Amy will go to live with my 40-something daughter when my wife and I pass.

this is one reason why i would not want a parrot, they bond and they live a long time and get all emotionally effed up when their bondmate dies.

make sure birdy can see your body up close after you pass, they won’t understand why strangers come to take you away on a gurney and you never return home.

you know what, that’s Richard Stallman’s stacktrace

Sure, parrots grieve. All things do in their own way. I have a cat who lost her companion of 5 years, and I watched her process that. Amy gives no indication she’d resort to “feather plucking” but I’ll be dead so that’s for others to deal with.

She’s a Double Yellow-Headed Amazon parrot, one of the “Hot 3” and doesn’t surrender willingly. She’s not timid (to say the least). She was on the CITES (endangered species) List for some time, but has since been removed. She’s captive-bred.

Bad picture, 10 years ago when I still smoked.

sweet bird!
i’d honestly love to have one around, but i’m torn about how they’d handle my passing, i can’t afford to get one and i have 3 cats who would torment the living shit out of it lmao

[Bro]

I have 3 cats, 1 of them a semi-feral rescue. They do not mess with Amy. They’re afraid of Amy. Her beak can tear flesh (I’m missing chunks) and she has a temper. I was a little leery of the rescue, but we got him young enough so he’s been no problem. That said, Amy is out of her cage from morning 'til night, and we do keep a weather eye on them.

EDIT: Amy has outlived several cats. And I love cats–have rarely lived without them. But Amy has even consoled me, when one passed. Animals grieve, and some recognize when others do.

It got dark in the comedy section, death, feather plucking parrots …um, quick, time for a meme;

I am deleting the recent tangent of comments related to slavery and religion. The comments are certainly way off-topic for the “funny things” thread, and whether they are appropriate for the forum in general is highly questionable. This is a technical support forum for Linux, after all.

Please, let’s try to keep the conversation civilized and get back on topic.

Antidepressants or Tolkien character?

It’s harder than I expected! I only got 14 out of 24.

Fly, you fool

[Bro]

Ditto. I was near-certain on a few of Tolkien’s characters, but they sounded so much like pharmaceuticals, I’m surprised Big Pharma hasn’t grabbed them, legally or otherwise.
