    Shame there is no contra argument in the script... he's very eloquent, but has gone unchallenged.

    James,

    Do a search for breeders of Harlequin or Catalina Macaws, there you'll find the flip side.

    Jeanette,

    Yes and no. He does state that their behavior is dissimilar, and that the mating can produce quirky birds. But in my experience, I've yet to meet a parrot that wasn't a bit quirky. I have a home full of quirky!

    They're so cute when they're angry.

    But I would like to add, that I've gotten so used to people talking about "throwing snakes in the fridge" and freezing them, that I've started using the term myself as a euphemism for killing them, even though I wouldn't actually recommend that method. Bad choice of words on my part.

    But the thought remains.
