I were to release a tropical bird, he would freeze to death in winter, if he didn't starve to death or be pecked to death long before that.
Also not true on the other side of the argument. There are successful colonies of escaped pet parrots living all over NYC and other cold weather places. Parrots are very smart and can take care of themselves quite well
Well if parrots can live in NYC winter, I guess they're tough enough ;^) I just get peeved over people that complain I'm keeping a wild animal in a cage. I know he's happy, and I make sure he is. He's talking to me right now. They must not understand what is required to care for an animal.
That picture is such a bad photo shop! OMG!
