Birds are supposed to be descendents of dinosaurs. A friend of mine thinks of this everytime she meets someone who keeps a bird as a pet.
Personally, I would never tell anyone I had a pet bird; it sends a message about you - a very boring message - and I like to keep up a fascade of excitement for as long as I can when I first meet someone. Technically, you have a pet dinosaur if you own a bird, but people get their panties in a twist over semantics.
My ex boyfriend family's always had birds in their home. Whenever one died, they bought another one. Everyone in their home could be described as "slightly irritated". Nature is beautiful, but chirping is nature's noise pollution. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see where I'm going with this.
Isn't it amazing that birds just crap in the air? Can you imagine what that's like? I imagine you'd have to be naked, at least pantless. People often say they feel very liberated when they are naked and I imagine flying is probably liberating in its own rite. In summary, birds have really won the liberation lottery. Maybe that's why people love putting them in cages; jealousy makes you do weird things.
