Since it looks like he is going to be an inside bird watch out using non stick frying pans. The cooking fumes from those on some types are lethal to parrots.

Thats what they suggested and we will probably do that in the near future.

He an umbrella.

The money problem is more of a problem of this just popped up and we didnt happen to have the money laying around, we can afford it.

I dont have any other pets.

Thank you all!  :)

You can't ever have any other indoor pets while you have him.  Unless it's like fish or something.

My Dad had one. Meanest &%$#ing bird I've ever been around. His beak was like a bolt cutter. He would attack anyone that opened the cage. Years later my sister bought one and it's a fairly sweet bird to her, anyone else and it will rip them up.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

 Glad to see you doing a trial run!   I've homed a few adult dogs that  didnt "fit" the first owner,with any animal that's used to a certain life,changing it can have some not so nice effects.

  I hope you and the bird get along!

   There was a macaw stolen from his home nearby the other day,only the bird was taken,very strange indeed.
