I'm a bird person too Scott. One African Grey, One Greater Sulphur`Crested Cockatoo, and one Orange Wing Amazon. All great birds with unique personalities. The "grey" is definitely the friendliest of the three.. maybe a little atypical since greys can often be standoffish.

I also have a chow chow. Considered by some to be among the fiercest and maybe even dangerous dogs. The reason I have her? Also very atypical... she might hurt a burglar.. only if the intruder tripped over her while she's sleeping. She's almost 10 yrs old now, and I still have no idea if she even has a clue about how to growl at someone or scare them, let alone bite... instead she has a personality typically seen in a lab or golden retriever..

Cats are cool too. Just don't need more pets right about now.
