I feel different than most here. As I agree it's not a good idea allowing parrots to mix with other pets, I do not agree with forbidding such photos and/or stories.
Every story and/or photo will be commented on, and the message will get through to the poster. But to disallow it, is IMO taking too much power, and having members keep hidden possibly a large part of their life.
So we forbid bird and pet photo, bird loose outside photo, birds in dangerous situations.
If these are a part of owning parrots (right or wrong) I don't believe we should hide them away. Allow apposing members to express their views, but also allow the owners to express theirs.
Years ago Bird Talk printed many stories that I found enthralling. One about a parrot that lived free on a boat. Years later the PC police decided to do away with all human interest stories that put parrots in any dangerous situation. It was a huge mistake in my opinion, and made the magazine dry and unappealing to me.
While I or others may not agree with what's happening, we should not be censored from seeing what others would like to share.
