6 year old quaker named Penguin
One year old green cheek conure/sun conure hybrid
Okay so I am possibly moving to California and in the move, I will have to re-home my beloved quaker(They are illegal) to a friend, 5 fish tanks and my cat. I am so upset and cry everyday. My mom said that if I feel comfortable with a larger parrot, that she will help me care and raise one. She has experience with birds like cockatiels and has helped own many bigger birds like macaws and amazons. I kinda narrowed my favorites to Goffin cockatoos and Congo African Greys. The possibility of talking in the greys excites me(My quaker talks ALOT). My mom loves the cuddlyness in too's. I know all the stuff you are going to tell me about expense, loudness and time. We wont be moving for a few months if we do and I want to research and research. I just need opinions. So should I go with the entertaining and funny grey? Or the cuddly and hilarious Goffin cockatoo?

My opinion (you know what they say about opinions) is the Grey. Goffins are very neurotic and needy birds. (Flame suit on, ready for the burn)

Since I have an CAG, I would say for for CAG.Keep in mind that they are a bit demanding though.
