Does anyone keep them?
If they speak quite a few words what are there chances of picking up more?

I might be getting one, who is eight years old, and is able to say

"Hello"
"Miss you"
"What are you doing?"

and sings a song

I've got a corella (bare-eyed cockatoo) who is about 8ish years old now.
You never know whether a bird will talk or learn more words so it's not really a good criteria for getting a bird. And to be honest, once you've heard 'Hello, lovely boy' 1000 times in one day, the novelty wears off!

If you're thinking of getting a corella, here are some things I've learnt with mine.
Corellas are a handful. They love to play and are very funny to watch (which is one of their great features) but they also need lots of attention and a strict routine. They seem to need more hands on time than the larger Toos. Without all that they can become a bit aggressive. If I had to describe my corella Milo in one sentence - I would say that he is adorable but a pain in the arse!

Good luck with your decision.
