Personally, I happen to love my Conures like they were my own children.  If
there is a risk, then why take it?

    This debate reminds me of "seat belt" and "motorcycle helmet"
discussions that I have had with various people.  One man I know refuses to
wear a seat belt on the basis that he was in an accident once and had he
been wearing a seat belt, then he would have been killed, despite a large
amout of data that suggests otherwise.  Others argue about the safety of
motorcycle helmets.  I know people who will only wear them if forced to (by
law).  The swear up and down that helmets actually increase the danger of
injury in an accident when there is data that clearly shows that helmets
reduce injuries.

    The bottom line is that no matter how much data you provide, some people
will refuse to listen.  They think that they are correct and do not want to
be confused with the facts.
