I have a friend whose parrot died after he got divorced and had to work 2 jobs. The parrot got lonely. Sounds corny, but that’s what the guy said, and, well, he’s Navy and not the type to whine. It never occurred to me that a parrot could be lonely, so I suppose this could be true in some instances.
I was watching the show Dead Men Talking a few months ago. They had a case where this guy had some kind of white bird—Cockatoo maybe and they were really close. Well the guy got brutally murdered. The bird actually attacked the attacker. The bird was killed too, but he had enough of the murderer’s DNA on him that they were able to get the guy.
I’ve read that female ferrets deteriorate if they don’t breed.
When did the parrot find the time to be lonely while working two jobs?
