I hate my parrot.

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Why the heck does he insist on "becoming" the microwave every time I put DS to bed? ?At least he isn't screaming my name and literally demanding his dinner tonight, but he is still being quite loud. ?

Maybe I should give him some "outside play time" to see how he likes the snow. ?(kidding, of course)

    I thought I might like to get a parrot someday.  Thank you for disabusing me of the notion :)

    Don't let me discourage you from getting one. ?He is a pretty fascinating pet, actually. ?He speaks in my voice, and my husbands voice. ?He also is starting to speak?Portuguese?(our live out nanny is from Brazil). ?He calls the dogs, and yells at them when they are barking. He says "bless you" if someone in the house sneezes. ?He also cries like DS and imitates the baby monitor when the batteries are dying. ?

    If you are considering one, I would wait until your DC is older. ?I am learning that babies and parrots do not mix for a variety of reasons. ?The noise is the least concerning part. ?DS usually sleeps right through it.?

    We (DH) used to have a parrot. I hated that thing. It would scream at the top of it's lungs.  Anytime you walked by the cage it would snap at you.  He bit DH quite a few times.  DH's parent now have it and they keep threatening to bring it back to us.  No freaking way!!!!!

    you mentioned babies and parrots don't mix for a variety of reasons.  Can you elaborate?  I'm just curious!

    You ever get that forward about the guy who had a parrot driving him crazy, so he threw it in the freezer, and it shut up after a few minutes. When he opened the door the bird walked out, apologized and asked "Okay, so what did the chicken do?"

    And my mom's neighbors have parrots that bite at their kids (3y and 22m) all the time.

    MIL has one, and when they were gone on vacation I went to feed all the animals. I was going to give the parrot one of its treats, and it hissed at me and got in crazy attack mode. I hate that thing.
