Macaws, African Grays, and many of the parrots are very tough to have and raise. They are very intelligent wild animals that can be reluctantly domesticated. Been around them before but I’d never want to take on ownership. Wish we were intelligent enough as a species to leave them in the forests where they belong.

Love seeing a success story like this.

The video makes it look easy.

I've gotten along well with birds of that class in brief encounters, but have no idea what it would take to live with one.
