Yahooka Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Well if it isn't against the law it should be but for the reason of taking such a beautiful animal from it's natural habitat to be paraded around Beach Road, bars and the like. Disgraceful. I am sickened by the the people that do this with snakes, cuddly marsupials and the like. Where's PETA when you need them? As one poster remarked, Who's he hurting? Well, he's hurting the wonderful bird that's who. That's my rant. Good-day! pretty sure the bird still has wings and isnt chained up, can fly back to its natural habitat when ever it wants Yeah, but I bet it won't make the journey all away to South America.

chicowoodduck Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Tell him to get back on the boat and do it in his own country.....<deleted> bird molester...:-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TobyOliver Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 In Thailand there very tolerant. If someone wants to have a big colourful bird (probably cared for well) and gets beer money for photos who cares. That's what makes it a fun place unlike our home countries where you would be arrested and fined. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harryfrompattaya Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 They do fine him, but he says he makes more money than he pays in fines, so he just keeps doing it. He is not one to follow laws. They need to make his fines larger. As far as the comments that he is not hurting anyone, that is not the point. It is illegal. Well if you are so pure turn him in. I do not complain about him so I would not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a beautiful loyal bird on his arm who is making him money ......................... a rarity in Thailand. As for him being fined quite astonishing!! .....................ok for the jet ski scam to thrive unabated for years and the whole town being built around the oldest profession technically illegal in Thailand, yet the BIB have the time or inclination to shake down a guy for Parrot Photo Pimping!

zierf1 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 He's a long time Pattaya expat. Leave him alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceMangosteen Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 He's a long time Pattaya expat. Leave him alone. He doesn't contribute to the local economy, he actually detracts from it. I repeat my prior inquiry...what happens if the tourists are confused and don't want to pay him? In a related incident...I was enjoying my dinner at an outdoor venue along 2nd road last night...up walks a Filipino with her "help the children" brochure and says "donation". I ignored her, my meal was in front of me and I don't need people approaching with or without birds and brochures. She just stood there and repeated "donation". I looked up, told her "you should go back to the Philippines, the Thai people don't like what you are doing here"...she looked at me and asked where I was from. I said "China". She said "you should go back to China" and walked away. Actually thought it was a proper response but threw my food at her just the same and told her to <deleted> off.

bartender100 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Apparently took his bird to the avian vet because it had been sick. The vet said, "I have good news and I have bad news. The bad news is, your bird has chirpees. The good news is, it's tweetable." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billd766 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Beautiful bird. Seen him around for years. I am not bothered by thee actions of this guy. A friend taught me a lesson to be more tolerant in life and towards others, as long as they do no harm and since then I am trying, with more or less success. :-) MS> Like I said in an earlier post I am just curious why someone would risk jeopardising the status of their visa, particularly with a bunch of Thai taxi drivers watching it all and laughing and discussing it amongst themselves. When he does this in such public places sooner or later he will be caught out. Why does it matter what a bunch of thai taxi drivers think? Who cares what they think, they don't matter. In Thailand they matter a lot more than you, I or any farangs does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmccarty Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Most likely, the guy belongs to the bird and has been trained to walk it around and ask for money to pay for the birds whore mongering and drinking in the evenings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
