I recently lost my bird, and I know for a FACT that Kona is not replaceable - parrots are not toys, pieces of furniture, or other inanimate objects without personality or uniqueness. Would you have made this commerical with a dog, or a child?

Please remove this add. These are pets not wild birds that can live on there own. People who purchaced birds should not be given the idea that they can be set out inro the wild. Thank you

Parrots are not replacable toys or accessories! There are thousands of homeless parrots because people see them as easy come easy go. Please do good with your commercials instead of feeding a dangerous stereotype.

Absolutely disgusting! Parrots are irreplaceable as are any other pets! I know I would never be able to replace my senegal parrot Kenya if anything were to happen to him! He is my baby! Shame on you PayPal!

How about we just throw away PayPal and get something else? They think our pets are disposable than I think they are too

Seriously! How incredibly irresponsible of you to show such message to the public. How insensitive! Would you show that same thing if it was a dog? A cat? But, a bird! The message comes across loud and clear that PayPal doesn't have any respect for the life of a bird. So very sad. What message are you sending to the youth of today?

Very offended by this advert and the BT advert. Birds are family pets just like cats and dogs not throw away animals.

No pet is just replaceable. Especially a parrot that is bonded to you. Disgusting.

Seriously??? And if the woman was caring for child and it runs away, could she buy another one on paypal? Do they really think people that love their parrots wouldn't know the difference?? This is outrageous and hateful to parrot owners.
