Very good info Grey!
If only everyone interested in owning a parrot would at least see some of that info re; to their behavior etc. prior to having one.
I am 110% on research and education! and it is still and always will be ongoing.
My first parrot was almost (the almighty beloved) Rose Breasted Too. D and I both fell in love with him/her. I went right home and began researching them...finding out that I didn't think that would be good as a first parrot. Through all my research I decided on a Senegal. If the Rose would have come home with me...me just being me at least knew I had a lot more research to do on them. Unfortunately some just see a pretty bird and have no clue at all of what goes into the care of them.
