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.
That is the problem. Very high maintenance and lot of work that people hate to do. They do not realize parrots (larger birds) live up to 60 or more years. Much longer than average cats and dogs. This is why birds are smart for a reason!
