Are Your Parrots Strictly Your Pets? Or More?

I'm just wondering... Are your birds strictly your pets? Or are they more than that?

I'd like to hear your thoughts on this, because my brother Dave and I were talking the other day and we realized that we've never asked you this question before.

So I was just curious to know...

1. Do you belong to or volunteer at any local bird rescue or rehabilitation facilities?
2. Do you belong to any local bird clubs? Are you interested in joining something?
3. Do you run any bird-related businesses? Are you interested in making your passion for birds into an income generating business, too?
4. Are your birds a casual "hobby" for you? Or are they more than that?
5. How did you acquire your first bird... and how many do you own today?
6. How have your birds impacted your life?

... These are all interesting questions, when you think about. Everyone has different motivation for getting involved with bird training and different dreams for where they'd like to go with it.

What's yours?

It should be an interesting conversation, I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
