Not only are they expensive,
but they have the sweet personality of a 3 year old child.
~~argh~~ I can't imagine hurting a bird like that.
I've known several.
I'd love to own one.
Sadly, Tia is pretty broke these days.
They live for a REALLY long time, too.
( Sometimes over 100 years!)
So you need to make provisions for the bird as you get older.
