FIREWORKS - a problem for our parrots?

[Michael]

Parrots and fireworks have a lot in common... they're both LOUD, COLORFUL, and a PORTABLE PARTY!

And they can both make a bloody mess of your hands if you handle them wrong!

Lol thats true though it hasn't happened to me just other people if they handle Rocko wrongly he will sometimes grip on to their finger and normally he is the most handle able of my flock.

And not only hands. There is 15 year old boy in Texas that had his left leg amputated and has 85% chance of losing his vision because of fireworks over the 4th of July.

My GAWWWWD!
I wonder if he was secretly playing around or if he was being "supervised" with family.
If the latter... how do people not LEARN!!!!!
How tragic.

Well, good for that guy for taking a tragedy and making it into a tutorial.
I hope a lot of people listen.
Thanks, Michael.

The family KNEW!!! He, apparently, put together some 'home-made' something by combining small fireworks and sparklers every 4th for the last few years - stupid, stupid people!
