So I was thinking about how in the horse world, there's this unwritten set of trials I grew up with for becoming a "real horse person." To be, in my case, a real horse woman, you've been kicked, trampled/knocked over & stepped on, bitten, thrown, and pinned. Bonus points if you broke a bone. Now - this isn't to say that you go out and provoke a horse into doing these things; the theory, though, is that if you've dealt with horses long enough, more or less likely these things have happened. My friends and I used to call it the Gauntlet.
So, while I know that birds, just like horses, have their positives (or we wouldn't keep them), I was also wondering if there is a parrot equivalent of the Gauntlet. Mac gauntlet pieces would be especially appreciated.
I've never owned a parrot, but from the research I've gathered, I would guess that parts would be something like "listening to screaming all night," "being stalked in the bathroom," or "being bitten/bleeding."
Just wanting to learn both sides of the feather. Feel free to include things you wish you knew before getting a bird.
