I agree with You totally
I just wish it was just the corporations
don t forget the individuals that think is such a pretty thing to have and not think that by buying them they are part of the problem
50% of the birds dye before reaching pet stores,they trow nets on to them,on trees and many of them perish under the first trauma and others during the trip
so...please as Darkforrest sees live them alone

It is a proven, scientific fact, that birds have very small brains. It has also been proven that some bird species have the ability to mimic, be it other birds, humans, or everyday sounds. It has also been proven through scientific process that some birds are able to learn numbers, colors, textures, & shapes.
If a bird is able to break a move should we not examine the process a little more to see if we have more in common than we thought possible. Of course this precludes any undue influence on the bird.

If we have a household that is extremely musically inclined & tended to play music & dance a great deal of the time may not this bird of adopted this type of behavior?

It has been shown scientifically that some birds do respond to certain behaviors so do we damn the scientists, or applaud them for their insights.

I would much rather see species in their own environments & forgo some of the so called "Modern Conveniences"

My heart & mind are made up, the multinational corporations that rape the Earth should be deplored & prosecuted as they are destroying everything that we hold dear.

"I got rhythm.I got music."
I got my bird,who could ask for anything more!
