Not really. Children are evil. I just became really amused that an annoying as **** bird that sits in flocks outside my house is described as exotic.

It's sort of like saying rats are exotic.

Maybe it was a Major Mitchell ****ie and not a Sulphur crested?

I dunno, $175 and a bird is not a bad deal if they weren't even your kids in the first place- sort of like money for nothing. And heck, lots of people lose their kids to social services with nothing in it for them, so you might as well sell them.
