Well, that's OK.<BR/><BR/>I'm a parrot sympathizer myself.<BR/><BR/>But for clarification purposes, these were the lines that sounded as if you thought she was justified:<BR/><BR/>"Sounds like she was planning to leave him anyway and devised an amusing plan to let him know -- and to take revenge on the bird he loved more than her. "<BR/><BR/>Note the words "amusing," "revenge," and "bird he loved more than her."<BR/><BR/>(Also, I'm not responsible for any posts I make after 11:00 P.M.

Actually, if that ever happened, I would get her because she likes me better than him. <BR/><BR/>Really.<BR/><BR/>Strong emotions make people do strange things. If your girl / boyfriend cheated on you with your best friend, would you not get rid of all those pictures you have with that friend (probably in some violent ritual)? <BR/><BR/>I know it can be very traumatic for the bird to change owners. They are very social birds and attach to their owners in unique ways. It is hard for them to adopt a new member of the flock. This is a big problem with Greys and Macaws, as they can life for 80 years, and often outlive their original owners.sonicfroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17243418673004541047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1137521038469556512006-01-17T12:03:00.000-06:002006-01-17T12:03:00.000-06:00I think it would also be accurate to say that she ...I think it would also be accurate to say that <I>she</I> has <I>her</I> name in the news as a warning to all future boyfriends : here's a woman who'll use an innocent bird in a passive-agressive attack.Der Hahnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05967487071137862252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-1137519775048802302006-01-17T11:42:00.000-06:002006-01-17T11:42:00.000-06:00Brokeback Parrot, based on the E.
