Hi, I am thinking about getting a parrot in the next couple to several months and was wondering what I should get as a first bird. The main concerns I have seen from my research is that the need a lot of social interaction( not a problem, I am home a lot), avian vet, what to do if/when they outlive you and that like any semi wild animal, it's not a question of if, but when you get bit. Are there any more major concerns? I am thinking about either a blue and gold or a scarlet macaw but am willing to take suggestions on others. I don't really want anything smaller than a cockatiel. I will be using a cage because I am in a wheelchair and cannot climb to get him/her down from a high place. That said, what size cage do I need for a macaw? Do males or females have more hormonal aggression? I am also considering getting a chameleon. For anybody with experience with them, which would you suggest? Thanks in advance.
