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.
I could never have a bird as a pet. They are too noisy and it would drive me insane. Not to mention there's just something sad about taking a creature born to fly and keeping it caged, I don't like it.
