I sure wouldn't get a parrot or large bird without talking to a lot of people 
who have them first to find out exactly what I'd be getting into.  We'd like 
to get a pair of lovebirds, but those are small birds and from what I've seen 
in the pet store, they can't be too hard to care for, other than needing to 
have at least 2 of them...:)  I'm still curious about the parrots and macaws, 
though.  They are such large birds and so varied and beautiful, and from what 
I've been told, very messy...:)
