Cape Parrot?

Does anyone own a cape parrot? If so, what are they like? They seem like a rather rare breed. I never hear anyone talking about them and I don't think I've ever seen one in a bird store.
I see on this site http://www.capeparrot.org/ that they are supposed to be very rare both in the wild and captivity, so maybe that is why I've never seen one. If you guys have never seen that website before you should check it out. They have some fantastic videos of Thor talking. He's adorable.

If you have trouble finding the videos you have to click on "Cape Pictures" on the left vertical menu. Then "Videos of Thor" is the third on the list that follows. I thought I would explain for anyone interested because it took me forever to find it.

Wow!~
What a neat bird. I hadnt ever heard of them before either. He seems extremely intelligent too. I love the one of him in his "box" when he comes out to see what is going on, then realizes nothing good os going on so he says "oook" and heads back in! Soooo cute!

Hi,

I have a Male Cape Parrot. He is called Miggs. They are great birds. About the same size as an african grey, really good talkers and love to play. We did have a breeding pair until a couple of months ago aswell

From what I have read they tend to be pretty melow birds... so may do fine with others.... there was once another member here who owned an un-cape parrot, which got along with one of her others, I think it was a blue headed pi? It's just too bad this member is no longer with us! The photos were all gorgeous, and the uncape looked like she always had a smile on her face!!!!
