The only good reason I can think of is that they're dusty.

They never shut up once they start gabbing
They will outlive you and then you will have to leave it in your will to someone
They smell
They need space to fly
They will sh** on your furniture.
Is that enough ammo to shut your hubby up?
If he insists on getting one you go right out and buy a parrot eating snake. Then before you go to bed leave its cage or whatever they live in open and let nature take its course!

We had a parrot in our family before i was born. The bloody thing was 75 years old and was so bad tempered no one could even approach it.
Things came to a head when a postman called at the house to deliver a parcel and my Grandmother went to the kitchen to make him a cup of tea. The fool went to stroke the parrot and the parrot seized his thumb so vigorously that it was dislocated.
Uncle Tom arrived home from work to find a scene of mayhem and decided to resolve the matter for good.
He took the parrot on it's stand out into the garden and blew it's head off with a shotgun.
Get a puppy.

Dusty? Never heard that one. I've had birds, not a parrot. Parrot's are messy. They require much attention. They are not like a canary that sits in a cage or a parakeet that you let out to fly around for an hour.

Parrots live longer than most people think. Some have been know to exceed 80 years with good health. They also are very noisy and can get very exspensive. The cages that they need can run you several hundreds of dollars. I recommend you buy a book on them at the pet store and get educated first. It's going to shock you.

The only one that really matters is that you don't want one. If you were my wife, that would be good enough reason for me. As a husband, I've learned to pick and choose my battles. Parrot ownership wouldn't be one of them. Forget the vet bills, the noise, the odor, the pain to care for when on vacation, the poop.....

my brother had a parrot it was clingy it had to have attention all of the time it had separation anxiety it would screech and curse and fly across the room and land on my brothers shoulder and crap down his back. if I can think of any thing else I will update.oh ah my brother took the bird back to the pet shop where he bought it.he opened the door of the pet shop just far enough to fit the bird through the crack in door and let the bird go in the shop. then my brother ran to his pick-up and drove away.oh ah when bird would land on my brothers should the birds claws would pierce his skin and cause wounds.

Consider first the longevity of parrots...up to 70 years. Second they require attention...lots of it. Otherwise they can develop behavioral problems. Last, they are extremely expensive when you take them to the vet.
Mostly, you would be the proud owner of a two year old for the rest of your life.
Tell him you want children instead...they at least move away.

Bird flu? Tell him that if you get a parrot then the terrorists will win. Don't they live for like 20 years? Maybe tell him that if you can have a baby he can have a parrot.

Parrots can live for up to 100 years old, that is one commitment for a pet.
