Thanks for the information, Dan. I was just curious about them, having
seen the ad in the paper. The ad didn't state a price nor did it state a
sex. I'm trained in Skinnerian behaviorism and thought I could probably
come up with a way to tame the bird using standard behavior modification
techniques if I had to, in theory at least. Realistically I'd rather not
deal with an untamed bird at this stage of the game. I'm still just a
parrot newbie who doesn't own a bird yet and is reading and asking
questions.
