I love mine. he's 15 months old, and a real delight. he is trained to fly and comeback. he was a rehome to me at 11 months old. he took to me very easily. im very lucky, most times, its a longer ordeal. when i got him, he already knew how to step up, turn around, dance, and play dead, now he can also shake hands, fly free, and say good boy and hello.
they are louder than the smaller group, such as green cheeks, but beauty makes up for that. he doesnt screem as much as he used to. if you get one, first, understand, they are loud, and make sure your family and neighbors, undrstand this too. the reason tiki's prior owner had to give him up, is because her family couldnt take the noise.
your chances of getting one are good, they are very popular.
