I miss that damn bird.

I have owned myself or worked with just about every animal commonly, and even uncommonly kept as a pet, and other than primates no animal is as capable of forming a deep, complex emotional bond with humans as parrots do. I've lost a couple birds over the years, and I miss every one of them dearly.
