I've had a parrot since I was 8. They are basically perpetual two year olds. He has a sense of humor though. He would call the dog to the cage, throw food at him and laugh.. sometimes with a British accent. Not sure where that came from. Fun fact about parrots, they can teach another parrot to talk, but that parrot can't teach another. Also don't consider getting a parrot unless you understand it is a 30-50 year commitment that takes active daily social interaction. They are great but they are a big commitment. Side note, it tooke twenty years to actually witness him sleeping.
