They're very sadistic, if you ask me. I've seen these so-called "expensive & valuable" creatures flying in their natural habitat in South America such as flocks of parrots. Spotting a toucan as my first sighting there was an incredible and life changing experience as was watching swallows shoot in & out of the Iguazu Falls (they live in the rocks behind the water). Yes, bird people are sadistic. Always had bad, bad feelings about anybody who thought it cool to cage a wild/exotic bird. They’re very sadistic, if you ask me.

It's the herons you gotta watch with those eye-and-brain pokin' beaks.

I think I can trace this all back to a field trip to the zoo in junior high where I was attacked by a random bird and I thought it was part of some show so I let it go on for a good 30 seconds. True story. For dinner? ;)
