Thank you for clarifying and thank you for looking after the rescues!

I don't remember where I read it, but there was an interesting case for pairing abandoned parrots with veterans and people suffering from PTSD. Both suffer in similar ways, and were able to reduce their struggles together.

Could have been Bessel van der Kolk who mentioned it.

I have them to thank. On that same train of thought they saved me too :)

I believe it. In some parrots there is a look in their eye when they are scared of you. It's as though they're looking right past you, even though you're the fearful stimulus.
