if you want a pet parrot, don't jump straight into big macaw territory. They really are a handful. My dad has two and they're pretty well behaved, usually, but when they aren't... Listen, you should just have some experience with something a little more manageable first. Like a pair of Caiques, pictured. They aren't big talkers but they love to play with toys and each other and are generally a joy to have around. (Seriously, look them up on youtube) And when they have tantrums you can get them into the cage for a time out without risk of losing your fingers.
Also, read up on parrot nutrition and proper care from a good source- pretty much all of the relevant books available from www.parrotdiseperch.com will at least set you in the right direction; don't ask the people at big box stores like Petland because they are wrong. (Understanding of parrot nutrition was pretty sparse until about 12 years ago, and the big retailers still haven't caught on.)
