I go on youtube just to watch parrot videos and I just got done watching this there before I popped in here. Toos really crack me up, I would have loved to have one. I certainly had the time and space to deal with it. My husband on the other hand, once he found out about the noise level he changed his mind. Makes me sad because I was the ideal type of person for one. I enjoy that neediness because I have a caretaker's disposition. Toos are very much like small demanding children. That was my favorite time as a mother, so I would have been great with one. There are some types of smaller Toos that are calmer/quieter right? Isn't the rose-breasted one a little better? Are there others?
