I had a parrot once. Its a sad tale of ignorance and betrayal. A friend had this parrot and they were giving it away lock, stock and barrel. Cage, toys, feeders, food, all free to a good home. So's I thought to myself, Gfted1, you'd be stupid to not take a free, expensive bird. It was beautiful, tiny and colorful with its spectrum covering green, red, yellow and blue. The thing is though that every single time I left the room it would make this tremendous squaking noise and wouldnt stop until I came back. Covering the cage didnt help, turning off the lights, fresh food, nothing. So, I had it for about a week before I found some other sucker to take him, free to a good home of course.
