There are are so many reasons we love our kids.

I love my daughter more than anything but my Blue and Gold Macaw runs a close second.

I sometimes wonder knowing what I know now. Would I do things the same way? If I had a do over.

So one day shortly after sending my daughter off to Florida State University to finish her last two years. I sat down and thought about things from a different perspective and listed the below.

Here are 50 reasons why I believe owning a Blue and Gold Macaw may be a better choice than having a child.

1. Color coordination, they have it down pat. No one does it better than a Blue and Gold Macaw.

2. There is no P.T.A.

3. A Macaw doesn't want to go to the movies. My Blue and Gold Macaw goes where and when I want.

I have had my Blue and Gold Macaw (Shadow) 12 years longer than the 19 year old daughter. Over those years I have never had heartbreak nor frustration from Shadow.

He is just a Blue and Gold Macaw and I know this. It is all I ever expect from him. I wish the daughter had been so easy.
