My family has a bird. I have zero motivation to put any parrots in fiction, though, and I would never get a bird of my own in the future. They are so much work, and I don't think they're really happy unless they have pretty much full time care or a place to fly around in. Most caged parrots are pretty unhappy, frustrated creatures in my experience and what I've seen and read about them.

For such a long-living creature, they can be very miserable in human homes, and many of them seem to end up as rescue creatures. It takes the shine off birds in fiction for me. :/ Even just having one in the family seems like a huge responsibility. Stubborn, loud, angry, plucking feathers...and when you try to feed her healthy foods, half the time she won't cooperate. She can be very charming with the words she knows...she's fairly healthy and sort of socialized...but she's not a happy, docile pet by any stretch.

I think the ideal fictional bird might have a very happy life, with a great bond with someone, lots of socialization, great eating habits, etc. But real life is too close with the less than ideal for me to really believe or enjoy it.
