What's a mistake you made when you were an amateur bird owner?

Ohhhhhh, GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ, folks...
This thread NEVER gets old.
And it never fails to remind me of another bizarro thing I did wayyyy back whennnn...

There was that time that I took him to the famous annual Hatch (New Mexico) Chile Festival, on my shoulder. He was about 3-4 years old. He said "NO!" and "Come here!" and "QUIET!" to everybody. Yeah, he was 'clipped' but... PFT!

He was especially a big hit at the samples-booth. He loved getting little chile-chunks from strangers. He would accept the treat, sample it, then launch it!

I can't believe I did that. Harness? What?

*cringe*

Not get my Jenday conure George's wings clipped after he demonstrated his love for flying away...

Not putting a small amount of apple cider vinegar in his water or giving with baby food by syringe at least once a week.
