We are pretty.\u00a0 We are intelligent.
\nWe are born to be free.\u00a0 For the wild we are meant.
\nYou think we are entertaining. You like when we “talk”
\nWe are parrots. Our language is “squawk”.<\/p>\n

You think we are accessories to be caged.
\nWe are as smart as humans and need to feel engaged.
\nWhen we hit puberty, as with human teens,
\nWe sometimes get feisty and bite.
\nWe are not being mean.<\/p>\n

By humans we are so often misused, disregarded and neglected.
\nTerribly abused.
\nWe are voiceless to you and we need to be heard.
\nWe are sentient beings…not “just birds”<\/p>\n

We need a lot of attention, specific foods.
\nWe are not here to cater to your moods.
\nSo please humans out there here our cries,
\nIf you need an avian companion, ADOPT do not buy.<\/p>\n
