Bird nerds will try to tell you that they're cute, too.

I was all into aprakeets for a while, and for the first week, they're sonmethying outta hell. If they were slightly larger you'd instinctively stamp on them.

But I guarantee, check them out 2 weeks later and you will weep tears. That's the thing, mammals get cute faster than birds.

There's a lot of primitive emotion there.

Well where do you store your birds? In the pantry? Geez...

ASHTRAYS!

NOW FOR BIRDS!

I fell hook line and sinker for the title...and now I'm giggling in combined amusement and horror at that mental image.
