I had one back in the early 80's...it was wild and didn't say shit, mean to most everyone...I guess he was just misunderstood? Had a green and yellow amazon something or other, too. Actually, the talkingest damn bird I ever had was a Quaker parrot. It had to be an old bird, it just talked too well.
So... the cheapest costing bird turned out to be the brightest and best one I ever had...I was sad when he fell over dead with a heart attack! We were gone like a month and when we returned he got so excited he croaked!
anyways...
