Myths that people seem to weirdly keep bringing up about companion/pet #birds and especially #parrots, because why not:

1) That birds are in any way interchangeable with each other.

There's this perception that you can just walk out and "adopt an animal!" People will attempt to use the same logic that they use on cats and dogs (where I may disagree with the argument but it at least applies) to birds.

But birds are not like that at _all_. It fails on just about every level with birds.
