[OKW8297]

Have never had one. We are cat and dog people. Well, now cat people.

We have 2 macaws. Sebastion is a Blue and Gold and Elmo is a Greenwing. We've had them for over 10 years and are a lot of work and expense! We have always been bird people and have had many different kinds over the years.

I do not have a pet bird.

I used to have a pair of budgies several years ago (briefly). I ended up giving them to one of my ex's friend's daughter because I got a kitten. The kitten was always trying to find new and creative ways to get the birds. I figured as she got older, she would figure out a way to succeed.

Does anyone really want a pet that will out live you?

This is exactly why I started to find birds for my house. After our last pug passed away, I wanted animals that would outlive me so that I wouldn't have to go through another pet's loss.

That lasted for a couple years, but birds don't keep your feet warm when you're watching TV, so we got another pug 9 years ago and just got another one 2 months ago.

As I said before, Chief was supposed to outlive me, but that didn't work as planned. Hopefully, Joey will fulfill that wish.

The birds are in our wills and my kids already have chosen which birds they want so there will be no arguing when the time comes.
