Times have changed, apparently, but I thought her attitude and intended course of action was inappropriate.
I agree, birds aren't the sort of pet that are 'out-of-sight-out-of-mind.' I haven't had the pleasure of owning a parrot, but I've had many other (smaller) bird species, and even they could become very rowdy when they felt like it. Haha.

Yeah, sometimes people do things for all the wrong reasons just to prove a point. Which I think is a shame, especially when the life of an animal is involved. The fact that she was explicitly told not to and went ahead and bought the bird anyway is pretty disrespectful and irresponsible in my book.
