I now pronounce this the "well genius comedy" thread. Go forth and be fucking funny. Or, more effectively, start clicking things at random, or click something that raises half a smirk rather than a fully-fledged LOL.
Alt: 24 hours to live, access to an inexhaustible supply of funds and a teleporter. What would you do? Please note - teleporter, not time machine, so using the funds to cure whatever's killing you then going forward in time to obtain said cure is not on the cards. I'd go on a killing spree, wiping out everyone who's ever offended me in some way in alphabetical order, capturing each murder on camera and posting it on Twitter, thereby making myself the greatest avant-garde artist of the digital media age, or something, look I'm not sure where I'm going with this. I had a pretty good idea when I got started but it's got away from me somewhat. The question stands though. Also In the spirit of the main thread I think this is sufficient effort for a click. Factor in my compulsive neediness and you've got a compelling argument.

your brother has been told dreadful lies
sun conures and blue crowns can both be very noisy indeed, I'm lucky that Momo isn't given to shrieking unless he sees a cat in the garden
if you want a quiet bird then get a green cheeked conure, those are lovely birds
also blue crowns are shit at talking, Momo hasn't said a word but he does sometimes try to say "who's a pretty bird" and fails miserably

i was thinking a cockatiel as they are much quieter and slightly more manageable
but then he selfishly went and got his wife up the duff and she said no bird until the baby stops crying as she doesn't want the parrot making that noise.

totally. we've always had budgies before, and even they need a couple of hours a day minimum
conure/cockatiel would live with my dad, who's retired/works from home. anything bigger than a conure - i don't know, i'm never sure they should be pets really. but i do love african greys.

I always try to talk people out of getting a parrot, I inherited Momo because his owner realised she didn't have enough time to spend with him
also: conures MUST spend most of the day out of their cages, they go INSANE if they can't get out

Otherwise it's not fair. When we had people round who hated birds flapping, the poor budgie would hang upside down by the door squawking. He didn't understand why it was magically blocked. Although the little fucker did chew everything.

I guess they're nice and shiny for him. does he like lego? my friend's macaw used to love chewing that. the budgie just eloped with the little lego men
And buried them behind the fucking piano when he got bored.
Actually I'm amazed it didn't swallow the lego and die. Lucky the macaw had more brains than her parents.
