I'd take the parrots over kids any day though. Except for Cockatoos. I freakin' love Cockatoos but I don't think I could ever live with one.

I had an umbrella cockatoo and they are the neediest creatures that have ever graced this planet. Mine was pretty much Satan, but she adored me and hated everyone else, so I didn't mind as much. I also had the neediest cat ever, but I don't blame him because he was half-blind. Now I look after the two dogs I live with (I change home settings a lot). 

I'm totally a bird person, I want a parrotlet. They're one of my dream pets.
