They were fun, but not LOUD and ANNOYING like a full-fledged parrot. One of my cousins had a parrot, but it was neurotic. It kept pulling out it's feathers and couldn't fly.

I could hear it's brawk from upstairs and if I was near the entrance, I'd always flinch. When I'd go in the basement, it'd be worried it would brawk at any second. The thing was inside a cage as big as a person and as wide, I used to wonder if that was enough space. I was divided if I should feel sorry for it.

I was divided if I should feel sorry for it. I feel the same way about the bigger birds - whether they have enough area to get around. We let the parakeet fly around the house. They were fine. But the bigger birds, unless you have a mansion, I don't think it's enough room. In general, I have issues with "pets" kept in confined spaces. People getting large dogs who live in little apartments; keeping rodents in those little cages. Not that I'm a fan of having a rodent for a pet anyway.

And if you let it out, it will fly around the house and be difficult to control or it could escape. Those things come from the rain forest. I'm not convinced they're even domesticated.

My neighbor had a loud bird. He put it on the porch which was nearer our bedroom than his.
All well during the warm weather but it died in the cold.
I really wanted to tell him to take the bird inside but my husband the diplomate told me not to say anything It was annoying!
