I stopped by my favorite local pet store today. I love going in there. They specialize in birds and fish. Their birds are all happy, healthy, tame, and clean. They have all sorts of fun toys to play with and great things to eat (rice, veggies, fruits, seeds, etc). I am just so impressed with the place. Their fish are all healthy too and in very clean, large tanks.
Anyway, they have an African Grey there who belongs to the owner of the store. There are signs on his cage that says he BITES HARD! There's also a sign that explains that he was rescued in Argentina as a baby and was never tamed. It said that he is happy and to please not suggest to the owner to try to tame him because the owner believes it will ruin his spirit.
Hmmm, I found this pretty odd. I don't understand why they don't try to tame him. If it doesn't work, at least they would have tried. I don't get the part of ruining his spirit. Wouldn't he be happier if he could be handled and have human company and get out of his cage??
