It seems that 2011 saw a notable uptick in people lugging around birds attached to their limbs. Maybe people are learning avian beasts easier to care for than dogs? Are we all students of 876 Valencia? Perhaps we need just someone marginally dumber than us to talk to?
No matter the reason, I think it's safe to say that holding a White Cockatoo in your hand has replaced a cup of Ritual Roasters as the defining accessory of The Official Mission Uniform.

I’d hate to think of birds becoming trendy, but just in case, wanted to remind everyone that large parrot-family birds like cockatoos and macaws live 80 years and are about as smart as a toddler (and this demand an equal amount of entertaining/attention). They are LOUD and do not have a mute button. They are amazing pets but a more serious commitment than getting married in a lot of ways, and should only be adopted after VERY serious consideration! (My mom’s little cockatiel, who is on my arm right now, wishes you a merry Christmas!).
^^^^^^^^^^^^ tl:dr.
Ima go get one of them big birds
I’m gonna get me a falcon…
