@evelynefoerster@swiss.social Brother-in-law had a large parrot for years. It had the "run" of their large house. Its cage was always open so that it could go in to feed. If he was sitting in an armchair reading the paper it would sit on the back of the chair and pull out his hairs one by one. It was constantly feuding with the dog, plucking at it when it was snoozing and cackling with obvious enjoyment when it growled in protest.

@pacman@swiss.social I really wanted a two parrots for a long time, then decided against it, because I couldn't give them the freedom they really needed. There was also a time in my life when I was a foster home for small mammals, rodents, and reptiles, but I had to pull the emergency stop, to many and not enough space. My dream would be a hedgehog nursing ward, and then, once they've regained their strength, to discharge them.
