@@bunninsula5849 *" flesh and secretions are not necessary"* Eating things like liver, eggs and beef are not harmful nor is there evidence to indicate so. It isn't necessary to only eat plant either especially when we are omnivores and derive a variety of nutrients including DHA and EPA as well as Vitamin A better from animal sources rather than plant. *" people can live healthier eating plant-based"* I find that I live healthier living keto and carnivore. Also those miss you are referencing in regards to saturated fat and cholesterol have been debunked. Check out dave Feldmens and Dr Rob cywes videos on the topic. *"and no fiber"* Fiber is not required for human health. Fiber actually causes gastrointestinal problems for a lot of people including myself. I tend to do better with no fiber than with it, interesting isn't it? *" meaning clogged arteries and constipation"* There isn't any evidence for that deduction from your premise. Would you mind presenting evidence of that claim? If not I will refer to Hitchens razor and say that what is presented with evidence may be dismissed without evidence

Well she also has dogs living with the bird and they all walk around on the floor together, so I don’t agree with that statement… No truly responsible owner would let their parrot be in that kind of danger.

[@ibrokemyfuckingniconicokne4468]

@@xyz7572 What danger? Lmao. She knows her dogs, she knows her birds. She more than likely spent plenty of time getting them used to each other and making extra sure it was safe. Obviously she has clearly determined that the dogs aren’t a danger to her birds. It isn’t the same with every bird and dog situation. Not every dog wants to attack birds. Hell, some dogs are even scared of small parrots. Some parrots and dogs are the best of friends. My dog is my bird’s best friend and my dog loves my bird so much, he acts like he’s my bird’s guard dog. Chill out, lil snowflake. She knows what she’s doing, she’s been working with them for years, you don’t even know what you’re talking about for a second.

MY 1st THOUGHT WAS, IF YOU FELT HE WAS LOVED, THINGS WERE GOOD AT ONE TIME, THEN💥💨SOMETHING CHANGED.. IT HIT ME LIKE A BULLET! PERHAPS PAPA WAS ELDERLY & DIED & MUNCHKIN WAS LEFT IN THE CARE OF A PERSON THAT WASNT AS CARING *OR*, TO ME, THIS MAKES MORE SENSE, HE HAD A STROKE. IF DIED, HE WLDV DISAPPEARED- UPSETTING BUT NOT AS SCARY-WELL NOT AS SCARY IN SAME WAY. THEY ARE STILL HERE..BUT ...ARENT. PAPA?WHO IS THIS? WHAT HAPPENED TO PAPA!? SOUND OF VOICE NOT THE SAME; HE SEEMS SO DIFFERENT. CAN A SWEET LIL BIRD FULLY UNDERSTAND ALL THAT HAPPENED? SOME REAL MENTAL ANGUISH, CONFUSION , VERY FRIGHTENING. MY GRANDMA HAD A FEW RUN-INS WITH THOSE THINGS ,& FOR A YOUNG ONE, OR A BIRD, IT CAN BE VERY SCARY...SAD, & UPSETTING OR DEPRESSING. THE WORST ONE CAUSE.MY VERY LOVING & SWEET GRANDMA TO LOOK SO VERY DIFFERENT, ALL THE TIME, WITH A DRAWN , MEAN, OR ANGRY LOOK ON HER ALWAYS B4 SWEET & LOVING EXPRESSION I WAS OLD ENOUGH... & KNEW HER WELL ENOUGH- IT MADE ME TERRIBLY SAD BUT I KNEW SHE WAS STILL GRANDMA, BUT SHE ALSO COULD NO LONGER TALK, SHE MADE SOUND, BUT IT WAS NOT WORDS.😔🥺 A LITTLE BIRD IS VERY INTELLIGENT, BUT STILL VERY UNDERSTANDABLY, CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY PAPA CHANGED SO MUCH. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THE WORST ONE? IN SOME TIME, SHE FULLY RECOVERED.🙂💛💫 I THINK ITS WONDERFUL, THE R'SHIP YOU2 HAVE & I AM SO HAPPY HE. FOUND YOU, LITERALLY!❤ ✌🥰🙀⚘❤⚘🌱

Being an experienced parrot owner of many years, I recognize that this young lady definitely knows birds! What a wonderful relationship! Munchkin is very fortunate to be in such a loving home, with a well educated owner. My macaws, Zeke, a 28 yrs old B&G, and BeBe in her mid 20s and a Harlequin macaw, both enjoyed watching this video with me! They even called back to Munchkin! I remember seeing him a while ago, and I hoped that he would find the right forever person. It was all up to him, and he made the right choice, when he chose his new owner!

I rescued him from an abusive neighbor who went to prison. I am honored to have had the opportunity to care for him. Parrots can live a long life too. They are a lifetime companion. Parrots need a lot of attention and intelligent play. They are very sensitive creatures too. ❤️👍
