Especially the parrots
The store clerks are actually flocks of parrots in trenchcoats
lol and is your real name anythony but you go by Hony?
I think it's a spin on the name Tony Hawk, a famous skateboarder.
Of the Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 Fortune?
That's the guy.
And nofx's punk in drublic?
I actually knew someone who died of that parrot disease. Psittacosis? He caught it off a budgie.
Here it is: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psittacosis
Holy moly, and I was thinking about buying a parrot to my daughter ...
There's a better reason not to do that. They can live over 70 years.
Depends on the bird type. Budgies live for about 7-15 years, for example.
I thought people wanted their pets to live as long them?
Within reason. Long lived animals can get the same sort of neurological diseases that humans do, but without the advantage of language and healthcare.
It’s bad enough when Nana goes senile, but it’s even worse when all she can do is screech, claw, and bite at you, and there are no teams of professionals to help. That’s life with an elderly parrot.
Shit, my family won't able to tell the difference regarding my grandmother's old bird, fucker was born mean
You might be too if your wings were confined to a cage. It’s the ball and chain of the avian world.
That is a pet that has a good chance of outliving you. If you have to will your pet to someone else, you probably shouldn't get that pet. The same reason why I told my 80-year-old mother not to get a dog. She didn't listen to me. At least she didn't will the dog to me.
Honestly i always found it cruel to own a bird as a pet. Birds are meant to fly. All bird owners just either keep their birds in a cage or chained up all the time. They never get to fly their whole lives, or they'd fly away. Imagine being born with your upper limbs with the purpose of flying and never doing it because someone needs a pet bird.
Dont, they cling to one owner, they live a lot of time and they need a lot of socialization. Its not a humane pet to have.
Parrots were about 6 or 7X their current size back in those days, so it was irresponsible for this shop to have ever hosted them.
What?

Sorry, can't hear you.
Thanks. Was about to ask because I did not get it and thought it's an US thing.
I hope you’re joking but if you’re not, it’s not true.
Why should I be joking?

A palindrome of Bolton is Notlob, it don't work, mate.
That’s "emergency praise" in German.
What's a guy gotta do to get himself a Norwegian Blue?
'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This parrot is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-PARROT!!
Beautiful plumage!
Pets of almost all kinds.
I recently watched a documentary about the bird attack on Bodega Bay
