Donn the Beachcomber had a mynah bird that he would get loaded on pieces of rum-soaked apple.

It would meander around the bar until it blacked out.

As far as Parrots go, I'd love to have a few but they're truly - truly time intensive and ever will be once you have one.

A funny story to go along with the other hilarious ones here - there was a lady in Scio, Ohio (yes - it's true) they called the Bird Lady of Scio. The mother of a great friend and former roomie of mine.

She had many birds, but this one parrot would unceasingly mock her spoiled grandson. For years. Even into his teens it would remind him of his horrible bratty days of youth by shrieking "I WANT - I WANT - I WANT..." or "ANHHHH - NO NO NO." Then the parrot would giggle at him. He hated that bird and tried to hurt it but the bird would sqwak - his grandma would come to the bird's rescue - chastise the boy - and the parrot would giggle some more.

The kid actually turned out to be a very mellow and well-behaved young man.
Go figger.
