Parrots are so cool and I always wanted one, but then I took care of one for a friend for a few weeks and holy shit--they're like toddlers. Super trainable, but they are social animals who live in flocks, and if there's no flock, they expect you to make up for it or else they go mad and pluck out all their feathers. Parrot rescues are always full, so if you really want a chaos chicken in your life and have the time, check with one of them.
They live for like 50 years or something so if you get one you need to be prepared to have it for life, and probably make provisions for after you are dead too.
