Large parrots are very sensitive birds.  They do not do take kindly to new human companions, so it might be wise to really think about what you would be letting yourself in for.  You will have to give a large parrot a lot of attention and affection if you do not want it to mutilate its feathers.  You will have to keep its cage squeaky clean if you do not want to risk your parrot becoming ill.  You will have to provide a complex environment and a large cage for your parrot if you want it to be happy.  Large parrots do NOT enjoy just sitting on a perch all day. 

Large parrots are affectionate and lively companions.  They are also messy, noisy, animals who will often caress their owners but bite strangers.  They can sink into what passes for depression if they are not cared for or if they are given to a new owner. 

All in all, sharing life with a large parrot can be a blast

for where it will live after you pass.  I thought about getting a parrot, but I decided that it was too much of a responsibility considering how long they live and how much attention they need.  If they don't get attention, they WILL have a tantrum like a 2 year old, so make absolutely sure this is what you really want.  Also, parrots are LOUD, really LOUD.

I ended up getting female zebra finches and love them dearly.  They are not loud and because I have a cage with the seed catch, they aren't too messy.  Note: Boy zebra finches are loud, so avoid them if you can't handle the noise.  Girls warble, boys squawk.
