They are some of the most interactive animals, IMO, especially since their level of intelligence is so high. Plus, I prefer birds in general over furs, even though I do have three cats and a dog too. I share my life with two small parrots and a canary (Green-cheek conure named Kayda and Lineoleated parakeet named Breeze). I had a wonderful African Grey for seven years who I treated like an actual human family member, but he passed away after a particular nasty illness earlier this year. I still feel the hole and miss having a larger parrot around. Does anyone else share their lives with a feathered minion? </p>
