    Say the bird does start talking shit about one of them: how do you prove it was the other person to teach the bird and not the person being insulted?

    This isn’t enforceable.

      Has to be a really dreadful divorce if you spend tens of hours teaching “Michael is a shitmuncher” to your parrot, just so your ex-partner loses visitation rights to it, and you get to listen to it repeating that phrase for the 30+ years of both your miserable lives.

        Broken hearts can be horribly spiteful; planning for the future isn’t often part of that equation.

    For the public, this probably sounds like a strange and non prestigious reason to pursue a career in law, but for lawyers, dealing with people’s idiosyncrasies is one of the juiciest and most interesting parts of the job and a big reason to be drawn to the profession to begin with.

    I hope the parrot is bonded to both of them, or has a second parrot friend. Parrots will legit get sick if they stay away from their partners too long/often

    Seems entirely reasonable. Honestly, more reasonable than visitation about dogs or cats which are much less long-lived animals.
