Re: Parrot to Canada
No, the maple leaf is basically for threads that are not looking for answers or advice
They asked about parrots, and like it or not they got some decent answers. Sometimes in life you have to take the rough with the smooth, and sometimes you need to have a slightly thicker skin to do that. No rules were broken, I dont see any "personal abuse", just smart arse parrot related jokes and some well meaning advice to lighten up.
This thread is no different to half the threads in the Canada area, in fact in terms of useful information, it may even be better than average.

I think we have thread of the year candidate right here. I'd give karma to the whole lot of you.

Re: Parrot to Canada
What a brilliant thread, and all from an innocent, asking an innocent question. It's really developed into a thread that has everything, good advice, bad advice, jokes, flounces, a bit of everything including the inevitable grammar pick ups. Well worth a read by everyone.

Re: Parrot to Canada
I wonder if the OP has even asked the parrot if it wants to emigrate.

Re: Parrot to Canada
Since that's impossible, or improbable at least, might I suggest that dbd33's response to the metric parrot concept, I quote, "pieces of ten, pieces of ten" is the single most karma-worthy contribution?

I nominate 'fletcher m' to be given the honor on everyone else's behalf, for several karma worthy contributions. (I hope I actually gave him karma)

Re: Parrot to Canada
I was first going to put "pieces of 3.6288, pieces of 3.6288" but then I thought a joke about how nothing metric ever comes in exact units combined with one about the cliched mannerisms of exported parrots would be a bit complicated and play to a very small crowd.
