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!
Ah, yes. Some parents think 1 year of the terrible twos are bad. Our home had a wall that the bird had put an Oreo Teether Toy through in a fit of rage when he found out it was nothing but plastic! He was actually hopping up & down on top of his cage making the whole cage bounce up & down off the floor. I tossed out the oreo toy immediately. LOL!!
