Have you ever considered a parrot for a pet? Parrots are brightly colored, have large beaks, and are found in the jungles of South America. In the movies, you often see parrots sitting on the shoulders of pirates. A pirate named Cotton, in Pirates of the Caribbean, had a parrot as a pet. In my opinion, I feel parrots make the best pets since they are the only pets that can talk back to you, they can go places with you, and they come in many different colors.
