Parrots take a lot of care and even more patience! It can be very rewarding if you have the time and the patience but it can also become a full time job quick. I had an African Grey that I babied but I admit it was not easy to keep it happy. You have to be very careful with the diet that you feed them if you want them to live to their full potential. You will have to take a lot of bites if you want to tame them and you will find yourself buying more fruits and vegetables for your bird than you would for your entire family. With that said if I were to get another bird I would go with an Eclectus. Not as loud as the cockatoos or the macaws and they dont have the feather dust. Look into them, they are dimorphic which means that you can tell the male from the female by their appearance and they are supposedly quite tamable. If you want something smaller and on the friendly side, I have a friend with a couple of Senegal parrots and they are awesome!
