What sort of parrot have you got? I was thinking about getting one but I'm a little worried about the noise they might make and also if they might take a dislike to someone. Some years ago, I went into a pet shop and there was this great white cockatoo sitting on a perch. What the perch was doing out of his fish tank, I know not

only joking, just had to get that one in. Anyway, back to the story. I had a pair of gloves on at the time I made the mistake of trying to touch it. This cockatoo grabbed hold of my thumb and bit right through my thumbnail. I've never been in so much pain in all my life, apart from my kidney stones.
