I went to one place . It had a Norwegian blue but I think it might have shuffled off its mortal coil and joined the choir invisible.0

I think the Parrot is a great bonus. People will remember the house as 'the one with the parrot'0

wouldnt bother me, its not as if i'd be moving in and the parrot still there (actually that wouldnt bother me either)0

OP, have you considered allergies? Some people are less afraid of birds, more allergic to their feathers. Feeling sick when viewing a room isn't likely to leave a prospective buyer with a great impression.
The problem with people regarding pets as their babies is that they often forget that people won't just like or dislike them - pets may make others feel physically unwell.
Just another angle to consider!0 -
Oh this has given me a laugh. About 7 years ago I went with my sis to view a house she wanted. The girl selling made us a coffee and we got on great. Then the phone rang and rang. We thought she was being polite by not answering. Told her to go ahead we dont mind. She said its not the phone. It was a massive parrot. She also had a GSD out in the garden who was whining to come in. The parrot was swearing like mad at the dog. Shut the eff up Shep! You noisy Bstd. We were crying laughing. It said a lot more than that but cant put it on here. We asked if it came with the house but no. My sis bought and the girl left us her aquarium instead. Dont move your baby out.0
