If nothing else, at least you're not stuck at an airport, hauling around a pet carrier containing your bored and evil parrot, who has just figured out that the worst possible sound they could possibly be making right now is that of a crying baby.
That's not true, it could be doing the N word on full blast or moaning/bad porn dialogue
At that point when people give you dirty looks, you can point at the pet carriage and explain that it's a parrot. As you couldn't fit a whole fully grown-ass racist uncle into a kitty carrier, they'll just shrug like oh ok.
But with baby crying, you'll have to show every single Concerned Citizen one by one that you are not, in fact, hauling a distressed and crying baby in a pet cage.
