Did you not read what he wrote? Between the good stuff there's enough oddity that it looks rather stallmanesqe...

> A supply of tea with milk and sugar would be nice. If it is tea I really like, I like it without milk and sugar. With milk and sugar, any kind of tea is fine. I always bring tea bags with me, so if we use my tea bags, I will certainly like that tea without milk or sugar.

You want tea? But don't say what kind?

> If you can find a host for me that has a friendly parrot, I will be very very glad. If you can find someone who has a friendly parrot I can visit with, that will be nice too.

Friendly and Parrot is pretty much a dam unicorn if you know what's up. Why is your preference for Parrots in here? Is this legit something you think any of us should give a shit about?

Brown M&M's was in there for a reason. I am not finding a parrot for you RMS. And, for the love of god, who bought him a parrot.

> But don't say what kind?

Which I interpret as "don't go out of your way to get special tea for me."

> Why is your preference for Parrots in here?

Because some people fawn over famous people, and once they hear through the grapevine that Stallman likes parrots, they'll do daft things like buy him a parrot for the visit, without realizing how horrible that is to the parrot.

There is a missed opportunity to troll him by shacking him up with an unfriendly parrot, trained to say "Open Source Software".

That would be animal cruelty, like buying someone a baby chick for Easter just to laugh at them trying to take care of it or find it a good home.

Parrots are flock animals. An unfriendly parrot means it's not been socialized or engaged with enough, probably isolated and unhappy.
