Troubled Bird?

My boyfriend's aunt had a African Grey Parrot, and I noticed something that most of them don't. Its that they are not spending much time with the bird, not playing with it, and its very aggressive.
I feel bad for the little girl because it seems that she has no social life witch parrots need. :( And I was wondering if its really that hard to turn a mean bird into a loving playful bird. Because I was actually wondering why this bird was so mean.
I am not a bird owner myself, but hoping I can be someday.
I was going to ask for this Parrot and i was just wondering if I could help her with the time and patience I have.
And she is a pretty one as well. :)

Yes you can actually take a neglected bird and turn it around and it will be extremely loving. You just have to have allot of patients and show that you are the boss and that you care. Good luck and hopefully you are able to get the bird and show it some love.
