I have a relevant anecdote to share. My father [0] bought a pair for African grey parrots [1] last year. Both were around 6 months old at that time. They do require attention and looking after them has certainly brought happiness to him.

[0] Runs a business which loses $200-$300 per month and works only 2-3 hours a day. So sort of retired.

[1] I'm not encouraging keeping animals, endangered or not, as pets or in cages.
