 SH> The cockatiel i had before this Grey was a baby when i
 SH> got her. I actually enjoyed feeding her by hand (she was down
 SH> to one feeding/day when i got her.) Except for that annoying
 SH> screeching when she would see something that reminded her of
 SH> the feeding pipette (like a pen, cigarette, pencil, etc.). :>
Heh. That's what I want to avoid. I would consider a just-weaned
baby, maybe...but I'd rather not have to hand-feed if I can avoid it.
 SH> Almost bought an Amazon before my current guy: a neighbor was
 SH> selling him. The only problem i could see with him was that
 SH> his beak was messed up and he had to be taken to a vet every
 SH> few months for trimming. But then another neighbor told me
 SH> that he screamed so incessantly that the owner kept him in the
 SH> garage! No thanks! (Now i wonder if he screamed because he was
 SH> in the garage away from the family, or just liked to scream.)
Well, obviously being in the garage wouldn't help the screaming any.
I think I can deal with screaming if I can figure out why the bird
screams and then modify the behavior accordingly.
The PBS Parrot program was on again for the sixth time in 3 months. It
must be pretty popular since it's being shown so often. I learn
something new every time I watch it. The segment with the parrot singing
about a bed cracks me up every time.
