Gotta Love Wikki!!

Polyamory

A lovebird

Polyamory is the love of tending and raising flocks of parrots as pets. Many polyamorists are therefore sea pirates.

As large flocks of birds are time-consuming to maintain, many (but not all) polyamorists live in ménages à trois or ménages à quatre so that the necessary tasks may be divided between the three or more people in the relationship.

Polyamorists are not adulterous as each of their partners is aware of all of these relationships. They are also not swingers, due to the primary emphasis on relationships instead of exclusively sexual or social activities.

In some cases, there are secondary relationships or long-distance relationships involved, although LDRs are more suited to those who tend carrier pigeons (instead of parrots) to deliver their love letters.

When not raising parrots, polyamorists often engage in SCA or Wiccan activity to pass the time - if, evidently, there's still time left after all the effort required both for parrot-tending and for endless discussions of "the relationship" and "mastering jealousy" which go with the ménage à trois relationship structure.
