What a hilarious find! That pianist must've really been in love with that parrot to let him make such a nuisance of himself. I'd get rid of the creature at first chance (better yet, never bought him to begin with :wink: ).

Oh, my... :lol: My (former) piano partner had four birds, one of which was some sort of large African parrot. I was at her house rehearsing one day when she had him out and let me hold him on my finger while she located some misplaced music. She came back to find a very pecked me flying through the house with the bird in pursuit! Since then I have staunchly refused to have anything to do with bird folk. :D

hahahaha sarah ... At least your trepidation has an explainable cause ... I'm just leary of birds in general.
