The bird was just the latest in a succession of (following that hilariously timid whippet!) increasingly pathetic Maris substitutes. Cockatiels are domestic birds anyway, so not exactly swarming with germs and disease. In that respect, Niles caring for a pigeon in Fraiser-Lite was far more out of character (although admittedly the saving grace of an otherwise forgettable episode).

As for 'To Kill a Talking Bird', I have to say I'm with Strat on this episode, and I think my review on this site is far too positive and I wish I could lower the percentage grade I gave it originally. I wouldn't go as far as to put it in my Top 5 Worst Episode list, but if I do one of these threads for 'Most Overrated Episodes', this episode will get the top honour. The actual farcicial elements are all very funny, but I don't think there's enough witty dialogue to balance the silliness. As Strat said it's hugely out of character for Niles, and the whole storylines feels hugely far-fetched and over-the-top. Its definitely my least favourite of the Montana farces.
