi Germany or some other place like that, thank you very much.

[GMV]

you're right.
but part of me thinks it might help a bit. the other part says WAY too invasive.
i said "sometimes" ( so that was not in all seriousness )

Actually, there is an easier solution: regulate parrot ownership exactly the same as birds of prey.

im sorry, but i don't understand. You mean let less people own them?

[GMV]

and tell me no one really thinks i would actually WANT the "parrot po-po"!
I'm not a registered Nazi.
well... i'm not old enough to register anything but if i could i would NOT register Nazi.

Well you brought it up! But then no one is thinking that you do, or is even going in the direction that you think they are. So relax everything is ok.

[GMV]

ok, sorry.

Well, there would less parrot owners for the simple reason that you couldn't just walk into a petstore or a breeder's and buy one. You would need to take a course, pass an exam and an inspection, apprentice and then and only then you would get your license and be allowed to keep them. And breeders would have to be licensed, too, and they would have to adhere to quotas.

ok, a course is reasonable, but don't you think a liscence is a little bit overkill? i mean, there are some birds that are just perfect for almost anyone. some of the same species might be impossible for almost everyone.
