What birds make good pets?

Very few of them, actually. I’ll admit this is largely a personal prejudice, but their beady eyes, sharp beaks and clawing feet freak me out a bit.
With that in mind, you want to try and get the least birdlike bird to be your pet. You want something with big cow eyes, a rounded beak and actually you probably can’t do anything about the feet. They don’t come with wheels. Some birds that love water have flipper feet. They’re better than talons.
You know what? Thinking about it, I’m not even sure birds should be pets at all. Birds need room. Pets have to stay indoors. It’s not fair to keep an animal that can fly in a cage. It can’t do the one thing it loves doing.
So, in conclusion, get a penguin.
