Hey Reddit, so I (28F) work from home as a graphic designer. My neighbor (45M) recently got a parrot. Lovely bird, really. He found out about my WFH situation and asked if I could babysit his parrot during the day while he’s at work because “it gets lonely”. He insists it’s just letting the bird sit in my workspace and occasionally talking to it.

I declined, explaining I need concentration for my job, and the occasional squawking and talking could be distracting. He got upset, saying I’m home anyway, and it’s just a small favor. Some neighbors are now saying I’m being unreasonable.

AITA for not wanting to babysit a parrot while working from home? 🦜🖥️
