Pretty bird. It's better to get a bird that picks you then one you pick and it looks like he picked you. I hope you can get him.

I second on that.

If it picked you, it will be more loyal to you. Less time spend on training for sure. My Lily picked me and picked her own name. She is flighted. I can't tell you how many time she flew out of the house (tried to chase after me) and still comes back when I call. She got locked out one time and still waited for me outside the closed door when she heard me calling and looking for her inside.

I hope I can get him too! I just really hope he's not too much money, though. How much do they typically go for?

He's very cute - just make sure you research species requirements before you buy him

Lol, no, but if this little guy chose me at the store like this, I would love to give him a good home. I'm still looking for a macaw!:42:

Unless it's a juvi. The young ones all have red/orange on the belly and when they molt the make will have the red belly and the female won't. The one in the pic had red/orange on the belly.
