>safely in our homes as pets

That's what I take issue with. It's not true. They're often not safe because people don't understand that smart birds make bad pets.

Nothing you said, referencing YOUR good experience with YOUR well adjusted parrot, makes my statements untrue. They're very difficult to care for. They need constant stimulation that most people can't provide. They need to be taught boundaries that most pets don't really require. They hold grudges against people and can attack them - attacks which can easily require a trip to the ER. Sometimes they become so possessive of a person that they attack anyone who comes near or visits. Children and pets can be included.

I also fail to see how people keeping them as pets helps their population in the wild in any way.

This comment really makes me think that you have no experience with birds like these. Most of them self harm when kept in captivity. They get bored and codependent and jealous.

It's not all bad. They cuddle. They sing with you. They're funny. They play. But they're very hard to keep happy. It's unethical to keep them as a pet unless you properly know what you're doing and have some serious time and space to provide everything they need.
