I am right there with you, I do not want to experience that. The parrot that guy I know has got hold of some guys bottom lip a month or two ago and just split it right in two, I think he needed stitches
I did a search and just learned that a macaw is a parrot.
See? We're learning important things!
I thought it looked quite a bit like that guys parrot
It's a 'new world' (Americas, considered just one continent/entity in EU instruction) parrot, from what Google told me.
And, yeah...
AMAZINGLY HIGH ON MY LIST OF SHIT NOT TO HAVE HAPPEN, like AMAZINGLY HIGH, is 'being bitten by a parrot.
It could trivially take a finger off.
In my life I can recall at least a dozen times someone has asked me if I want to touch or hold their parrot. Some of those times have been while I was fucked up. So far, I have not touched one. So far, I haven't even let one on my finger.
Which is kinda odd as I've handled a few raptors - including an eagle. But, in those instances I had a thick leather glove that covered me up to my elbow. They don't use those when handling parrots!
I think I'd use tongs to handle a parrot, which is probably why I do not actually have one.
Yeah, that'll fuck you up.
Another one is a Macaw. Google 'Macaw beak' and look for a high resolution closeup. Positively fucking prehistoric.
Birds are descended from dinosaurs and a Macaw beak is positively fucking prehistoric.
That looks like the beak on that guys bird. I steer well clear
