I like birds a lot but a cockatoo seems like some kind of house demon to me and if they could reproduce in the wild here we'd surely be paying someone to exterminate them in droves. They're never like sweet or chilling out, they're always on a meth fueled tearassin ramapage

theyre so like us which is why people like them

At one point between the bird threads and the Islam thread my recommendations were a combination of dudes reciting the Qur'an and cockatoos doing funny poo poo, it was sort of weird.

Their coloring makes it look like someone took some markers to them I guess they're tropical?

why's every tropic/jungle bird super bright? does it help that much with camo or do they have enough trees to hide in?

Out of the non-human animals in this house, the bird is definitely the smartest. The cat is a god-drat moron.

our cat varies between pretty smart for an animal and dumb as poo poo to the point that im pretty sure a lot of the dumb is an act so we give it attention and treats and poo poo

Smart enough to save an entire battalion of Allied soldiers called "The Lost Batallion" from friendly fire: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cher_Ami

"As Cher Ami tried to fly back home, the Germans saw her rising out of the brush and opened fire. For several moments, Cher Ami flew with bullets zipping through the air all around her. Cher Ami was eventually shot down but managed to take flight again. She arrived back at her loft at division headquarters 25 miles to the rear in just 25 minutes, helping to save the lives of the 194 survivors. In this last mission, Cher Ami delivered the message despite having been shot through the breast, blinded in one eye, covered in blood and with a leg hanging only by a tendon."

Also smart enough to send a last minute message back from the front lines that prevented Allied forces from commencing artillery bombardment of a recently captured friendly outpost: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G.I._Joe_%28pigeon%29

This is G.I. Joe, the bird who accomplished the second feat, receiving a medal:



And a random messenger pigeon being released from a tank in WWI:



This whole hatred of pigeons is a relatively recent thing, and is mostly based off of propaganda created by pest extermination companies that had gotten too good at killing roaches and rats, and needed something else to kill (hence the unfair "rats with wings" branding). Pigeons love to bathe, are generally clean and are only dirty when they're forced to live in filthy cities and forage in gutters by subway stations. Also, you're far more likely to catch a disease from a cat or dog than you are from a pigeon.

rats are legit super intelligent creatures and make awesome pets but that doesnt make them not a pest
