Just to give a bit more detail, in the bird picture I am about 15 years older that I am in my avatar picture, and I am now another 20 or so years older.
The conure liked to sit on my shoulder in the evenings when I was watching the TV.
There were two problems with that, a Patagonian Conure has a very loud shrieking call, and it was quite painful if it shrieked in my ear.
The second problem was that it seem to take great delight in evacuating its cloaca on me!
