Those Myna birds are great sir Vincent. You should catch one and teach it to talk. Maybe you could finally have someone to have a conversation with. I like those herons too, we have a couple of those that hang out at our ponds. One of them is like 4ft tall and real geeky looking and walking.
Where is the kick in having a conservation with something you taught how to talk? lol
I don't know. I would use mine to entertain my friends but I don't have any. So you could use one for that being that you are Mr. Socialite. lol.
Just because a talking bird kept you entertained doesn't mean that everyone likes to be entertained by a bird. lol
I think if someone doesn't like being entertained by a bird they just need more beer!
