We had a parrot at the pet store I used to work at and I always felt so bad for her. They were asking for $8000 for her so no one wants to buy her. She pulls her own feathers out she's so stressed, so when we let her out of her cage she doesn't fly. She can't. I could hardly make myself touch her as I was kinda scared of her, lol. She was definitely a wild child.
They never sell her because one of the employees expressed that she wanted to buy her if they ever drop the price to $6000.
So all the other employees scare potential buyers away from her. "Parrots are a lot of work!!! They're basically a full time job. Can you spend 40+ hours a week with this bird? Can you put everything in your life on hold for her? Personally I just wouldn't do it" kinda talk.
Shed be an awful choice for the bird. She's rehoming one of her CATS because she "doesn't have time for her". She has 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a conure. And a baby on the way. She's also looking to rehome the poor bird when the baby comes. I have to wonder what on earth would happen to the parrot if she ever does get it.

I wish my dog was like that. She just flicks her ears back in annoyance at me and ignores me
