Jenny explained that unlike cats and dogs, parrots are not domesticated animals, therefore they require lots of freedom and can be pretty loud and disruptive as that's the same way they act in the wild. Some inexperienced owners might find this behavior hard or even impossible to tolerate, leading to the pets being placed in closets, garages, or other environments where they wouldn't be heard. According to the artist, a majority of captive parrots eventually end up in at least five homes and often die prematurely. "Do your research before you decide to get an exotic pet!" concluded Jenny - and the same thing goes for any other pet you're planning to get.
