Parrots are very expressive, and if you live with one for months/years, you'll learn its moods. Not hard to see how a parrot responds to something new.


They also have clear signs of depression (eg plucking their feathers). They are really amazing animals, but non trivial to keep as pets.


I have three, and they are a lot of work. Assume a couple hours a day. We make toys for them every day. The noise, the mess, the neediness. It’s a lot. They are a joy, but I don’t really don’t suggest others to get any.
