He is very loud we took him in to help out a friend who was unable to take care of him. He could be trained with the right owner, he does like chop and isn't a picky eater. He is quiet at night just gets loud in the mornings. He does t like our small boy but tolerates our girls. He will let them pick him up without biting them. He loves taking baths and does say good boy and kisses. He might do better in a house with another bird. He does t mind dogs or cats.
