My wife and I have a Timneh African Grey parrot.
She flighted, very social, very co-dependent. Prefers being on a shoulder or on top of a head most of the time. The flighted part has been difficult at times. She flew away and we lost her for 4 days once. But I still stand by her being flighted being a good choice. She flew to a stranger that saw one of our thousands of fliers and turned her in. She goes where she wants when she wants when we are home and always has energy to burn flying around.
We have staggered schedules so the bird is only alone in her cage 7 hours a day 4 days a week. She actually loves this time as we set up a tablet full of hundreds of videos on random of other birds singing and talking to pass that time she must be in her cage during the day. She -loves- it. Whenever it comes on she will stop what she is doing to go gets all excited and runs over to watch it and start singing and mimicking the things she is seeing.
This may not work out for all birds, but it has certainly worked out for ours. She has her own educational TV :D
