Big parrots are something that are best chosen for how they work with you and your environment. This is my second Macaw as I had one several years ago when I lived in Singapore and the two are totally different personalities. I also had an African Grey who was brilliant when I lived in Saudi and he would be here with me now except for a lazy bureaucrat. I haven't given up hope though as I have a mate who is going back there and hoping that we can track him down.
To answer your question as to what we have now.
We have Mango the Macaw..

And finally the Budgies or Budgerigars, who are also native to Australia..
We were given three by a friend of my wife's because they didn't want them anymore. The cage on the top of the big cage is what they used to keep them in. I couldn't believe it and immediately had the one they are in now made. The number grew to five and now with the new babies 7 with more on the way. As from tomorrow there residence will more than double as we extend to accomodate the swelling numbers
