That is one of the reasons we would like to want one, they're intelligent, can be very cuddle-ish and depending on which one it can last a lifetime of love, joy and company.
And well that is where we're still a bit stuck. We're not sure which one would fit us well in sense of we want to let it fly around so we cannot go for the biggest kind as it would not have enough space here then but a smaller one would be perfect to be free here ^_^
We're also looking for one that is vocal but not as much as some can be as we live in a apartment and technically we cannot keep pets but I convinced myself if half the block can have dogs, then I can have a birdy bird :P but on the risk for getting reported we're looking into a soft vocal one. Maybe a Meyer? (or was it spelled Mayer.. :/ I've seen so many names pass by they start to blend lol.)
