It's a shame but that's what can happen. I had a dog snap at me when I was about 4 and I'm still very careful around dogs.

@JudyEv As a kid I was very afraid of dogs till I met my uncles dog. He was a big dog but so sweet ! He broke me from being scared of dogs. I just don't like those little Chiuaua's (however you spell it!)

@dfollin I don't like yappy little dogs and especially the chihuahuas. I don't think I've met one yet that had a nice nature.

I like parrots but these days I dont see them much, maybe they are towards extinction. People keep them as a pet as they imitate us. I remember my neighbor had one which they used to keep in the cage all the time. I used to feel pity for that poor bird. Attaching the picture of a parrot which is usually found here

@sjvg1976 I never like the caged birds. How terrible and restricted they must be feeling!

@JudyEv yes they are a slave spending their whole life in a cage. I hate people who keep them in cages.

These are pretty too. It's a shame if birds are continually confined. They don't have a very good life if they spend all their time shut in a cage.

The 1-4 and 2-3 combination is quite interesting!! I was not aware that there are so many Parrot or similar species. But yes, I had an idea about their big presence in South America. Such days are a must for ecological awareness.

@JudyEv I feel that birds and amphibians seem to have more of special and unique features. Amazing how wonderful world the God has created !

I found the 1-4 and 2-3 combination interesting too. Other birds have other combinations according to their needs.

In our outback areas, budgerigars fly in flocks of hundreds. They are all the green-coloured ones. Budgies don't seem to mind being caged.

@changjiangzhibin89 In the outback and northern areas, they are very common but not in our area. I wrote about corellas once which is another type of parrot but you may not have seen it. They have slowly moved down south and are now a pest in the south.

I am sorry that so many animals species are threatened by extinction. We can only blame ourselves for destroying their habitat. This is a very good photo, even if a bit blurred.

Some of our parrots are very colourful although not as colourful as the macaws of South America.

That parrot is a beauty. Parrots intrigue me with their ability to talk. I remember hearing stories about my grandmother having a parrot named Nora.

@JudyEv the parrot my grandmother had was before I was born but I got the impression that my grandfather wasn't thrilled with the parrot.

I do know they can be very noisy

Many of the parrot species make good talkers but they can be noisy as pets.

Most of the parrot species make good talkers too. The African Greys are supposed to be the best of those that can learn to talk.

@JudyEv I believe the people that have them as pets it's because they can talk.

@JudyEv Unless there are some in California or Florida. We never saw any. There could be some invasive species.

Such wonderful colors on the Parrot. I do hope Parakeets are also included on this day. I remember our pet Parakeet Chippy who supplied us with entertainment when we let it out of the cage.
