Love him. We have a Dusky Conure, Monk Parakeet and Lovebird (lutino) right now. We lost out beloved Pacific Parrotlet, Sam, last spring. He was 17. We have debated whether to get a goffin or African grey, but noone in our family understands our passion for our birds. Since we wouldn't have anyone to pass them on to, we have opted for the smaller parrots. How wonderful that your daughter loves your bird and wants him. A lot of people don't know what a joy they are and how playful. It's like having a perpetual toddler, isn't it!
