          Oh, guess greys are out then! Amazons are clowns, and lovely
      mimics, but they do have that screaming problem. Almost bought
      one before i got my Grey (the lady told me he only screamed
      "once in a while"). But the neighbors told me she kept him in
      the garage and he screamed constantly. I would too if kept in a
      garage, but that wouldn't have worked around here. Have you seen
      my posts about Lories? Have seen them in pet stores... they are
      so delightful... such little hams, always active and hanging
      upside down, acrobatic and they talk too. Macaws are gorgeous.
      Do you have a particular sub-species in mind? My favorite is
      the greenwing.
