I'm curious, what did your friend consider "parrot" and what was considered "other birds"? :)

ive had arguments with so many people about the fact that parakeets and cockatoos/tiels are parrots

one of the worst reasons ive ever been given for believing they arent is because parrots are green...i was like wtf?

The BE2s and sun conure are just birds I suppose.

LMAO Too funny!

I bet these are the same people that think we are nuts for pampering our fids, taking them on outings, cooking for them, constantly cleaning up after them... and then they ask how we can consider them kids... LOL

Oh and Geek........ loooooooooooooove the new sig!! I've seen it change twice today though... waiting to see if there is another new one on the horizon LOL.

Geek, that reminds me...

How the heck do you get the size down enough to be able to fit under the size rules for sigs, or do you add it each post manually?
