Dumbest questions people ask about your parrot?

[Kim S]

O my... that kinda makes it even more rude....
I could understand if you lived under the same roof, but this is just interfering in your business.

One I get often when outside is "Why is it on a leash?"

"

[Rue]

I had a whole long post typed out...and then it disappeared...

In short...I get irked when non-pet people feel it's okay to question your pet choices...but heaven forbid you question their purchase of the lastest incarnation of a big-screen TV...or 30' travel trailer (complete with huge truck to tow it and massive gasoline budget)...or the must-have trip to Hawaii or Europe every year...etc.

Someone on youtube asked me how come I didn't get the "tags" cut off at the store when buying my parrots.

hehe that is so funny

Are you sure he wasnt talking about your parrot toys in your aviary? I am sure I saw a tag here and ther as well

No no, he quite clearly specified tag on the leg in the message. I was just paraphrasing. There's no mistake. And it clearly was not meant as a joke.

I leave the tags on the toys cause it's more work for me to take them off than for the birds apparently!

"Does it fly?" Don't know if some one mentioned this already. Seriously though? They have wings, they will use them!!

Oh I forgot... My husband asked me if Galileo and Archimedes could mate and have babies!

...Could you imagine how weird those chicks would look?...

Arent you afraid they get their heads or paws stuck in one of thise plastic strings?

[Michael]

I'm more concerned if it's toxic to them or not. I kind of doubt it if it's just plastic and paper. There is an infinite list of things they could have gotten caught on but haven't so I don't think it's that big of an issue. The same thing could happen against many of the stringy toys and stuff just the same.

What if they accidentally swallow the plastic string? I hate playing devil's advocate but... That would make me nervous.
