Seriously just kidding, if anything it's the owners of cranky, biting, screeching cherry heads named Pepper! LOL
well I got told because I have a sun conure I can't possibly have a smart bird all sun's do is scream said a chick I work with(just a receptionist she has nothing to do with the animals) and made the assumption arwen is less intelligent then any other parrot out there it really ticked me off and I objected of course suns are smart little birds and I think people underestimate them that's for sure!

Pedro is too smart for his own good sometimes. Just when you think you have stopped him from a naughty behavior (such as chewing on your cards when you are playing a game!) he will trick you and say..ohh go out of your site and slowly sneak up and crab a card and run!!!

People underestimate birds in general. I mean, look at the term "bird brain". More people just need to hang out with parrots to realize what unholy terrors they are. :D

I think it takes having a sweet non-screetchy-angry sun to appreciate how smart they are. After all, it's easy to underestimate the intelligence of a pretty b$tch.

I am offended by the assertion or implication that blondes are prettier than non-blondes.

I wish Abbey would learn how to eat over her bowls....

She did learn last night while playing with a Qtip on my juice cup. That if she dropped it in my juice the cotton would taste good...lol

Shadow, the only assertion I've made is that these stereotypes are inherently false and highly subjective. My gf, who just so happens to be a non-blonde, is afterall the prettiest girl in the world.

Xafsmom, why pack-pedal? There's always hair dye *grin*
