From what Sol has said, this bird would kill and eat a cat.
I picture a Parrot that eats human flesh......

About 1990, I looked out the back slider and noticed that the sunflowers were bobbing up and down. I took a second look and realized there was a parrot on one of the sunflowers trying to get at the seeds. One of the biggest mistakes of my life was grabbing a fishing net and catching the damn thing. Heck, I wanted to be a pirate as a kid and every good pirate has a parrot on his shoulder. It bonded with my wife and hates me - I mean HATES ME! The feeling is mutual. It chases me if it's out and I come in the room. A good example is that one time it launched at me from it's perch and managed to grab my upper lip, with his little feet frantically trying find a perch on my chin and his wings flapping. I grabbed him off and threw him across the room and he came back after me. I have a mustache so I don't know if there's a scar there or not but it bleed. I felt like I was in some grade 'b' drive-in movie kinda like "The Birds". Of course, during the whole thing my wife is in hysterics laughing. Big help she is and she said it was my own fault because I'd had a bit more rum than I should have and was teasing the spawn of satan. Another time, he waited for me to come back into the room. As I came in, he ran at me and ended up upside down with his feet grabbing each leg of my sweats about knee high and lunging at my crotch. Why is he still with us - because my wife loves him and after damn near 35 years of marriage, I just roll over like a cur dog when she scratches my belly.

One of these days when the feathers get long enough, they will launch it, and it'll be bye bye.
Maybe thats what you have in mind??

Guess what guys: Parrots and turtles live to be over 120 years old. Winston Churchill's is still alive. Have fun

You need to teach it to sit on your shoulder and have it talk like a pirate! That'd be cooooool. Or, teach it to swear like a sailor. Take it with you next time you fish with Uncle Joe.

Sol, So I get a call last night form my wife. Seems your wife comes by so the girls can play.The dam bird flys from you wife up into a cedar tree. This cedar tree is across the road from me. The bird is up about 20 feet.
At this point I am in Silverdale buying a new cell phone. My spouse broke mine in half about 3 weeks ago so I had been using hers.
Anyway I drive home and there is the white suburban parked in the weeds across the road. With a fricken step stool on top. Seems that someone had been standing on top of the step stool with a long handled net thingie trying to catch the bird.
Anyway we ended up getting the bird out of tree one, it flew over to tree two. Still about 20 feet up in the air. We tossed a basketball up at it. Now the bird flies down the road and straight into the window glass on the front of the house. Fell to the ground as if it was dead. But allas its still alive.
Now the whole ordeal kind of stressed me out. 4 little kids 2 moms one dam little bird.
I guess the bird is ok.
I gave your (ex) wife a bottle of wine as she was leaving she looked like she could use a glass of wine.
Later Dude
Just thought we all could relive the dam parrot.
