my daughter wants a parrot something wicked , but the attention seeking and full of mischief is exactly what holds me back

we have Flippy, our map turtle
& Rabbie our 9 month old house bunny, such a sweet boy, litter box trained and another attention seeker ,loves loves loves for all eyes and hands to be on him, if we're trying to watch tv on the couch he's forever climbing in my lap to be pet (ted?), crazy boy

The key thing with Parrots (as with any pet really) is make sure you do extensive research. There are many different species, all with different traits and needs.

Some are independant, some are very needy. Most are noisy to differing degrees.

The thing you need to think about most of all is the time involved. A Parrot may well live to be 50+ years and so isn't something to be taken on lightly.

A suggestion for a good "beginner" parrot (if there is such a thing) is one of the Poicephalus varieties ie, Meyers, Senegal, Brown Headed, Jardines.

They tend to be on average smaller, but have very strong personalities and are reasonably quiet and independant. Even these can live to 35 years though.

One thing to keep in mind though is when you get a parrot you may think you own it, but slowly realisation will dawn on you that it is in fact the parrot that owns you.
