<description><![CDATA[Most people consider turn signals primarily tools of convenience and courtesy, rather than serious safety devices.

<description><![CDATA[For millions of proud bird and parrot owners in the United States, the relationship that they have with their avian friends are just as fulfilling if not more fulfilling than that of the relationship between a dog and its owner. Parrots, for one thing, are highly intelligent and bond deeply with their owners. Parrots can even become possessive of their owners and attack family members or friends that are very close to the owner. Parrots lovers also point out that parrots have the ability to mimic speech and thus offer a level of personal connection that dogs or cats are not capable of giving. But for all the amazing things that can come out of having a bird as a pet, one of the major downsides is dealing with illness and disorders in these pets.]]></description>
