And really anyone else who lives places with species that are native, but also in the pet trade.
I was just watching a video of wild cockatoos, and was trying to explain to my partner that my brain has some weird disconnect when it comes to the birds I know and love being a native wild species somewhere.
It’s hard to explain - I was telling him that with most animals, I don’t have the same problem. Like reptiles. Seeing a video of, for example, a scrub python in the wild is just sort of like “Oh, yeah. That’s a wild scrub.” But seeing videos of lorikeets, cockatiels, cockatoos, budgies… my brain is just like “????what????” I don’t know why it’s so hard to wrap my head around.
Anyway - Can y’all post photos of wild birds that people have as pets?
