I have one called Mika. They are very similar to a indian ringneck, They are a lot bigger and a little less stubborn . I hand raised mine from around 4 weeks old. Like any bird they have the potential to bite and to be loud. They need a big cage with room to move around and they love to be out of the cage doing stuff with the family and getting into whatever they can. Mika picks up words and sounds really quick and sometimes i wish he didnt.
