Yes but parrots don't rip peoples' arms off.

What is even more amazing is when you tell someone to be careful of an
animal and for some reason they know a lot more about your animal than
you :-( . My wife has a parrot. Cute little - well not so little - guy
but birds will bite and this parrot will when provoked and it is
difficult at times to know what will provoke him. He stays in a cage at
rides. It truly amazes me when someone comes up to look at him and we
tell them to be careful and make sure their fingers stay out of the cage
because he has been know to bit and he bites hard - I have scars.

The next though you know they are sticking their fingers in the cage
trying to rub him.
