re: #269 Walter L. Newton

The other day I saw a parrot at the humane society — it looked fairly young — but the poor thing — it was obviously disturbed…it would sit on its perch and begin rotating its head, circling its head around and around, eyes closed — looked really bizarre…it wasn’t up for adoption…(someone said that they were trying to “socialize” the bird, by allowing it to see other birds…I’m assuming that this parrot had been completely isolated or spent far too many hours alone in a cage…)
