I used to crave having a parrot growing up, infact, i used to crave having a monkey and an elephant as well, i never got any of them, I grew up with dogs instead, excellent experience. Im still going to have a parrot in the nearest future, i paid for a rabbit some weeks back, havent gotten it yet, im sure it will be a crazy experience too
We have a zoo here but the parrots are mine. The African Grey is easier to look after and does sounds so well. Will do a post on him in the next few days. Max copies whatsup signal noise, phone charging, opening a can of coke etc and they are identical. I had a rabbit that was more like a dog. They like to chew furniture so beware lol.
Lol i know the experience with them is going to be awesome, when i was a kid, an aunt told us stories of talking parrots, my desire for them grew from thence
