         I'm sorry to hear this... but better you choose "no" for
      now then to take on a responsibility you're not ready for.
      Getting a parrot is a lot like having a child... you figure
      it's expensive, a life-long commitment (altho hopefully your
      kid moves out someday!), a big change in your life. You should
      be commended for your wisdom and consideration... i wish all
      potential pet owners were like you. Hope to see you around here...
      you have a lot to offer to birds and their owners alike!
