They demand at lot of attention and inter-action.
Basically it's like having a baby 24/7.
Mishka my AG wakes up at 4.AM every morning.
Little bit of playtime for both of us.
Then it's breakfast.
Through out the day, she wants someone to interact with, talking to her and giving her attention.
At night, chatterbox time.... she sits on my lap for an hour, we chat, play and interact.
Parrots need to be stimulated constantly.
A parrot loves routine, know what to expect, on a daily basis.
As SB mentioned you must be willing to put your heart and soul into caring for a bird.
No matter how intelligent a bird is, if he is not given proper care, loving and quality time, many problems might occur.
You probably want to teach the bird to talk, it takes hours and hours of constant talking to get a bird to talk.
What if the bird never talks. When purchasing a bird there is no guarantee they will talk.
A true bird lover will accept the bird unconditionally.
Keep us updated whatever your decision.
Great day
