Not at all. I had a rescue parrot and you are doing them no favors. My dude was too old to get rehabbed for release so we just made his life as best as possible till he passed at 68. Parrots need constant companionship and stimulation. They get depressed, angry, and even psychotic living in captivity. Their lungs don't even function at 100% without flying most of the day. The same muscles that help them fly help them breathe. If you really love parrots leave them in the wild.

Clearly this is a situation where a unicycle would be useful.

I don’t think you are my opponent or a hater.
It was just an observation.
I mean a lot of animals kill their own species and they kill other animals.. you arguments are kinda dumb and empty lol
Edit to say: dolphins rape each other, so that means it’s ok to rape? A lot of animals kill each other and younglings or abandon their offspring… so if they do it it’s ok for humans to do it?
I’m just trying to get you to understand that your analogies as you are presenting them, don’t work. And if a spix is still alive and we can someday release it back into the wild, that’s a win.

Really? Racism huh? So that’s how you silent your opponents. By implying they haters. That’s messed up fam. Also last I checked no one is killing off every human except the ones in jail… also in order for you to think that you have to think that there are different species of humans as well. Or did you not think about what you were saying? Just looking to bash on someone who has a different opinion than you do. Well fam no, no reasonable educated adult is going to read it and think that. Only some one immature and only looking to cause pain, because someone dared to question their subjective value on life.
Grow up fam. Love ya.

I've seen some pics of venus flytraps with small lizards trapped in them too. Not as noisy, but still more sentient than a bug.

They only are found naturally in the wild in about a 60 mile radius around Wilmington, NC.

You know, that same argument can somehow be used for racism. Some humans in x part of the world are less because their genes are not as original or pure because they are more mixed or whatever…
For me, if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck it’s a damn duck.

Nothing will ever slap like “Killtacular” though
EDIT: like if the copyright is expired on that, COD needs to incorporate. The phrase “killtacular” was a powerful and addictive drug.

Yes that is why buying one is against most international laws, and it is heavily restricted to research and conversation. But if ever able to be released it will never be the real Spix. It’s the same difference between a dog and a wolf. By breading them in captivity we fundamentally change them. Different genes are passed on when organisms are in different environments. So they will evolve to something else. The real Spix died off a few decades ago from poaching for pets, and habitat destruction. Now we keep a few alive to sate a guilty conscience. But screw it fam, y’all don’t want to hear it so I’m just going to bounce. Love ya fam.

These are macaws, just a friendly fyi. Good to learn a new thing everyday! Cockatoos and macaws both are mistaken as parrots all the time, like turtles and tortoises.
Edit: well fuck me sideways, it's my turn to learn something(s) new today, thanks!

Isn’t that kinda what it’s like when animals get stuck in tar pits and things like that, except it takes longer?

without captive breeding, the Spix's Macaw (just as one example) would be extinct.

Ya know, I had to go back and listen again. I had a good chuckle, I didn't remember it being that seductive. Also that holy shit at the end 😆

>Edit: I find it funny that people are downvoting. Is it because I'm stating the obvious or because you think this is real?!
They're downvoting you because you made this cockamamie argument about how it can't be real, when I fact it is real.

Yes, it'll close, but this is bad for the plant. It takes a lot of energy for them to do this, so if they catch nothing its a problem. Don't try and make them close for no reason.
